Fleury, who was a three-year letterman from 2007-09 and a fourth-round pick (No. 119 overall) by Cincinnati, will assist with the Tar Heel batters in addition to focusing on the catchers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are excited to have Mark back in Chapel Hill and on our staff for this season,&#8221; Fox said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a tribute to the kind of person he is that he wanted to come back to school and finish his degree. I think he will be a great addition to our program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fleury had his finest season at Carolina as a junior in 2009, batting .309 with 12 home runs and 60 RBIs while handling a pitching staff that included future Major Leaguers Matt Harvey, Adam Warren and Alex White. The 2009 Tar Heels finished 48-18 and advanced to a fourth consecutive College World Series.<\/p>\n<p>As a professional, Fleury advanced to Double-A, with his most recent stop coming with the AA Arkansas Travelers in the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former standout catcher and 2009 MLB Draft pick Mark Fleury will serve as an undergraduate assistant for the 2013-14 school year, North Carolina head baseball&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79,80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-stories","category-north-carolina-tar-heels","wpcat-79-id","wpcat-80-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6011"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6013,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6011\/revisions\/6013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
