Lingle: No, distance from home is not a factor.

PBR:  Where have college coaches been able to see you?

PBR:  What position do you anticipate playing in college?
Lingle: I anticipate being a pitcher at the college level.

PBR:  What is your biggest strength as a player and how do you feel that will help your team?
Lingle: I keep a cool head and don't not get rattled easily.  I make my pitches, throw strikes and let the defense take care of the rest.  I believe that I help the team by not letting my emotions get too high or too low.

PBR:  Who do you play for in the summer and what was your most memorable experience from this past summer?
Lingle: I play for the Hummelstown Legion Post 265, and I play for Hampton Travel.  My most memorable game would be getting the start in our first Regional Playoff game against Ephrata.  I threw eight innings, 90 pitches, 5 hits, no earned runs, and we got the win.

PBR:  What is your current GPA?
Lingle: My non-weighted GPA is a 3.2 on a 4.0 scale

PBR:  How has Prep Baseball Report aided you in the process of choosing a college?
Lingle: The coaches have been extremely helpful at the PBR events in giving me insight on many different colleges.  PBR has provided me events to showcase my talents and the ability to possibly reach my goals.
