Kalamazoo, Mich. – The two new players for the Kalamazoo Growlers enter the Northwoods League from the University of Tennessee. The signing of freshmen Zach Daniels and Sam Springer is presented by the OnStaff Group.<\/span><\/p>\n

OF – Zach Daniels | 6\u20191\u201d | R\/R | Freshman | Stockbridge, GA<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2017 he was named a Rawlings-Perfect Game Honorable Mention All-American. <\/span><\/p>\n

A right-handed hitter, Daniels produces a short powerful swing and generates outstanding raw bat speed. He moves easily to and through the ball in the outfield, fields the ball out front, and makes accurate throws with some carry. Daniels ranked 14th in the 2016 National Showcase with a 60 time of 6.45.<\/span><\/p>\n

LHP – Sam Springer | 6\u20190\u201d | R\/L | Freshman | Knoxville, TN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Springer ended his final high school season with a 1.48 ERA in 47.1 innings pitched and had 60 strikeouts.<\/span><\/p>\n
