• “The reason I chose OSU is because of the outstanding coaches and the relationships I built with them throughout the recruiting process. I was also very impressed with the facilities - they are second to none. While attending many games in California it was amazing to see the amount of fans and alumni that follow OSU baseball. The final reason is because of the family atmosphere that the coaches and players show on a daily basis. OSU has tradition, facilities, coaches, promotes family and loyalty, and expects to be Pac-12 and national champions every year. There isn’t a better place.”
