PBR: What aspect of your game do you believe needs the most improvement?

PBR: What are your goals for the upcoming 2012 season?
Westin: I want to keep improving from year to year. The main goals I have are to get a good feel for my swing and play defense to the best of my ability. Hopefully I can make some positive contributions to help HSE go as far as possible in the post season.
PBR: You played for the Indiana Bulls Organization this summer, how do you feel playing for them helped you?
Westin: Having moved from Colorado a little over a year ago, I have been extremely blessed ending up at an organization like The Bulls. Bulls coaches; Dan Held, Quinn Moore, Jered Moore, and Tony Cookerly have all played vital roles in my development as a player, as well as an individual. The Bulls are a top rate organization and have been extremely instrumental in my recruiting process. I can not thank them enough for everything they have done for me so far. There is not a better organization in Indiana to be a part of.
PBR: What is your fondest memory or highlight from your 2011 baseball season (High School or Summer)?
