Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year: Zane Cline, Delta High School senior

Zane Cline was selected as the inaugural Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year for baseball.

“I think it’s awesome and I’m very appreciative of being given this award,” Cline said.. “It’s a reminder that hard work gets you places. It’s been a main focus for me that, you might not be the best player, but if you go out there and work harder than all of them, then it’s not going to go unseen.”

Cline played an integral role in getting the Eagles to back-to-back semi-state appearances. He pitched in four of Delta’s five playoff games, giving up a total of eight hits, seven walks and six runs, only three of which were earned, while striking out 35 batters.

As a whole, Cline earned a 1.82 ERA and struck out 94 batters over 65 ⅓ innings. He averaged 10.1 strikeouts per seven innings and had a 1.04 WHIP. When not pitching, Cline  played second base and slashed a .340 average with a 1.027 OPS, 28 RBIs 26 runs, 10 doubles and five home runs.

“Before our class came in, Delta was kind of unseen,” said Cline, who will play for Taylor University next year. “Our class was able to go to back-to-back semi-state appearances and that’s hard at any level. … We were able to help Delta for our four years and also the future, letting people know Delta is a baseball school too.”

“Zane was obviously huge," said DHS coach Jacob VanPelt. “He was our ace on the mound and a good leader at the plate too. We moved him to the top of the order as our table setter. Of all the pitchers we faced all year, I thought he was one of the best.”
