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] In 2002, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[3] On March 12, 2003, Florida State announced that LaMacchia, then a junior, would be undergoing Tommy John Surgery.
