PBR: Why did you choose the school you did?

Fink: Augustana has a fantastic baseball program ran by high quality coaches. I see myself fitting in well with the players that are there and the coaching staff. I am also going to be playing on the basketball team at Augie and because of the relationship I've built with both coaching staffs we see that this could work.

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Fink: As far as baseball, the only school I could see myself being a dual-athlete was at Augustana. The rest of the schools in my consideration were for basketball purposes, although I was contacted by numerous different baseball programs.

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

Fink: My brother, Alex Fink, played baseball at Augustana for four years so the coaches were able to build a relationship with me at a young age. Current shortstop at Augie, Sam Baier, was one of my former teammates so they were also able to watch me at a young age.

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?

Fink: A big part of the reason I committed so early was because I wanted to just focus on my high school sports my senior year. Knowing that Augustana was the perfect fit, I had no difficulties committing early.

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

Fink: Winning and culture mean everything for me when I was picking a school. Augustana just recently won a National Title and have great pieces and culture coming back. It was really a no brainer for the baseball aspect.

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

Fink: As far as baseball, my brother Alex has given me a lot of advice on how to deal with certain situations. He is also the person that gave me my competitive edge which I think is my best quality.

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

Fink: The recruiting process was difficult at times, but I had a great support staff around me that constantly reminded me how blessed I was to be in this situation.

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

Fink: I am going to put on muscle and add velocity to my fastball. I am also going to work on better controlling my curveball and maintaining my change-up.

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

Fink: Winning the State Championship in 2016.

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

Fink: Nick Altermatt
