Righthander Brett Zawacki missed the 2006 baseball season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee playing basketball, but he announced he was back in a big way by touching 94 mph at a showcase in October.

Zawacki backed out of an initial commitment to Illinois State, choosing instead to accept an oral offer (but no official scholarship) from Arizona State.
