FAIRFIELD, Ct. - “I didn’t think I was a city guy.”

That thought has changed for Tyler Harmony after making a college commitment to Northeastern University.

“The first time they saw me play was in the summer,” the Canterbury High School junior reflected. “I played pretty well and they contacted me on Aug. 1 and told me to come to a camp. I went and had really good numbers.”

Nearly two months later, on Oct. 8, the 17-year-old went on a visit to the college located in Boston, 21/2 hours from home.

“I really liked it,” Harmony said, mentioning that the idea of not being a city guy has changed. “I went to a practice and there was so much team energy. I liked what they had to offer, the culture and how the program is run. I think I can get to the next level by going there.”

St. John’s, James Madison and Sacred Heart also expressed interest in the left-handed hitting middle infielder, whose initial college interest came from Northeastern before other coaches also started to reach out.

“When I was younger I thought about college baseball and then I started pushing myself at 15U,” Harmony explained. “I saw something and started to work hard to make it a reality.

“PBR helped a lot,” Harmony added. “The really big tournaments got me exposure and the Procase got me more exposure. All that helped get me recruited.”

Travel coach Maxx Catapano is also credited by Harmony with playing a big role in getting on the radar with Northeastern, which noticed a lot of promise in the 6-0 170-pounder.

“They like my bat-to-ball skills, my speed, the way I play the game hard and my plus arm,” Harmony noted about the coaches with the Coastal Athletic Association university.

In the eyes of Harmony, coming from Connecticut is a plus when it comes to the style of player he is in the sport.

“In the northeast you’re working every day,” Harmony explained. “In the south they’re playing every day outside. In the northeast there are tougher guys, the northeast guys have grit.”

There is more than tenacity that the high school junior believes he can provide the Northeastern baseball program.

“I’ll bring a winning attitude,” Harmony said. “I want to win and get to the next level. I’ll push everyone to make the team better.”

Harmony, who carries a 3.45 GPA and is uncertain about a college major, was ecstatic when a commitment became a reality.

“I was in the dorm room study hall when coach Glavin called and gave me an offer,” related Harmony about receiving the phone call to remember from the head coach at Northeastern, Mike Glavin. “We were all hyped. It was so much fun. It’s awesome to reach the next level.”

It has Harmony with high expectations about his future.

“I’m looking forward to getting good academics,” Harmony concluded. “It’s why I went to Northeastern, as well as getting to the next level. That’s why I went there.”
