Zachery Tackett '24 Recruiting Profile

My love for baseball started when I was eight years old and I started playing for my town’s all-star/travel team. I played on that team for five years, winning the Cal Ripken 46/60 World Series in Alabama during my 12-year-old year. This love for the sport drove me to work hard and stay disciplined to become the player I am today. I am primarily a right-handed pitcher, throwing in the low to mid 80’s, but I also start at third base, when not pitching for my high school team. I have made massive progress in my senior season and am one of the leaders of our team. The passion and dedication I have for baseball have made me determined to play at the collegiate level, after high school. I know that I could still make major improvements to my game if given the chance to play at a university, or a junior college. As a 4.24 GPA student, I have been able to put forth my best effort in the classroom and on the field. My dedication to both areas would make me a great addition to a college team.
