For the second time in three days, a Tri-State native is headed to the big leagues.
On Tuesday, Castle High School alum and Chandler, Indiana native, Zach Messinger was selected as the 393rd pick overall in the 13th round of the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft.
The 6'6", 225-pound, right-handed pitcher recently finished his junior year playing for the University of Virginia Cavaliers who advanced to the College World Series for the first time since 2015. Unfortunately for Zach and his teammates, their run at a national championship came to end when they lost an elimination game to number two seed Texas on June 24th.
