This week on Chatter in the Swamp, we have some news about all-stars! We also sit down with Zack Thompson, the Keene SwampBats’ steady hand behind the plate and newest commit to Gardner-Webb University. From his standout years at Gordon State to his time at Mercer and now his summer in the NECBL, Zack walks us through the journey that’s shaped him, on and off the field.

We talk about what it takes to be a great catcher, his approach at the plate, his faith, and the importance of leadership. Zack shares stories from his LaGrange, Georgia, roots, how he stays grounded, and why Cheez-It Snap’d is an elite snack. Plus: his favorite part of summer ball in Keene, and what it means to bond with players from all over the country.

It’s a faith-filled, fun, and fast-paced conversation with one of the Swamp’s best communicators—don’t miss it!
