Jordan Huggins, OF, Springfield Shawnee HS, Class of 2013

PBR: Why did you choose Sinclair?

Huggins: I chose Sinclair because I really liked the coaching staff and I thought that it would be the best opportunity for me to play and that after 2 years I could go on and play at a 4 year school. 

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Huggins: Tiffin, Thiel, Baldwin Wallace, Mount Union

PBR: Sinclair is known for sending many of their players to 4 year colleges.  How much of a role did that play in your decision to go to Sinclair?

Huggins: It had a huge impact on my decision. 

PBR: Where did the Coach Dintaman first see you?

Huggins: He saw me first at a tournament in Troy last summer. 

PBR: What role do the coaches expect you to play your first year on campus?

Huggins: They expect me to get stronger and compete for a starting spot. 

PBR:  What team do you play for in the summer?

Huggins: Dayton Classics. 

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process?

Huggins: I figured that I wasn't big or strong enough to go D1 so I was mainly thinking about D2, D3, or JUCO and I think Sinclair is the best fit for me. 

PBR: Now that you have your college decision out of the way, what are your individual and team goals going into the spring?

Huggins: One individual goal is to go all state and for a team goal it would have to be to win the league. 

PBR: What were your stats this spring season at Springfield Shawnee?

Huggins: I batted .380 and led the team in stolen bases. 

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

Huggins: It would have to be Cory Wilder or Carter Langdon. They both know how to mix up their pitches and keep you guessing.
