In this episode of StonerCast, we sit down with Columbus Clingstones catcher Adam Zebrowski for a deep dive into his journey on and off the field. During his senior season at St. John Fisher University, Adam put together one of the greatest campaigns in Division III baseball history—hitting .500 with 20 home runs and 70 RBI—and was named Division III National Player of the Year by both D3Baseball.com and the American Baseball Coaches Association in 2021.
We talk about his path from that unforgettable season to being drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 13th round of the MLB Draft, and how his career has continued to grow in Columbus. Adam shares his thoughts on the inaugural season of the Columbus Clingstones, the atmosphere at Synovus Park, and the passionate Columbus fanbase that’s quickly become part of his story. He also reflects on the excitement of closing out the season with a promotion to Triple-A Gwinnett, the final step before Atlanta.
This is an inside look at the grind, the glory, and what it truly means to play behind the mask.

In this episode of StonerCast, we turn the spotlight to Gary and Colleen Zebrowski, proud parents of Columbus Clingstones catcher Adam Zebrowski. From their roots in Upstate New York to the bright lights of professional baseball, the Zebrowskis share what it’s been like to raise a son whose dream was always bigger than the backyard.
They open up about the emotional moment they learned Adam had been drafted in the 13th round of the 2021 MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves, the challenges of being far from him during the grind of the Minor League season, and how they’ve stayed connected and supportive from miles away. Gary and Colleen also reflect on their impressions of Synovus Park, the welcoming Columbus fan base, and the pride they feel watching Adam’s journey from Little League to pro ball.
It’s a heartfelt, behind-the-scenes look at baseball through a parent’s eyes—equal parts sacrifice, support, and love.
