Hillsboro, Kan. - Medicine Lodge High School graduate Zach Richert (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) has signed a letter of intent to play baseball next season for Tabor College.

Richert, a 6-0, 160-pound centerfielder and pitcher, will be looked at to provide depth in both the outfield and on the mound next season for the Bluejays.

While at Medicine Lodge High School, Richert batted .538 and was named Honorable Mention All-Central Plains as an outfielder. He helped lead the Indians to a runner up finish in the Central Plains League, the regional title, and a trip to the class 3A Kansas State Baseball Tournament with a record of 19-4.

He has also excelled in the classroom as a four year member of the high school honor roll.

"Zach will be a two way guy for us next season," said Head Baseball Coach Mark Standiford. "He will provide us with a left handed option out of the bullpen as well as give us depth in the outfield. Zach is also and outstanding student, and will be a great fit to the Tabor College community."

Zach is the son of Dwain and Sarah Richert.
