The RiverHawks announced Monday that they have signed catcher-outfielder Ernie Munoz. Munoz made appearances at six positions for the Coastal Kingfish of the independent Continental League last year.
Munoz hit .288 with no home runs and 27 RBI last year for the Kingfish. His 14 doubles was the league’s fifth-best total.
Munoz played 35 games in right field, five behind the plate, four each as a center fielder and as a pitcher, two at third base and one at second base.
Munoz, 23, has rookie status in the Northern League.
