Why Northwestern: "Northwestern is a great opportunity to develop as a person and baseball player. I wanted to have the opportunity to pursue both my academic and athletic dreams. Getting to know the coaching staff made the decision easy for me as I knew coming here I would have an opportunity to compete as a freshman and be part of building a great program."
