Persistence, Hard Work Pays Off For Todys

Brent Todys C / 3B / Westerville North, OH / 2016

WESTERVILLE - The outcome of the Major League Baseball Draft can even affect those not eligible to be selected.

Brent Todys found that out in a good way and the college junior will now be playing for his dream school.

After decommitting from Evansville in April, the 2016 Westerville North grad was looking for a future home to continue his baseball dream.

“I was having a better year than expected,” explained the Andrew College sophomore in reference to changing his mind about going Division I at Evansville. “At the time I thought it would be the best opportunity for me and didn’t think I would get other looks. It was hard to do that (decommit), but I was able to do it with confidence and support of my coaches and my parents. After I decommitted I kept doing better and better.”

So much so that an assistant coach at Andrew asked Todys if there was any place he was specifically interested in playing at after his second season concluded at the junior college.
“I said Ohio State,” Todys reflected. “He sent (assistant) coach (Chris) Holick a text and they responded back that they were not looking for a catcher. They had (Jacob) Barnwell and two incoming catchers (Keegan Fish and Mitchell Smith), so they thought they were set.”
