Statistics
Commitment: Penn State
PBR: Tell us all about your recruitment process, when it started, and why you decided to commit to Penn State
Conahan: I was committed to the College of Charleston but due to coaching changes I decided that attending COFC was not the best opportunity for my family and I. I am extremely thankful to have had all the love I did the second time around. Penn State is an incredible place with arguably the best journalism school in the country and that is what I plan to study there. I wanted to play in a power 5 conference and Penn State gave me everything that I wanted.
Conahan: I think my bat will be my biggest strength at the next level because that has been my tool that has carried my baseball career so far. I also think my versatility and being able to play multiple positions will help me.
PBR: What’s your No. 1 priority going into the Winter in terms of getting prepared for next spring?
Conahan: My number one priority is getting stronger and more flexible, I want to be able to get my 60 down to a 6.5 by the spring and to do that I need to get more flexible and stronger. I also want to get my arm healthy after my procedure this past summer.
PBR: Who is your biggest influence when it comes to playing the game of baseball?
Conahan: My brother is my biggest influence, he was the one who introduced me to the game and was always hard on me to make sure I was doing my best. He really helped me develop into a player and taught me to not give up on anything in life. My Mom and Dad have also played an incredible part in my baseball life and I appreciate their sacrifices for me. My Grandpa has always been my number one fan and for that I thank him, I also thank him for teaching me to be a man and always do things 100%.
PBR: Prep Baseball Report’s No. 1 goal is to provide players with an unrivaled platform filled with next-level exposure through events and multi-media avenues. What’s your experience been with us?
Conahan: PBR is in my opinion the best venue you could ever go to. The future games opened doors for me that were not open until that point. I had tons of Coaches callings hours after the event from most power 5s. The Future Games is a must go to if you ever get invited, no doubt the best event I have ever played in.
