The Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team has proved many wrong this year by contending for a conference title. The unbelievable turnaround has been led by junior right-hander Andrew Zellner, who has helped put the Bearcats make a run at their first winning season since 2011.
If anyone told Andrew Zellner when he was a sophomore in high school that he would become an ace on a Division 1 baseball team someday, he probably would have told that person they were highly optimistic, and a little crazy at the same time.
Zellner was coming off Tommy John surgery, seemingly destined to play a role as a position player for most of his future baseball career.
