Lothes Jumps At Chance To Play In The South

Christian Lothes LHP / OF / Lakewood Hebron , OH / 2019

HEBRON - Until this summer Christian Lothes had never been to the state of North Carolina. But soon it will be his home.

The top-rated unsigned 2019 in Ohio will be headed south after committing to play baseball at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

“I used to watch North Carolina and South Carolina play in the College World Series,” the Lakewood Hebron incoming senior said. “They were always good teams. Since then I’ve always want to go south to play. It’s different competition, and seeing better competition is what I want to do. It will help toward my biggest dream one day … major league baseball.”

Interest from the Conference USA school came at this year’s PBR Top Prospect Games.

“They saw me at the TPGs,” the 6-2 195-pound left-hander reflected about Charlotte, which this past season finished fourth in the 12-team conference won by Southern Miss. “I did pretty good with four strikeouts and (allowing) just one hit. I only had one 3-2 count.”

It was business as usual for Lothes at the event.
