“We are very excited that Ethan has decided to attend HU,” says head baseball coach Mike Frame. “He will make an immediate impact for us. He has outstanding ability on the mound and is athletic enough to make an impact for us as a position player. We think his best baseball is still ahead of him. We are very happy that he will be on campus this fall.”  

“Ethan was an outstanding part of the Huntington North baseball program the last four years,” adds Huntington North head coach Russ Degitz.  “Although he will be missed, we are excited that he has decided to continue his education and baseball career at Huntington University.  I know from my experience there that he will become a better baseball player, student, and overall person because of the type of place that HU is.”
