Kyle on his decision to choose Concordia: “That (family aspect) obviously has to play in a little bit and the foundation Coach Dupic is building with everybody here and the success they’ve been having. It just goes up and up every year. It’s something I would love to be part of and something I’m excited to join.”
Kyle on his brothers: “I look up to them a lot. Casey was always the one that I got compared to because we were, quote on quote, the more athletic of the other two. We always had those comparisons, but I’ve been compared to all my brothers at a different point. All four of us would go hit in the cages back when we all were playing. Bryce would throw BP and would be teaching us all this stuff he’s learning and figuring out how to implement it. It’s been a journey with them and it’s super nice to have that support system and benefit to your baseball career.”
