(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) -- Jordan Danks, the all-time hits leader in Charlotte Knights franchise history, will be inducted into the Charlotte Baseball Round Table of Honor on Saturday, May 21. An on-field induction ceremony will take place before Saturday’s 7:04 p.m. first pitch. The Knights host the Norfolk Tides (Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles) in a six-game series at Truist Field this week.

Originally drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the seventh round of the 2008 MLB June Amateur Draft, Danks played parts of five seasons with the Knights from 2010 to 2014. During that time, he earned a Rawlings Gold Glove Award in 2011 and was named to the All-Knight Stadium Team in 2013. On August 1, 2014, Danks recorded his 440th career hit with the Knights, shattering Joe Borchard’s franchise record for hits. The hit -- a two-run home run -- cemented his legacy with the Knights as the club’s most decorated offensive player in franchise history.
