PBR: Are you looking for anything in particular in a school? (Example: high academics, certain academic program, local, etc.) 

Kennett: I’m planning to pursue a major in Medicine.  In regards to the baseball side, I’m looking for a program with a winning tradition that can also develop my skill set so I can be the best player I can be and would prefer to play in a warm region.

PBR: How did you do your junior year? What were your high school statistics? And how did your team do?
