Michael Ian William Agostini Gangwish, an Albuquerque, N.M. native, signed with the Otters for his first professional team in 2020. The catcher played college baseball at the Colorado School of Mines and closed his career as Mines' all-time home runs and RBI leader. He also received numerous all-region, all-conference, and all-america honors. For his college career, Gangwish batted .354 in 162 starts and 174 games played, while scoring 153 runs, hitting 45 doubles and 46 home runs, recording 186 RBIs, and posting a .426 on-base percentage. Defensively, Gangwish had 153 assists and sported a .983 fielding percentage. One interesting fact about Gangwish is that he does everything right-handed except swing a baseball bat, hitting from the left-handed batter's box.
