PERSONAL

Son of Courtney and Misato Diggins
One older brother, Joshua, and one younger sister, Paige
His brother, Joshua, played baseball at Colby Community College
Lived in Australia until he was 15 before moving to Japan to play high school baseball for three years
Picked Kansas over Arizona, Kansas State, Dallas Baptist and Wichita State
Chose Kansas because, “It seemed like the perfect fit for me. On my visit, I was fortunate enough to watch a baseball game and the atmosphere at that game got me excited. Along with that, the coaching staff was really helpful during the recruiting process and I feel like they can help me reach my goal of making it to the big leagues.”
