Evan Brown, OF, Anthony Wayne HS, Class of 2017

PBR: Why did you choose Bowling Green?

Brown:  Bowling Green felt like a home away from home for me. Also I have been playing with fellow commits Dylan Dohanos and Nick Neibauer for a combined 8 years now in summer ball. Another aspect was that I feel Coach Schmitz and his staff will do a great job developing me into a great ball player.

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Brown:  Northwestern, Cornell, Yale, & Harvard. (All for football)

PBR: Where did Coach Schmitz first see you? How did your relationship develop with their coaching staff?

Brown:  Coach Schmitz saw me play in the regional semifinals at BGSU.

PBR: How does it feel to be a part of a Division 1 baseball program?

Brown:  It feels pretty great to know that all my hard work has finally paid off.  

PBR: BG is in your backyard.  How much of a role did distance play in your decision?

Brown:  Being able to go to a school close to home was important to me. I love the idea of giving my family the opportunity to come watch my home games.

PBR: What is your biggest strength as a player and how do you feel that you will help Falcon baseball?

Brown:  My speed is my biggest asset as a ball player. I'll bring an outfielder with a large range who can cover Bowling Green's large outfield. I will also provide power at the plate as well as speed on the bases.  

PBR: Who do you play for in the summer and what was the most memorable experience from this summer?

Brown:  Arsenal Baseball. Playing in the Evoshield Classic down in Atlanta, Georgia. 

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? 

Brown:  I expected the recruiting process to go a little faster, but it was worth the wait. 

PBR: What were your stats this spring season?

Brown:  .343 avg, 21 RBI, 18 SB 2 HR
