Read more on Eddie's thoughts on Chatham and D3 athletics:

Why D3:

I had first chosen to go to a D2 in West Virginia, and it just wasn't a good fit for me, not only for baseball but for academics as well, so I decided to go into the transfer portal, and I ended up landing on Chatham. Chatham caught my eye with it being in the city with many things to do, as well as the baseball program and the academics. Chatham overall was just the perfect fit for me. 

What do you enjoy most about D3 athletics:

Some of the things I enjoy most about D3 are the relationships that I have gained not only on the baseball field but off of it as well. I enjoy being able to just have fun and play the game that I fell in love with at 4 years old. Being able to just play stress-free and pressure-free is something that I just couldn't get at my old school.
