PBR: Have you taken any visits, or have any visits scheduled in the near
future? If so, what schools, and how recently?

Palmer: I have been invited now for visits and will do so this fall. Id rather not
comment on specifics until those plans become firm.

PBR: Are you looking for anything in particular in a school? (Example: high
academics, certain academic program, local, etc.)

Palmer: Right now, I am uncertain of the degree path in college. I would like a
school that focuses as much on academics as they do baseball. To
play baseball in college would be a privilege.

PBR: How did you do your junior year? What were your high school statistics?
And how did your team do?

Palmer: Our team had a good year. I had a good year. School ball is different
than our Travel Team. Its more about playing with all the guys you
grew up with and more about the upperclassmen. Both are good
opportunities just to play the game.

PBR: What are you goals for your senior season?

Palmer: Win. Play hard. Have fun.

PBR: What travel team do you play for? Are you playing fall ball with a team?

Palmer: I play for KC Prodigy and yes I will play fall.

PBR: Do you play any other sports?

Palmer: I played all sports (Football, Basketball, Baseball) when I was younger
and started focusing on baseball my sophomore year.

PBR: What are your ACT and GPA?

Palmer: 2.5 GPA and I will be taking the ACT in September. I have high
academic goals for my senior year.
