Brady Pacha knows his Shocker baseball history from a first-hand perspective, sitting on the metal bleachers above the first-base dugout.
"It was always fun, everyone cheering them on," Pacha said. "Alec Bohm was fun to watch, because he's one of the best Shockers there was."
Pacha's connection to Shocker baseball doesn't end with Bohm, now playing third base for Philadelphia. He and his family are friends with the family of Carl Hall, the former outfielder who died in 2024. He also knows the Dreifort family and used to quiz them about Darren Dreifort, the 1993 Golden Spikes Award winner who pitched and hit for Wichita State.
