Next up is Zach Amrein - who played with the Cillicicothe Mudcats in the MINK league over the past summer and is now headed to Illinois State University. The 2007 Carmel Catholic graduate and 2009 Lake County Community College all region player had a dual role over the summer. In 24 game with the Mudcats Zach hit .275 with 5 doubles and went 1-0 on the mound with an ERA of 0.00. Zach also received All-American honorable mention accolades after hitting .430 with 11 home runs and 70 RBIs at Lake County.
Even though he's right-handed, Amrein taught himself to throw lefty when he insisted on catching the ball with his dominant hand as a kid. He also bats from the left side. In his first tryout at Carmel Catholic, Amrein brought both a right and left-handed glove -- just in case!
