Pete Schourek-Class of 1987

Pete Schourek dominated his way through his GCM baseball days and was an all-state selection by the time he was drafted by the New York Mets in the second round of the 1987 Major League Baseball amateur draft. He signed a contract on June 11, 1987 and made his major league debut in April of 1991.

"My first time pitching I just remember trying to be so focused on throwing strikes and what I needed to do in order to not be intimidated and nervous," said Schourek.

Schourek's 11-year major league career included time with the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates. In time spent with those teams, he compiled a career 4.59 earned run average, 66-77 record in 176 starts and 288 games in 1,149 innings.
