Get To Know Our Pro: Joe Billick

Where did you grow up / born? Born in Cedar Rapids, IA – Grew up in Dunwoody, GA.    At what age did you start playing baseball? I started playin at age 5 at Murphy Candler Park    What positions did you play growing up? Pitcher / Catcher / 3rd    What lead you to your primary position? I knew that it was easier to make my high school team if I was a good catcher. I also knew that College and Pro scouts are always on the lookout for big catchers with good arms.   Where did you play summer baseball in high school? I played on a local team that an old coach had put together we played tournaments in the southeast.     What was your favorite amateur memory? Probably going to the college World series in 2006 with Georgia.   Who were the top schools recruiting you to play in college? Honestly I didn’t have many. I went to a pitcher/catcher camp at UGA threw a 1.85 down to second base  and got offered a scholarship about a week later.    What made you pick your school? I have always wanted to play at UGA. For as long as I could remember it was the only scholl I ever  wanted to play at. It was in state and I have been a bulldog fan     Where did you play summer ball in college? 2004 – Vermont Mountaineers – New England Collegiate Baseball League ...
