Brett Mulligan RHP / SS / Catholic Memorial, MA / 2024
Rankings StateRank: 75 / POS: 25
“This is super exciting,” the Catholic Memorial High School senior said. “Northeastern has always been one of my top choices and I’ve always wanted to stay closer to home. I was excited to get an offer and I couldn’t turn it down. “It really means a lot,” Mulligan added about being able to go to college just 20 minutes from home. “My parents can come see me play. It means a lot to me that they can come see me play.” Ironically, the strength and conditioning coach at Northeastern, Jason Aguiar, played a major part in Mulligan's improvement in gaining interest from Division I schools. “The summer going into my junior year I was topping at 83,” the 13th-ranked 2024 right-handed pitcher in Massachusetts reflected. “That’s when I went to Jason in the offseason. I put on 15 pounds which got me more explosive and in January I was 85-87. In the spring I was 85-88 and in the summer I was up to 87-89. The main thing was putting on weight and getting stronger.” A camp at Northeastern last January is where interest began in the 5-11 170-pounder. “I did well there but it was nothing serious,” Mulligan related. “After that they wanted to come see me pitch. I went to another camp at Northeastern with my summer travel team and I was 87-89 with a good curve. A week after I went to a team camp at BC and did well again. After that I got an offer from Northeastern and I committed 12 hours later.” Bucknell, Lafayette and UMass-Amherst also had given offers to the 25th-rated senior RHP in New England but Mulligan believes Northeastern is right for him. “It’s a super successful program, a good school and I know some of the players on the team, they come to Jason’s gym,” reasoned Mulligan about his choice to make a commitment to Northeastern. The coaches at the Coastal Athletic Association university in Boston found a lot to like about Mulligan. “The main selling point was my curveball and that I can throw hard,” the 75th-ranked 2024 in New England noted. “They like my arm strength and my athleticism on the mound.” It was less than a year ago that the dream of playing at the next level became realistic according to Mulligan. “I’ve always wanted to play college baseball, it’s always been a goal to play Division I baseball,” the 18-year-old said. “In February is when I picked up my first D-I offer from Lafayette and that’s when it all started. After that I started talking to more D-I schools.” The recruiting process went as planned. “It was pretty smooth,” Mulligan admitted. “It really wasn’t super stressful. Some camps helped me and I went to a PBR event in February with my travel team that helped.” “I can’t wait to go to college,” the 38th-rated senior in Massachusetts said. “On the baseball side I’m looking forward to winning a CAA championship, and on the college side I look forward to enjoying college life in Boston.” Business finance will be the college major for Mulligan, a 4.0 student confident about making an impact at the next level. “I think I can bring them very good quality innings out of the bullpen,” Mulligan said. “I’m a good guy to be around and a good team guy.” |
