PBR: Why did you choose the school you did?

Posch: I felt really comfortable on my visit. Right away I could see myself going to school in Omaha. I liked the athletic and academic facilities. I built a strong relationship with Coach Porter and felt like I would develop well within their program.

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Posch: I was considering a couple other D1 and D2 schools.

PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you? How did your relationship develop with him?

Posch: Coach Porter contacted me this summer. We kept in contact and he made the drive from Omaha to the Twin Cities to watch me pitch this fall. I was then on campus for a visit two weeks later.

PBR: Do you feel relieved now that the process is over and you can just focus on baseball and not deal with everything that goes into picking a school?

Posch: Absolutely.  I can relax and enjoy my senior year.  I am excited to see what my future in Omaha holds.

PBR: Was there one deciding factor that put your choice over the top?

Posch: UNO's facilities were great, and coaches were very welcoming. They are in the process of building a new baseball field for the 2020 season, which would be my freshman year. They also have a brand-new College of Business Administration building, and I plan on majoring in business.

PBR: Who has helped you the most to get to where you are today?

Posch: My family.  I have the most supportive and loving family. I can't thank them enough for the travel and time spent to put me in the best position to succeed. I also want to thank Elite Sports Advising, Starters, and my fall coach, Augie Rodriguez. I appreciate the endless support and motivation to help me reach my goals.

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? Was it easy/difficult?

Posch: When I was an underclassman, I was told that if I was good enough that college coaches would find me, and I didn't need to waste my time on showcases and travel ball. I quickly found out that wasn't the case. I greatly benefited from the PBR showcases I attended and playing for the Starters this summer. Although it was stressful and repetitive at times, the recruiting process paid off.

PBR: What plans does the coaching staff have in store for you in your freshman season?

Posch: The coaching staff's plan is to bring me in and compete for innings my freshman year.

PBR: What is your most memorable baseball moment to date?

Posch: Winning the sub-state and making it to the MN State Legion tournament this past summer.

PBR: Who is the best player that you have competed against?

Posch: Dylan Tebrake who now pitches for Creighton, kid is a stud.
