HERBER: I was also considering St. Cloud State, University of North Dakota, and St. Thomas.

PBR: Where did they first see you? How did your relationship develop with the coaching staff?

HERBER: I expect to go in as a freshman and keep working hard and earn some playing time.

PBR: Who has had the biggest impact on you as a baseball player?

HERBER: Dad for sure. My dad spent many years catching me and always trying to help me whenever he could.

PBR: What have you worked on/ improved since last year?

HERBER: This off-season I’m working on improving my control of my off-speed pitches and also trying to get stronger and improve the velocity on my fastball.

HERBER: Sam Hentges from Mounds View.

PBR: What are your thoughts on the recruiting process? Any advice for future players in your position.
