After a successful four-year career with the Denison baseball team as a player, Zach Huttie returns in 2012 for his second season as the team's volunteer assistant coach.

A native of Cary, N.C., Huttie earned a bachelor of arts in environmental studies and communication in 2010.  His duties as a member of Mike Clark's coaching staff include working with hitters, infielders as well as field maintenance.  Huttie will also assist with recruting efforts for the Big Red program.

A four-year lettwinner, Huttie enjoyed a strong senior season for the Big Red in 2010 as he helped his squad to an NCAC West Division championship and a runner-up finish at the NCAC Tournament.  Huttie hit .298 with 21 RBIs and eight doubles while leading all shortstops in the conference with a .961 fielding percentage.  That season the sure-handed Huttie committed just six errors in 147 chances.
