• Chose Oregon State because “I was asked to take a tour after I spoke with Coach Canham and Coach Gipson after the PBR Future Games. The visit allowed me to meet some of the players and coaching staff. There was so much to like - it has a midwest feel and the players were very down to Earth. Knowing I had a head coach that played catcher at such a high level solidified my decision.”
