By Logan Thomas – Staff Reporter

Junior Brady O’Neil is a outfielder currently batting .310 for the Jonathan Law baseball team. Staff Reporter Logan Thomas interviewed O’Neil about the team and his season. 

Logan Thomas: How have your three years on the Jonathan Law baseball team been so far?

Brady O’Neil: My three years have been pretty eventful and exciting so far. I was able to enter the program at a time with a lot of experienced upperclassmen, and got to experience the State playoffs as a freshman and sophomore. I was able to learn a lot from them and apply their advice into my game on a daily basis. Now as an upperclassmen myself, I’m looking to become a leader and help my team surge into the playoffs and make a deep run.

LT: What are your favorite parts of being on the team?

BO: My teammates and I are all super close and have been on the team for a long time together, so it’s nice to have a group that has been close for a while.

LT: What goals are you going to set for next season?

BO: I want to hit over .450 batting average which will put me in a good spot to make the transition into college. It will also break my dad’s batting average record. He has held that record for 20 years. I also want to make All-State or All-SCC, something my dad also did.

LT: What has baseball taught you?

BO: Baseball has taught me that my mental health is more important than anything and maintaining a good mindset is the key to success.

LT: How do you think the team improved from last year?

BO: We can hit this year – that’s our strong suit. Our defense has improved massively. Our base-running is emerging as a big weapon for us.
