The just-turned 19-year-old from Boulder, Col. is set to take the field as a freshman with NCAA Division II Washburn University out of Topeka, Kan. this coming Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Assocation campaign after playing the last three seasons with his hometown high school.
Unfortunately, the last time Zamora took the field for Boulder High was during the 2019 campaign -- the Colorado High School Activities Association baseball season doesn’t start until mid-April, meaning the entire 2020 season was wiped out due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his junior season with Boulder, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound hurler made nine relief appearances, posting a 1-3 record with a 5.69 earned run average, striking out six and walking 17 while giving up 27 hits and 16 earned runs in 19 ⅔ innings of work.
Prep Baseball Report described Zamora as having “a smooth balanced repeatable delivery. High leg lift, smooth hand separation when working towards the plate. High ¾ arm slot. Loose arm with good extension out front on the release.”
His fastball has hit as high as 85 miles per hour, and he mixes in an 11/5 curve, change-up and splitter that all hover in the 68 to 77 mph range.
Washburn University is scheduled to kick off their spring schedule on Feb. 13 when they face Northwest Missouri State University in the Southeastern Oklahoma State Invitational.
The Moose Jaw Miller Express open their WCBL season when they take on the Medicine Hat Mavericks on May 28 at Ross Wells Park.
