Catching Up with Brock Weirather (2019 Dock Spider) from Grinnell College<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) What was the difference between the Midwest Conference (your college conference) and the Northwoods League?<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest difference was definitely the competition. I was playing against great baseball players from all over the country in the Northwoods League, rather than just teams from my college conference.<\/p>\n

2) What was your favorite moment from the 2019 season?<\/span><\/p>\n

My favorite moment was pitching four innings in Madison to get the save. The crowd and atmosphere was incredible.<\/p>\n

3) What was your favorite part about being in Fond du Lac?<\/span><\/p>\n

My favorite part was definitely meeting the other players and making life long friendships with them. My host family was also amazing.<\/p>\n

4) Late in our season you ran over to personally thank our \u201cMilitary Hero of the Game\u201d during a game. Could you please talk about that a bit more in detail? It was a very nice gesture.<\/span><\/p>\n

The military hero on that day was the father of my host dad. I had already had the pleasure of hearing how great of a person he was. I wanted to give him a baseball signed by the team and personally shake his hand. I think it’s important that he and all of our military heroes know just how much we appreciate them.<\/p>\n

5) How was your Fall Ball season? What are your expectations for your college team this season?<\/span><\/p>\n

My Fall Ball season went well. We have a talented freshman class and a strong pitching staff this season. I think that we should do very well this year if we all stay healthy!<\/p>\n

6) What advice would you provide future players who are coming to play for the Dock Spiders and in the Northwoods League?<\/span><\/p>\n

I would say enjoy not only the baseball, but also everything that goes with it. The long bus rides, pregame meals and making lifelong friendships with your teammates.<\/p>\n

7) What is your long-term goal after college?<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to play professional baseball but I’m studying biological chemistry so if baseball doesn’t work out, I’ll probably go into some field of medicine.<\/p>\n
