Injured his throwing shoulder in the fall and opted for labrum surgery, which he underwent in December ... Was recruited as a two-way player who coaches were extremely excited about before it was determined that he needed surgery ... His status for the season is in question ... He could be available toward the latter half of the season, and if he plays, it will more than likely be as a hitter ... Could have been one of the team's better hitters as a freshman, and was projected to bat at the top of the order ... A good defensive outfielder who also would have provided left-handed depth out of the bullpen ... Had a great fall, earning two wins in relief for Team Orange during the Hokie Fall World Series, pitching 7.1 scoreless innings ... Also collected three hits in a game four victory.
High School: Earned four letters for Coach Mike Lockhart at Notre Dame Academy, helping the team to three consecutive Virginia Independent School state titles ... Was twice named a first-team all-state performer, and was placed on the All-Extra second team by The Washington Post as a senior, in addition to receiving an All-Met honorable mention ... In 2007, batted .472 with six homers, 14 doubles and 48 RBIs, while also going 4-1 as a pitcher with three saves, 38 strikeouts and a 1.89 ERA ... As a junior hit .364 with four homers and 38 RBIs, including a 5-1 record on the mound with a 2.02 ERA, two saves and 42 strikeouts ... Was a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and earned the Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Award.
Personal: Merritt Albert Sosnoskie ... Born 2/25/89 in Langhorne, PA ... Son of Tony and Marcy Sosnoskie ... Brother of catcher Anthony Sosnoskie ... Enrolled in general engineering.
