PBR: Do you feel relieved now that the process is over and you can just focus on baseball and not deal with everything that goes into picking a school?

DEGRAMMONT: There was not one specific factor; all the factors were great.

PBR: Who has helped you the most to get to where you are today? 
DEGRAMMONT: Harvey Martin, pitching coordinator at Minnesota Mash. He has overall changed me as a person. I would also like to thank my Dad and Mom for their consistent love and support to get me to where I am today. All of the Minnesota Mash coaches have had the most impact and I wouldn't be here without them. Justin Musil with Elite Sports Advising has helped me a ton as well.

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? Was it easy/difficult? 
DEGRAMMONT: I really didn't know what to expect honestly but Justin Musil helped me a ton with the process and helped me get through it.

PBR: What is your most memorable baseball moment to date?

PBR: Who is the best player that you have competed against?
DEGRAMMONT: The best player I have played against was Randy Bednar, he plays with MSI Bubba, and I faced him in Georgia at a tournament.
