Hudson will now join a team in Bowie that already has a center fielder and leadoff hitter in Xavier Avery. Hudson could play some in left or right. Avery is expected to continue in center and batting leadoff for Bowie.

In 2010, Hudson, a fourth-round draft pick in 2008, batted .260 with 83 runs and 40 steals in 136 games at Frederick. His 40 steals led the Carolina League.

We tipped you last week to the possibility of this.
