Gage Harrelson speaks

“One, they’re just a great baseball team, and they go out for kids that really want to grind and win the game,” said Harrelson.”They don’t go out for kids that just kind of show their talent a little bit.

“They’ll do anything to win and I love that. Family-based. They’re super cool and I swear I’ve probably gotten over 200 texts talking about how, you know, welcome to the Texas Tech family.”
