- Chose Illinois “because it felt like the best place for me to keep developing both as a baseball player and as a person. The coaching staff is awesome and made it clear that they have a plan to help all of their players reach their full potential. Illinois competes in a great conference against high-level competition, which is exactly the kind of environment I was looking for. On top of that, the academics, facilities, and overall culture made it feel like a place where I could succeed on and off the field. After visiting campus and getting to know the program, it was an easy decision to see myself continuing my career there.”
