PBR: What schools have expressed interest in you?
HEINEN: Most Iowa Division 3 schools like Buena Vista, Luther, Simpson, and Wartburg. Along with some out of state schools like University of Northwestern in St. Paul Mn. – A few Division 2 schools (Minnesota St.) – A few junior college programs as well (Kirkwood, DMACC in Boone, and Iowa Western) – And a couple NAIA schools have showed interest; Concordia in Nebraska and Morningside in Sioux City, IA.

PBR: Have you taken any visits, or have any visits scheduled in the near future?
HEINEN: I have not taken many visits at this time.  I did take a visit to Kirkwood CC and had great experience.  I’m looking forward to getting on more campuses after Football is over this Fall. I recently scheduled a visit to Morningside as well.

PBR: Are you looking for anything in particular in a school? 
HEINEN: I would like to play baseball at the highest level that I possibly could but I also value academics and want to get the best on and off the field experience.

PBR: What were some of your highlights during your junior year?
HEINEN: The #1 highlight was winning a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP at Urbandale.  Having a successful state tournament offensively and being able to put pressure on the base paths and stealing a few bases was exciting.  Stealing 34 out of 34 bases during my junior year.  I also was 1st team CIML All-Conference, 1st team all-district and 1st team all-state for the Iowa Coaches Association.

PBR: What are your goals for this year?
HEINEN: My number one goal would be to make it back to the State Tournament and see if we can win another State Championship.  I would also like to break the all-time stolen base record for Urbandale High School.  The record is 38 and I feel like I can get that my senior year.  Another goal is to have fun and compete on a day to day basis playing the game I love one last time for Urbandale High School!

PBR: Do you play any other sports?
HEINEN: Football

PBR: What is your ACT and GPA?
HEINEN: Current ACT Score – 26 and GPA 3.9
