Commitment Q & A
PBR: Tell us all about your recruitment process, when it started, and why you decided to commit to Johnson and Wales?
DeMatteo: I started the process in the 10th grade. I knew that I had an interest in Culinary Arts and wanted to continue to play baseball in college. I emailed several coaches from schools I was interested in studying at. I tried to go to each school's camps. After visiting the schools and participating in their camps, I realized that JWU was the perfect fit for me.
PBR: Looking at your skillset on the baseball field, what would you say your biggest strength at the next-level will be?
DeMatteo: Pitching. I have put in a lot of work over the last couple of years to improve mechanics.
PBR: What's your No. 1 priority going into the Winter in terms of getting prepared for next spring?
DeMatteo: I plan on working out this winter on all phases of my development.
PBR: Who is your biggest influence when it comes to playing the game of baseball?
DeMatteo: My biggest influence is my dad.
PBR: Prep Baseball Report's No. 1 goal is to provide players with an unrivaled platform filled with next-level exposure through events and multi-media avenues. What's your experience been with us?
