Marc R. Lamacchia (born 27 March 1982) is a former professional baseball player.
Lamacchia played high school baseball at East Lake High School in Tarpon Springs, Florida before accepting a partial scholarship to play college baseball at Florida State University.[1] LaMacchia was the starter and the winning pitcher in the title game of the 2002 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament.[2] On March 12, 2003, Florida State announced that LaMacchia, then a junior, would be undergoing Tommy John Surgery. Although Florida State announced that he would return to the team,[3] he was selected by the Texas Rangers in the 21st round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft and elected to sign. He played in the Rangers' farm system until 2006 and in the Florida Marlins' system from 2006–2008.[4] Lamacchia also was a member of the Italian national team at the 2006 World Baseball Classic.[5] In 2010, he pitched in the Italian Baseball League for Nettuno.[4]
