Q&A with Mitch Haythorn

Q: You attended the Junior Future Games in Georgia. When you left the event and headed back to Colorado, what was your overall impression of the event?

Haythorn: After attending the Junior Future games, I realized how much better I need to get. I told myself that in order to compete at that level, I need to work harder than I have before.

Q: What has the recruiting process been like for you now and before the Junior Future Games?

Haythorn: Before the Junior Futures games I had little to no type of recruitment. After the games, because of social media, I began gaining more following from coaches. Now, because of the publicity from PBR it has opened more doors for me in the recruiting process. 

Q: What was it like playing with some of the top talent in the nation at at the Junior Future Games?

Haythorn: Playing with the top players across the country during the event really opened my eyes. Not only did I realized how much harder I need work, it also gave me motivation and confidence knowing that I could compete at this level of baseball. 

Q: What are you most excited about for the ’22 high school season?

Haythorn: Beginning the 22’ high school season I am most excited about repeating as state champions and being able to be around my teammates.

Q:  Who had the biggest impact on your baseball career?

Haythorn: Many coaches, teammates and family have impacted my baseball career in many ways. If I had to narrow it down I would most definitely say Mike Anderson and my dad, because they have been there for me for a very long time.

Q: Lastly, out of all the PBR events you have attended in your career, what has PBR meant to you during your time playing baseball in Colorado?

Haythorn: PBR has meant so much to me and not only helped my recruitment process but my baseball experience as a whole. Once I began attending PBR events I changed so much as a baseball player.
