“I started college at a Division I school and tried out for the baseball team, but they wanted me to red shirt. It looked like it would take a couple of years to get any playing time. I decided to come to Principia because I knew I’d have a chance to be part of the team on the field, not just in the clubhouse. It was a great decision. I was able to start and have an impact right away and never felt like anyone questioned my ability just because I was a freshman. I was welcomed and accepted as part of the team immediately.”
