Already thriving at third, Iacono learns to catch
After the end of last year, the baseball team found itself with only one catcher returning for the next season, junior Zach Wendkos.This situation was especially unfortunate since the player deficiency concerned catching, the most strenuous and demanding position in baseball day-in and day-out, where having a backup is absolutely critical to success.So head coach Shawn Bradley turned to an unlikely candidate, sophomore Sal Iacono, who had played nothing but third base throughout his high school and college career, starting every game at third for the Tigers last season as a freshman."We needed another catcher, and coach [Bradley] asked me to do it," Iacono said.
