PBR: Why did you choose Wayne State?
I had a great visit with the coaches and players and loved the campus and athletic facilities.
PBR: What other schools were you considering?
Kansas Wesleyan and Northeast CC
PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you? How did your relationship develop with them?
The coaching staff first saw me play at this years state tournament in Wayne and after than we got in contact and started talking about me coming up for a visit.
PBR: Was there one deciding factor that put your choice over the top?
The family atmosphere that the Wayne State players and coaches provided was unlike any other school and I felt that it was the right fit for me.
PBR: Who has helped you the most to get to where you are today?
My dad. He has instilled the love of the game into me, coached me and taught me everything I know about this game, and has done everything he possibly can to make me better and get me to where I am today,
PBR: Going into your senior season next spring, what expectations do you have for your team?
Coming of a State Championship this summer I have very high expectations for my team this spring, everyone has been doing everything they can to continue to get better and hopefully get to Warner in May.
PBR: What plans does the coaching staff have in store for you in your freshman season?
The coaches have very high expectations for me coming into Wayne next fall and hopefully I can make a impact on the field right away.
PBR: What is your most memorable baseball moment to date?
My most memorable baseball moment to date was winning the 2018 Legion State Championship this summer. The whole tournament was a great experience and hands down the best week of my entire life.
PBR: Who is the best player you have competed against?
Chase Stebbing, it’s unreal how well he mixes his pitches up and keeps you off balance. He always starts on top with first pitch strikes and he has great control of all his pitches so your constantly guessing of what’s coming next.
