Chandler Cannon, RHP, Oregon Clay, Class of 2016

PBR: Why did you choose Dayton?

Cannon: I chose Dayton because of the coaches. Every time I talked to a coach it felt like they wanted me to be a part of their program more than anything. It played a big factor. Also, my brother was paralyzed in a Dayton hockey game so we are very familiar with the area.

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Cannon: Central Michigan, Ohio, and Liberty.

PBR: Where did the Dayton coaches first see you?

Cannon: TPG, and then they came to every one of my outings the rest of the year.

PBR: What team do you play for in the summer and what is your most memorable moment.

Cannon: I play for Ohio Elite Valentine, and the most memorable experience was coming in with bases loaded at Grand Park no outs, and striking out 3 consecutive GRB Rays batters to hold on to the win.

PBR: How does it feel to be a part of a Division 1 program?

Cannon: It's a dream come true. Knowing I've made my family proud and knowing I have my guardian angels watching over me the whole way.

PBR: What were your stats last spring season?

Cannon: 42 IP, 6-1 , 83 Ks, 1.97 ERA, .178 OBA

PBR: Who is the toughest hitter that you have faced in Ohio?

Cannon: TJ Lake hands down. He hit anything I threw to him.
