Marietta, Georgia (Cobb County)
Since the first 6-4-3 teams were formed in 2007 and over the evolving success of the organization, 6-4-3 has witnessed thirty (35) of its players drafted or signed by Major League Baseball (MLB) clubs. Only a select few of those impressively talented players have risen through the minor leagues to a big league, MLB roster.

In his first MLB outing, Kent pitched 8.2 innings, logged 5 Ks, gave up 0 Walks, 2 runs, and 5 hits, en route to earning his first Win.
