Zach Cates

We love pleasant surprises!

Zach Cates is a newly converted pitcher from Northeast Texas CC. A former catcher, the 6'3", 200lb right-hander has a fastball than runs 90-95 to go along with a nasty changeup. Just 20 years old, this spring was Zach's first full season to concentrate on pitching, and he struck out 92 in just 69 innings.

We feel he has the chance to be a starter and should continue to develop as he spends more time on the mound.

Well I watched the MLB vid on cates and I would not want to face that change as a lefty, that thing was tailing and tailing and tailing away with great arm action. Looked pretty dang similar to his fastball arm action.
