Mosbarger, who is a former prep star at nearby Bellefontaine High School, recently completed a collegiate playing career at the University of Akron and The Ohio State University.

He hit for a .247 average at the plate with four home runs, 24 doubles, and four triples, while recording 31.2 combined innings with a 1-0 record on the mound for the Zips.

During his prep years at Bellefontaine, Mosbarger earned first team All-Ohio and Area Player of the Year as a junior and senior. He also racked up three first team All-Central Buckeye Conference awards and first team All-Miami Valley honors.
