What would you like to say to the R Fund donors who have provided for your scholarship and/or facility resources? Words can’t describe how beneficial an indoor facility with a full infield is for our growth. At night, during the winter and bad weather, the Fred Hill facility gives our program a chance to constantly grind and get better while other programs in the Northeast don’t have the same resources. For these reasons, we are eternally grateful, and we thank you.
How has Rutgers and donor support changed your life? I came here as a full-time student, with no intent on playing baseball. If I went to any other school, I’ll never know if I would’ve been given the opportunity to play baseball again. Coming to Rutgers changed my life, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
