Bird Dawgs Nab Lefty & Shortstop for 2025 Roster

KINSTON, North Carolina (February 27, 2025) - The Down East Bird Dawgs, along with the Frontier League, an MLB Partner League, have signed two additional players to the roster!

The latest signings by the Bird Dawgs include shortstop Trey Law and lefthanded pitcher Nate Lamb, bringing the roster to 22 players as of the end of February.

Law spent five years playing collegiate baseball for Division I Youngstown State (2020-2024). He also played two seasons of collegiate summer league baseball as he played for the Florence Flamingos of the Coastal Plain League in 2021 and the Burlington Sock Puppets of the Appalachian League in 2022. During his time at YSU, he became the only player in program history to have at least 80 hits in two different seasons as he notched 166 total hits in his Junior and Senior seasons.

Lamb graduated high school ranked as the 170th top prospect in the country and second in South Carolina. He signed with Clemson over offers from North Carolina, South Carolina, Coastal Carolina, and College of Charleston but ended up transferring to Spartanburg Methodist to play Juco ball after the fall of his freshman year. Lamb was at SMC from 2018-2021 and posted a 3.29 ERA while striking out 138 batters in 115 innings pitched. He then transferred to Division II Young Harris College where he stayed from 2022-2023 and compiled a 4.23 ERA, striking out 179 batters in 168.2 innings pitched.
