Q&A With Braylen Wimmer 

PBR OK: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? Was it as expected?

Wimmer: The recruiting process for me wasn't necessarily unexpected it all just came really fast. Although it's awesome having schools show interest in you, personally I wasn't the biggest fan of the recruiting process.

PBR OK: You committed soon after participating in this year’s PBR Future Games for Team OK/KS, describe your experience at that event.

Wimmer:The future games was a great experience. Getting to play against some of the best kids around the country while getting exposure to almost all colleges was awesome. 

PBR OK: What do you like most about the college you committed to, and what were the key factors in making your decision?

Wimmer: Besides everything, the one thing that really stood out to me was Coach Kingston and his staff. Obviously my ultimate goal is to play in the major leagues and I think South Carolina is going to help give the best opportunity to do that while competing at a high level and winning games.

PBR OK: Did location or distance from home play a factor in your decision?

Wimmer: A little bit, but with a program like South Carolina, that didn't really play a factor for me.

PBR OK: What other schools were on your short list before you made your final decision?

Wimmer: OSU, Missouri, Missouri State, Kansas

PBR OK: What advice would you give to young baseball players striving to get where you are?

Wimmer: Keep getting better. Too many people just expect results from having a good year in high school. It takes a lot more for schools to show interest in you. It takes commitment and you have to have passion for the game.

PBR OK: Preview your high school season for us. How do you feel your team will be? What are your expectations and goals?

Wimmer: I think we are going to have a pretty good team this year. Obviously the ultimate goal is to win a state championship and I think we have a good shot.

PBR OK: Where do you play in the summer? And what has been your most memorable experience with them?

Wimmer: Swat Academy, and probably winning one of the 5 tool tournaments.
