Zachary Yates brings All-American late-inning polish to CBU’s bullpen
Yates arrives at California Baptist after a dominant 2025 season at Westmont, where he earned first-team NCBWA NCAA Division II All-American honors and set a career saves record with 19, including seven saves in that season alone. His value is obvious: he’s a proven closer with pressure-inning poise, consistency, and the kind of strikeout-oriented relief profile teams love when games tighten up. If you need a dependable right-hander who has already shown he can finish games at a high level, he looks like a strong fit.
