Tyler Marshall, a 2013 left-handed hitting 3B from Trinity HS,  has made his commitment to Northern Kentucky University.  We recently caught up with Marshall to discuss his commitment.

PBR: Why did you choose Northern Kentucky? 

Marshall: I chose NKU because I really liked the coaching staff, the campus was great, and it’s a new Division 1 program that has a chance to do something special in the near future. 

PBR: What other schools were you considering? 

Marshall: Dayton, Belmont, EKU, or a possible walk-on spot at UK. 

PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you play? 

Marshall: I think they first saw me play at a tournament in Cincinnati last summer. 

PBR: What role do the coaches expect you to play your freshman year? 

Marshall: Right now they aren’t really sure; they said they wanted to see how the fall went, but I will be ready to do anything they need of me. 

PBR: What would you consider your biggest strength as a player? 

Marshall: My biggest strength is probably my defense. I am very confident with my glove, making big plays is fun. 

PBR: Who has had the biggest impact on your baseball career? 

Marshall: My Dad. He has coached me since I was five years old and has been there for me every step of the way. He has literally taught me everything I need to know about the game. 

PBR: Who do you play for in the summer? 

Marshall: Louisville Panthers 

PBR: What is your most memorable baseball moment? 

Marshall: Winning the USSSA World Series as 10 year olds. Those days were awesome; we even made it on the news. 

PBR: Who is the toughest pitcher you have faced in the state of Kentucky? 

Marshall: Clinton Hollon 

PBR: What are your goals for your senior season at Trinity? 

Marshall: Nothing less than a State Championship
