Commitment Corner: 2024 3B|RHP Jonah Richardson (Boiling Springs)

TELL US MORE...

Tell us about your commitment. Why did you decide on your school? 

Academically the University of Delaware had everything I was looking for. The campus and student population were a size I felt I could fit in. The living and food options couldn’t be better. My major, Criminal Justice, is well structured and allows options for selecting a minor. The energy of the all new baseball coaching staff, combined with top notch athletic facilities made me feel that I was wanted.

The offseason is upon us. Tell us a little about your off-season training:

Is there an off season??? I have weight training 5 days a week, with arm care routines all 7 days, hitting and fielding at least 4 days a week, and speed/agility 3 days a week. I am very lucky not to have a real job, my focus is on making distinguished honor roll and getting better everyday at baseball.

Baseball is a game built on adversity & failure. Who is your biggest influence in the game that has helped you handle the ups and downs?

My dad keeps it real. I am self motivated and self critical, but he brings both the highs and lows into perspective. He reminds me to always stay humble and to always compete.

Best player you ever shared the field with and why? 

Tegan Kuhns, RHP 2024, I had the opportunity to play with him and also against him. He is filthy on the mound and respects the game.

How has your experience been with Prep Baseball Report?

 PBR Pennsylvania has been a huge part of my commitment to play D1 baseball. The PBR staff has put myself and my teammates in the spotlight through social media, their coaching connections, and by promotion for their events. Always putting the player first it's easy to connect with the PBR staff and not just be a number on a jersey.

Most memorable PBR event & why?

2022 Future Games period. No other event puts you in front of 300+ coaches and gives you as many reps to show your skills. The main reason I would say its memorable is because of the amount of talent I was able to play with, every player was legit.
