Inside the Recruitment: 2018 RHP/1B Riley Perlich Commits to Wright State

Perlich: One of the main reasons I chose Wright State is because of the relationship I built with the coaching staff, especially pitching coach Alex Sogard. Their baseball program has a great tradition and overall were the perfect fit for me.  
 

Perlich: They first saw me compete last summer in Nashville, Tennessee. 

Perlich: I was also considering Indiana, Michigan State, and Eastern Michigan.

 

Perlich: At first I did not know what to expect about the recruiting process, but it turned out to be a great experience because I was able to get a feel for several colleges and their programs.

Perlich: I was looking for a successful program where I would have an opportunity to make an impact right away. I was also looking for a program that would develop me as a person and a player. 

Perlich: The recruiting process started to heat up for me this past summer, especially after the PBR Future Games. 

Perlich: I had aspirations of playing baseball at a very young age. I realized I was a college caliber player after I started receiving interest during my freshman year.

PBR: Who is the best player you have faced in Indiana, and why?

Perlich: The best player I have faced in Indiana is Skylar Szynski from Penn High School. Not only could he throw in the mid 90's, he could rake too.

Perlich: I would tell them to work as hard as they can and keep a positive attitude.
 

Perlich: The most memorable moment would be pitching in the sectional championship game last year. 

Perlich: I have high expectations for our team this year. We have many returning players with a strong pitching staff. My expectation is for us to win a state championship. 

Perlich: I play for the Summit City Sluggers. My most memorable experience so far is winning the Cincy Flames World Series Tournament our 15U year.
