Journey to Georgia State
Roach began his love for baseball at the age of four in Holly Springs, North Carolina. Being introduced to the sport by his parents as well as his brother-in-law, who played collegiate baseball at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, instilled a basic level of fundamentals and techniques for Roach and his twin brother, Mike.
Roach remembers the first baseball team he played on.
“The Twins,” Roach said.
