Colby Zinser

Baseball's been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was a three-year starter on the Wakulla High Varsity team, earned All-Big Bend Player of the year, and racked up over 100 hits during my high school career.

After that, I played at LaGrange College, where I started at third base for two years and hit four homeruns as a freshman.

Now I am back home in Wakulla, excited to help the next generation of players sharpen their skills, build confidence, and reach their goals on and off the field.
