Connor McCaffery and Tanner Lohaus are best-known as basketball players, but both of them hope to bolster their college baseball careers by playing in the Iowa Valley League this summer.

McCaffery and Lohaus, who were high school teammates in both sports at Iowa City West, will be teammates again on Red Top in the Iowa Valley League.

Red Top will play most of its home games at Iowa City West this season, beginning Sunday with a doubleheader against Norway at 1 p.m.

McCaffery is pursuing both sports at the University of Iowa, but he got off to a slow start this past year as a true freshman. He played in only four games for the men's basketball team and was granted a medical redshirt waiver following a series of health problems, and he also took a redshirt year with the UI baseball team.

McCaffery, an outfielder, still has four years of eligibility with the Hawkeyes in basketball and baseball.

Lohaus spent two years at the University of Northern Iowa as a member of their basketball team, but he saw little action during that span. He was redshirted as a true freshman in 2016-17 and appeared in only seven games this past season.

Lohaus has left the UNI basketball program and plans to transfer to a different college to play baseball. He was a pitcher and shortstop at Iowa City West, but is viewed primarily as a pitcher now.

McCaffery hit .385 with six home runs and 49 RBIs as a senior at Iowa City West in 2017. Lohaus had a 4-1 record and 4.61 ERA as a senior at Iowa City West in 2016 and hit .276 with 21 RBIs.
