Noah Melchior – West Chester University (Baseball)
Major: Secondary Education
Final list of colleges: West Chester, Temple, George Washington, St. Joe’s
Reasons for choosing West Chester: “One of the biggest factors was I wanted my parents to see my games, and it’s 45 minutes away. I’m really excited for them to see me play the next four years. I loved all the coaches and players. They were so welcoming and friendly when I went for my official visit. I loved the atmosphere. I’ll probably study Secondary Education, and they have a great program for that, so I’m excited.”
What was the progression that led you to playing collegiate baseball? “Ever since I was a little kid, it’s been a dream to play in college. I’m really blessed with the opportunity to play at West Chester next year.”
Coach Kevin Manero says: “Noah has a strong arm and a good pitcher’s build. Those are the physical building blocks any pitcher would love to start with. He is also able to get good action on his off-speed stuff to complement his fastball.
“Noah is an outstanding individual. He’s a great human being, a great citizen, a hard worker, and his best days are ahead. We’re very happy to see him move on. Sometimes you don’t really peak until your senior season. You do some good things along the way, you get the attention of college coaches and then you get to finish North Penn with an exclamation point in the spring. We’re looking forward to that because the ceiling is very high for Noah.”
