PBR:  Where did Tiffin first see you compete?

Powell: They first saw me play at a tournament in Columbus. 

PBR: Coach Wilkins has brought a lot of excitement to the Dragon baseball program.  What are some of the skills that you will bring to the table Tiffin?

Powell: I will bring my bat to the table. I feel like this is my biggest asset as a player. 

PBR: You are considered a two-way prospect, what kind of role do the coaches expect you to play your first year on campus?

Powell: I think my first year on campus I will have more of a DH role because there's a senior there right now, but after that I should slide over to that first baseman role.

PBR: Who has had the biggest impact on you as a baseball player?.

Powell: My dad has had the biggest impact on me as a baseball player. He pushed me to be everything I am today, and put me in the best situations to get exposure.
