Inside the Recruitment: '15 RHP Kevin Brzuziewski commits to Hiram

PBR: Why did you choose Hiram?

Brzuziewski: Hiram was the best fit for me based on academics (great business program), athletics (love the coaches and facilities), and location (far enough away to live on campus, close enough for my family to attend games).

PBR:  Where did the coaches first see you compete and how did your relationship develop with the rest of the coaching staff?

PBR: What role does the coaching staff expect you to play during your first year on campus?

Brzuziewski: I will be competing for a spot in the starting pitching rotation freshman year, as well as competing for some infield time. 

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

Brzuziewski: My parents 

PBR: Who do you play for in the summer and what was your most exciting experience playing summer ball?
