Get to Know Senior Max Deering
What draws you to baseball? What is special about the college game?
The personalities of the guys who coach and play it. The goose bumps I get from the smallest intricacies of the game. College is the best time of our lives, and we get to spend it playing baseball. I think that's pretty special.
Who is your favorite guy on the team to compete with? To compete against? Why?

Why did you choose Santa Clara?

Alums may remember that another Bronco, Daniel Nava, made a big splash with a grand slam in his very first at bat for the Red Sox, which coincidently also took place against the Phillies. Nava currently finds himself in the thick of the pennant race and playing a key role for Boston.
