WHY MINNESOTA: "I chose Minnesota because of the leadership that we have at the top. Coach McDevitt instills in his players on a daily basis a passion and drive for greatness. He repeatedly states that mistakes happen, and that giving ourselves grace is paramount to future success, while simultaneously pushing us to achieve the highest level of success we can, as individuals and as a team. As someone who has played for other coaches at this level, this is a unique mindset and an attribute that makes his players want to follow him. Coach Crawford is a top pitching mind in this game. The ability to work day in and day out with him, not only to develop as a pitcher, but to develop as a human, was an opportunity I could not pass up on. His love for the game, and subsequent care for each player he comes in contact with, radiates throughout the bullpen. This coaching staff will achieve great things here at The U, and I want to be a part of it."
