said . “ One thing that really stood out to me this year is his dedication to being a leader , and I think that helped us play during the year because he took on the role , whether it was being on our baseball committee or being part of our big brother system that we did within the team . He really bought into that .

or the lows get too low . I think that really allowed him to be a leader for us throughout the entire year , ( and ) I ’ m proud of him for taking the next step . He is someone who did it himself , and anytime you see a family that has put in the work and done things right , it ’ s great to see Nate go on to the next level , take that next step and realize the dream that some of us had when we were little playing in the backyard . I ’ m proud for him and happy for the family , and I ’ m excited to see what happens in the next four years .”

He is a tough competitor , and we hope that Nathan continues his success at the University of Mount Union .”
