The team even played in a tournament in Cooperstown in New York when he was 12.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In high school, Zamora played varsity baseball for four years at Miami Southridge Senior High School. He played sparingly as a freshman and sophomore but his career took off after his junior campaign when he moved from first base to shortstop and boasted a .292 batting average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But by his senior year, the coronavirus pandemic made the recruiting process difficult. He was lightly recruited and considered walking on at Florida SouthWestern State College in Fort Myers before MDC swooped in with an offer late last summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt felt great because at the time I was stressing about which college I was going to go to,\u201d said Zamora who lives 15 minutes from Kendall Campus. \u201cWhen they hit me up, I got excited because I knew I was going to play college [ball].\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His teammates say he has been a great fit. He has not committed an error at second base this season and his ability to switch hit makes him a key cog in the lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zamora has also come up big in key moments. Nothing illustrates that more than his pinch-hit walk-off home run on March 3 that gave the Sharks a 4-3 win versus <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lincoln Land Community College in a tournament in New Port Richey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat was really a special moment,\u201d said catcher Victor Davila.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since that victor the Sharks have turned their season around, winning 10 of their next 11 games.\u00a0 They are 26-12-1 and 9-0 in Southern Conference play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe\u2019s just a kid that understands his role on the team and is out here every day trying to get better,\u201d Morales said. \u201cHe wants to win and makes all his teammates better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baseball is in Joseph Zamora\u2019s blood.
