PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you? How did your relationship develop with them?
They saw a video of one of my bullpens and asked me to come down for a workout and visit. Our relationship developed through the video, texting, and at my visit.
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?
Yes I do, I waited longer on my decision than most did and I'm happy that I did because I wanted to be sure that I made the best decision for myself.
PBR: Was there one deciding factor that put your choice over the top?
The reputation of winning and moving players on to the next level.
PBR: Who has helped you the most to get to where you are today?
My dad has helped me with everything in the game, he's been my coach since little league all the way up until I went to high school. He's helped me become the player I am today. The guys that I have trained with every day this off season have also helped me make big strides this winter.
PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? Was it easy/difficult?
Initially I thought that I would have a decision made a lot sooner than I did. It was quite a bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be.
PBR: What plans does the coaching staff have in store for you in your freshman season?
They plan on having me come in and compete as a two way player.
PBR: What is your most memorable baseball moment to date?
My first start my sophomore year on Varsity I threw a no hitter.
PBR: Who is the best player that you have competed against?
Cole Stobbe
PBR: Going into your senior season, what are you expectation for you team?
To be a competitive team throughout the year and to be one of the last two teams left at state.
