With Spring Training kicking off and College Baseball in full swing, we want to highlight former Dowling Catholic Players who are currently still in the game of baseball. Our second player is Hank Himrich, class of 2020. @himrich12 was a Right Fielder for the Maroons, then played his college ball at Bradley University and Grand View University. Last summer, Hank went on to play independent baseball in the Pioneer League for the Rocky Mountain Vibes. He plans on going back out west again this summer to continue his career. Good luck this year Hank!
GV Baseball wants to congratulate Sr. Hank Himrich @himrich12 for being selected #5 draft pick for the Rocky Mountain Vibes in the Pioneer League. Himrich is coming off a World Series, and hitting .369, and blasting 17 HR's. Congrats to one of the best young men you'll ever meet!
