Uncommitted Spotlight: Future Has Changed For Lakeland's Ball

Aaron Ball RHP / Lakeland, MI / 2018

WHITE LAKE - Nine months ago, Aaron Ball was resigned to the fact college baseball was not going to be part of his future.

Times have changed … more than once.

“I had thought about college baseball until I was 13, but the idea kind of fell off,” said the Lakeland senior. “Playing baseball was not a dream of mine nine months ago, it was just something I liked to do. But then everything fell into place and I fell in love with it again. I grew six inches and it became my passion again.”

A right-handed hurler, Ball was throwing 81-82 in early fall and drew interest from Northwood.

“In late September I took a visit there and liked it,” explained the 6-2 200-pounder. “It was the best option at the time.”
