For sophomore infielder Zach Heeke, the decision to play baseball and attend college at Central Michigan University was something he always had in mind.
His older brother, Ryan Heeke, was a five-year member of the Chippewas baseball team with his career coming to a close in 2016. Zach’s father, Dave Heeke, was the Athletic Director at CMU for 11 years from 2006 to 2017.
“I always knew I wanted to go to Central because of my brother,” Zach said. “My brother had a great experience here and I already had friends on the team. All of those were factors.
