Tanner Egger C / SS / Avon, OH / 2019

AVON - Tanner Egger remembers watching the College World Series when he was younger.

“The catcher stood out to me,” Egger reflected. “I’m about looking good and feeling good and the catcher always looked the coolest. Being that now … it’s really cool to me.”

The opportunity to be behind the plate at the next level materialized for Egger with a recent college commitment to Bowling Green.

“It’s always been a school that I desired to go to,” noted the Avon senior. “My dad went there and my brother went there. Two years ago I went to a winter camp and a fall camp there. Then they saw me at a couple showcases in the summer and knew who I was. They had an interest and the fact that I kept talking to them and showing desire to go there I think really helped me out.”

The Top Prospect Games was one of five PBR events Egger attended in 2018.

“It really helped me to do that many,” Egger explained. “I improved at each one and it helped me being in front of so many coaches. PBR helped in being comfortable and in relating to other players like me trying to get exposure.”
