My favorite memory from the season is ... traveling to Springfield as a team for a weekend of baseball.
My coach is always on me about ... rushing when I pitch.
The reason I chose my number is ... it was the only large uniform we had left when I was a freshman, so I stuck with it.
The best pitch to hit is ... a high fastball.
I deal with failure in baseball by ... having a short memory and not carrying it out on the field.
Baseball is ... my favorite way to spend my time and my future.
