Asmussen | Harris fits right in with experienced roster
Rick Danzl/The News-Gazette Josh Harris throws during practice at Illinois Field in Champaign on Tuesday, May 28, 2019.Call him "Gramps," "Pops" or the "World's Oldest Sophomore," it doesn't bother Josh Harris.
The Marine-turned-Illinois relief pitcher is having the time of his life.
"Like I've been telling people all season, I'm super happy I chose to come play here," Harris said.
The soon-to-be 26-year-old had other options after standout 2018 season at Kankakee Community College. UIC, Texas-Arlington, Miami (Ohio) and others showed interest.
Looks like he made a good call. Starting Friday in Oxford, Miss., Harris will be in the NCAA tournament.
