Flying under the radar should not be an unfamiliar feeling for former Iowa baseball standout, Tanner Wetrich. He was a first-team all-state infielder out of high school but largely went unrecruited. Wetrich headed to Williams Wood University for the 2016 season and proceeded to hit 0.344 with 11 doubles and 3 home runs.
He transferred to Mineral Area Community College for the 2017 season and hit 0.356 with 6 home runs, 12 doubles, and 1 triple. His efforts were good enough to be named first-team all-region and first-team all-conference.
The University of Iowa came calling and Wetrich landed with the Hawkeyes as their primary shortstop for his junior and senior seasons.
