Zach Minnick made a name for himself with one impressive performance after another at several PBR events in 2013 and 2014. The 6-foot, 215-pound C/3B emerged as a high level recruit following his performance as a member of Team Pennsylvania at the Under Armour Midwest Future Games in August of 2013. Minnick had another solid showing in the 2013 Fall College Prospect Program turning in pop times of 1.88-1.95 and the top bat exit velocity of the day at 96 mph.

Currently ranked No. 1 in WV and No. 80 in the PBR combined rankings for the Class of 2015, Minnick may have saved his best for the PA Top Prospect Games in June. Over the course of the two day event Minnick went 5-for-5 in game play at the pate including a double, two triples and a 385 foot opposite field home run. The six foot, 215-pound catcher ran a 7.01 60-yard dash, and flashed an 87 mph arm from the crouch with pop times of 1.84-1.99 during defensive evaluations. Minnick went on to throw 88 mph across the diamond from 3rd base and 91 mph from the outfield. The right-handed hitter completed his impressive performance by turning in one of the top bat exit velocities of the event at 96 mph.

Minnick has since announced his verbal commitment to Campbell University making him one of 53 prospects from last year's Fall Program to make a college commitment to date.
