PBR: Why did you choose DMACC? 
VAN NESS: I need a lot more work on my mechanics and just wanted to gain some more muscle before going on to play at a 4 year school.

PBR: What other schools were you considering? 
VAN NESS: I actually wanted to go to DMACC before they saw me play.

PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you?  How did your relationship develop with him? 
VAN NESS: They saw me pitch in Omaha in one of the PBR tournaments and he really liked what I showed him.

PBR: Do you feel relieved now that the process is over and you can focus on baseball and not deal with everything that goes into picking a school? 
VAN NESS: It feels great to know where I'm going and not have to worry about getting my name out there or going to any other camps.

PBR: Was there one deciding factor that put your choice over the top? 
VAN NESS: I trusted a couple players that have went there and trusted that they were telling the truth.  I have heard nothing but good news about their coaching staff and program so I knew that was the place I wanted to go.

PBR: Who has helped you the most to get to where you are today? 
VAN NESS: My dad and I had a dream that one day I would play college baseball and he has truly inspired me to work hard every day and be the best player I can be.

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? 
VAN NESS: I thought it was kind of difficult because I didn't really put my name out there that well.

PBR: What plans does the coaching staff have in store for you in your freshman season? 
VAN NESS: Just to help me develop my game and improve my mechanics.

PBR: What is your most memorable moment to date? 
VAN NESS: I would say hitting the farthest home run I have ever hit at Creston and playing next to each one of my teammates every single day and knowing they have my back no matter what.

PBR: Who is the best player that you have competed against? 
VAN NESS: I would say Garrett Reisz is the best player and most competitive player I have ever played against.  He always proved that he was better than anyone he played.
