Tate’s Zach McCulley Signs With William And Mary

Tate High School senior Zach McCulley has signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.

McCulley gained national exposure this summer at the National Academic Perfect Game Showcase in New Hampshire. He was selected to the Top Prospect List after pitching three shutout innings, giving up just one hit while striking out six and featuring a fast ball clocked in the upper 80’s. Each player who attends this showcase must have at least a 3.0 GPA.

With a six-foot-five, 200 pound frame, this left handed pitcher and first baseman posted a 2-0 record last year for the Aggies including a win over rival Pace. He had a 7-0 record this summer for the Florida Longhorns, including a 2-0 record at the 18U World Wood Bat Championship Tournament in Marrietta, Georgia.

He maintains a 4.5 GPA and entertained offers from Brown, Davidson, Georgetown, Columbia, and all three service academies before settling on William and Mary. McCulley visited the campus earlier this year.

“The offer was the right place and the right time and I am relieved to have made my decision,” McCulley said.

William and Mary will play their most difficult schedule ever in 2010 with nine games against four teams that made the NCAA tournament, including defending national champion LSU.
