GETTING TO KNOW NICK KRESNAK
Β
WHY NICK LOVES BASEBALL:Β I love baseball because it has taught me how to be a team player and helped me grow up into the person I am today.
Β
WHY WASHINGTON:Β I chose Washington because ever since I was a little kid I was a Husky fan. Plus, the coaching staff and facilities are top notch. When I was given the opportunity to come and play at UW it was a no-brainer for me. Also, Seattle is one of my favorite cities that I have ever been to.

Coach Meggs on Kresnak:Β We were drawn to Nick immediately because of his ability to hit for average, drive in runs and play third base.Β Β However, as Nickβs high school career has evolved, he has also proven to be an impact guy on the mound.Β Β Nickβs earned run average was 1.09 last year, so now weβre talking about a potential two-way guy.Β Β With all that being said, Nickβs greatest quality is that heβs simply a winner.Β Β At the end of the day, Nick is going to find a way to beat you.Β Β
