Beyond the Player: Right-handed Pitchers

Welcome to our newest feature, Beyond the Player, where we will get to know more about the players behindΒ the scenes. This week, we learn about the right-handed pitchers, seven of which are new to the program this fall. Also, check out below returning catcher Nolan Wilson's "Mic'd Up Monday" below.

Xander Hamilton - if you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want with you to survive?
"A satellite phone, a bow and arrow and a Brita water filter."


Stephen Restuccio - if you were granted any super power you wanted, what would it be? And why?
"Time Travel, so I can stop the spread of COVID and could have stopped the assassination of Abraham Lincoln."


Samuel Rochard - if you were an animal what would you be? And why?

Anthony Simonelli - if you could choose your age to be forever, what age would you be and why?
"I would be 23 years old. I would've just graduated from college and have the freedom to do whatever I wanted."


Ryan Metz - what kitchen appliance can you not live without? And why?
"My Kenmore Elite 75223 convection oven due to its versatility to both aid me in the preparation of nutrient-rich sustenance, as well as its ability to keep my apartment warm in the winter months."


Jaison Heard - if you could take a vacation anywhere in the world where would you go?
"Mykonos, Greece. Aside from the views, architecture, food, and crystal clear blue water, the scuba diving is unmatched."

"Professional fisherman"


Graham Firoved - if you could play any other sport, what sport would it be?
"If I could play any other sport for the rest of my life it would probably be surfing. I think it would be cool to go to the beach every day for your 'job'."


Jackson Ritchey - if you had to work but didn't need the money, what would you choose to do?
"I would work in the pro shop at a nice golf course because it is a relaxing atmosphere and I could play a lot of free golf."


Jenner Kehe - what is your favorite thing to do outside of baseball?
"When I'm not on the baseball field I love to play ping pong, and attempt to play the game of golf."


Mike Grupe - if you could eat one item from your high school cafeteria menu what would it be?
"Definitely the pizza poppers. They are like mozzarella cheese sticks but with sauce inside them and they were unreal."


Kyle McKernan - if you were to start a collection of one kind of item, what would it be and why?
"I would start a collection of money. I would look for anything from 1's to 100's and everything in between. I chose money because if I end up collecting a lot of it, then I will have a great collection and it is useful to me as well."
