Riversharks Announce More 2015 Signings

CAMDEN, N.J. -- The Riversharks announced their next round of player signings today, bringing back left-handed pitchers Fu-Te Ni and Eric Kline and welcoming right-handed pitcher Sean Gleason and infielder Dan Hennigan to the team. 

Left-handed pitcher Fu-Te Ni, 32, returns to the Riversharks for a second season.  A native of Taiwan, Ni made his Major League debut with the Detroit Tigers in 2009, appearing in 36 games and posting an impressive 2.61 ERA in his rookie campaign.  He spent 4 years in the Tigers organization prior to joining the Atlantic League last season, where he split time between the Lancaster Barnstormers and the Riversharks.  In 11 games with the ‘Sharks last season, Ni went 2-5 with a 4.72 ERA while throwing 58 strikeouts.   

Left-handed pitcher Eric Kline, 25, will also return to the Riversharks for a second time.  He previously played for East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania and the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks, and won a NJCAA National Championship as a member of the Iowa Western Community College baseball team in 2010.  A late August signing last season, Kline started the final 2014 home game for the Riversharks, and in seven total games struck out four over 16 innings and recorded a 3.94 ERA. 

Right-handed pitcher Sean Gleason, 29, will begin his first Atlantic League season with the Riversharks.  Drafted in 2007 by the Baltimore Orioles out of St. Mary’s College of California, he spent seven seasons in the Orioles organization prior to joining the Mexican League for the remainder of the 2013 season.  Gleason has split time between roles as both a starter and a reliever, and brings a career 4.03 ERA and 453 strikeouts to the Riversharks this season. 

Infielder Dan Hennigan, 24, will play his first season in a ‘Sharks uniform after playing for the Somerset Patriots for two seasons.  Hennigan, a native of Downingtown, PA, played for Somerset in both the 2012 and 2013 seasons.  Throughout his Atlantic League experience, Hennigan scored 50 runs and recorded 51 hits in 100 total games.  He split his time between shortstop and second base during his two stints with the Patriots.
