My dad played baseball and my uncle and pretty much everybody, so I was brought up early, at a young age, playing baseball.
That Super Regional was unbelievable for my confidence and really makes me believe that I can compete at this level. Getting comfortable and being out there are what really helped me out.
They kind of see me as the little goofy guy wearing glasses, but they love seeing it. I have tried contacts and I don't know what it is, but I just don't see as well.
The last couple of days I have been pulling out in front of everything. We're definitely on top of our game now and ready for the next one.
I realized we had a lot of openings and a lot of guys left, so that was an opportunity for me to get out there and do what I could.
I definitely popped it up. I hit it decent and there was a little breeze there, so I got lucky.
The crowd's gone wild, and I'm like no way did that just happen.
