Enjoy episode 12 of Bulldawg Illustrated Digital’s One on One with Jeff Dantzler featuring Zac Kristofak, former UGA baseball ace right-hander and currently a pitcher with the Los Angeles Angels organization.
Zac Kristofak is one of the best and most popular Georgia pitchers of all time. On an exclusive list of Bulldog hurlers with double-digit wins and saves, Kristofak sported a career record of 12-3 with 12 saves. As a senior, he was 5-0 with six saves.
What truly makes his mark shine though is the “hit-list” of opponents he defeated on the mound.
When combining his wins and saves, Kristofak three times defeated Tech and Tennessee. He twice took down Auburn, and recorded wins/saves against Florida, Alabama, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, and Georgia Southern. Kristofak was the epitome of the term “big-game pitcher.”
The tragic obstacle he’s overcome makes Kristofak even more remarkable. He was awarded the UGAA’s 2019 Inspiration Award for his determination and success in the face of tremendous adversity.
Kristofak was a 14th round draft choice of the Los Angeles Angels.
