It's that time of year for some of us. Seasons winding down in the next few weeks, seniors graduating, college selections/career choices being made. I personally play my last baseball game a week from today. I'm not ready to be done yet. My 4 years of college ball have flown by way too fast. Sadly, like we all do at some point, I must move on. I was just lucky to get the extra 4 years to play.
I can't do so without saying a few things before I make a shift in my role on a baseball team. I don't post here to often, so this may seem random to you all.
I need to thank you all here on the boards for being a part of getting me to where I'm at today, both as a ballplayer and a person. I've learned way more reading posts here than I could ever have imagined when I stumbled upon the boards as a junior in high school. Even though I play d3 ball, I learned so much about the recruiting process that helped me get ready to play college ball. Other discussions on the boards have helped teach me just how to play the game the way it should be played. I hope that if anybody here were to watch me play they'd say I'm doing it right.
I move on not knowing what my future really holds for me. All I know right now that playing the game is not included. Coaching it is, though, as I move on to coach in the Florida Collegiate Summer League in a few weeks. It is strange to think that the playing days are just about over. Really doesn't seem real yet. I guess now I just get to be like many of us here. Observe and help others. I only hope that I can put back into this game what so many have helped me get out of it over the last 16 years.
