Collin's Baseball History
Collin's thoughts on the Season: "This is going to be a great season. We have talent and good chemistry. We can do something special and we are going to have fun doing it."
Coach Gjormand on Collin: " Collin is a sophomore who was brought up at the end of his freshman season. He is very athletic and was the starting catcher on the junior varsity last season. Colin is a very gifted baseball player who has the potential to do great things for us over the next three years and at the next level. He is a strong-armed catcher with a quick release, and his athleticism also gives us the opportunity to utilize him in the outfield. He has very good power at the plate, and as he gets comfortable with his timing and utilizes the entire field, he could contribute early and often to this year’s success. This kid could be an absolute stud, but only time will tell."
