The 411 on Emmanuel Vera: Emmanuel Vera attended Lehman High school in the Bronx. Wanting to experience the college life away from home, Vera attended NSU-Oklahoma for two years before joining Lehman. Last season, he became one of the team's reliable options on the mound, as he appeared in 12 games, posting a record of 6-4 and recording a team-high 59 strikeouts. He'll be expected to be one of the team's aces in 2009.
