AR:What has been your most memorable moment so far this season?
MM: My most memorable moment so far was our team upsetting Daniel Hand and having a very good team win.
AR: How does being a hitter along with a pitcher change your approach on the mound?
MM: When I am up to bat I am looking for certain pitches and locations and that helps me on the mound because I know what I would be thinking as a hitter in the moment.
AR: What advice would you give to younger players who want to succeed?
MM: Something I would tell younger players is don’t stop practicing and keep doing the work and also never take a game lightly no matter who it is.
AR: What are you most excited (or nervous) about when it comes to playing at the college level?
MM: Something I am very excited about for college baseball is the amount of work I have to put in and how much time I will spend with my new teammates.
AR: Looking back at your high school career, what do you hope your teammates remember most about you, not just as a player, but as a leader?
MM: When I leave Law, I hope the younger players remember me as someone you can come talk to and help out no matter what it is.
