Westwood Pitcher Going Division 1

Chris Carroll has enjoyed much success playing baseball for the Westwood Cardinals and head coach Joe Yurko. Carroll will be looking to extend that success next season when he attends Seton Hall University to play Division 1 and pitch for the Pirates.

Carroll, who has had many big high school baseball moments, is very excited to start his new career for Seton Hall.

"I feel like Seton Hall was a perfect fit for me," said Carroll. "I love the school and the baseball program. I can't wait to start my college career there."

It is impressive enough to play collegiate baseball, but getting to the Division 1 level takes a lot of hard work and practice.

"I think I am pretty lucky and blessed," Carroll said. "I know how difficult it is to play at the college level especially Division 1."

Carroll has loved playing baseball a and will miss it when he leaves. He attributes a lot of his success to his experiences there, as well.

"I think playing at Westwood has allowed me and shaped me into the pitcher that I am today. Without Coach Yurko and my teammates I would not be here," Carroll said. "Graduating and knowing I won't be playing ball with the 'guys' anymore is kind of sad but I'm so glad I had the chance to play with them all. I am focused and determined to make my career at Seton Hall a success. I can't wait to play for such a prestigious college baseball program."

Carroll makes life difficult for those who hit against him, and he is unique in that he pitches lefty.

Baseball has always been his true love and passion in the world of sports, and it is evident how excited Carroll is to play for the Seton Hall Pirates and how determined he is to make a big impact on the team and its success.
