O'Rear is a basketball player at UNI.
He started for their college basketball team. They beat Kansas this year in the tournament to get to the sweet sixteen.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
Also interesting that he didn't pitch this season due to UNI having no team this year.
This will not change until the Reds win the World Series.......

There was also this that came up when I googled Mr. O'Rear.
I nominate his nickname to be Balls. Balls O'Rear.
Or Stingy. Stingy O'Rear.

Ha! UNI apparently dropped its baseball program after 2009. The article mentioned that Lucas would like to use his remaining season of basketball eligibility- but the Reds could probably work out a deal with him.
I believe that I heard someone call O'Rear an over-sized Leprechaun. Fitting name if he is the same UNI player I am thinking of.
Reds 14th round pick:
Dan Wolford, RHP, Cal
Oh the basketball player.
Wonder what they see in Wolford. He has really bad numbers.

My guess: big fastball, bad control.
He isn't signed to play football any where as far as I can tell. Just a preferred walk on.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Arico reminds me of Donnie Joseph.
