The Commitment Corner spotlights those Maryland high school student-athletes who have made their decision on where to play their college baseball. This is a unique opportunity to get to know several of the states top talent and gain insight into their recruitment process and ultimately what made them choose the school they did.  Today we speak with: Grayson Lawrence

 

 

COMMITMENT: KENYON COLLEGE

 

PBR MD:  List any awards / accolades you received in high school.

• Dean's List, Honor Roll, Cum Laude Society

PBR MD:  Why did you choose Kenyon College?

• Excellent academics and had the opportunities I was looking for on the field.

PBR MD:  What do you plan to major in at Kenyon College?

• Economics and Political Science

PBR MD:  What are some of your goals you would like to achieve at Kenyon College?

• High grades and a low ERA and WHIP, Conference All-Academic team

PBR MD:  What are your plans this summer to get ready for school?

• Workouts four days a week, occasional yoga and other stretching and movement classes. I am pitching in the Maryland Collegiate Baseball League for the Putty Hill Panthers in a relief role so that I can become more comfortable for that role if needed to do so at Kenyon. 

PBR MD:  Are you playing summer baseball? If yes, who are you planning to play for?

• Yes, Putty Hill Panthers

PBR MD:  What other schools recruited you?

• Oberlin, St. Mary's College of Maryland, Union College, HCC, Wilson College

PBR MD:  What was your favorite part about the recruiting process?

• Honestly, meeting with coaches and talking to them about baseball was awesome. When you're out at showcases and the coaches are there for a singular purpose, that can stink, but meeting with them in their office, or out on the field watching a fall practice, when they're comfortable and they want you to go to their school, that's a great feeling. You can connect with the coaches on a more personal level and pick up insights you wouldn't otherwise get.
