Austin takes us back to his first love for the game, the coaches and moments that shaped his passion, and the surprising way North Dakota State found him. He also opens up about suiting up for two teams this summer, balancing the grind, and the highlights that made it all worth it.

It hasn’t been all smooth sailing though — Austin shares his mental battle through a tough injury and how the support around him helped turn things around.

Finally, he offers heartfelt advice for young players dreaming big, including the mindset and habits that keep him motivated. Whether you’re a baseball fan or just love a good underdog story, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.
