Facial hair has become a dominant tool of expression, and beards have begun to become popular in the baseball world. From pros like Jayson Werth and Matt Shoemaker to the retired Brian Wilson, beards are trending in America’s game.
Joining the trend is none other than Charlotte’s own catcher Derek Fritz.A 6-foot tall junior from Sunrise, Fla., Fritz transferred to Charlotte this year from Pensacola State Community College.
While sporting a short beard during his time in high school, Fritz made some major accomplishments.
During Fritz’s high school career he made an appearance in the Florida Athletic Coaches Association All-Star Game, was named a Rawlings All-Region second teamer and was also named to the Miami Herald All-Broward 6A-8A First Team as a designated hitter.
