Adam Berghorst faced the toughest decision of his life this summer. No, he wasn’t thinking about a de-commitment or a different program, but rather he had to choose if he wanted to go the way of the MLB after being drafted by the Texas Rangers or stay with his pledge to Michigan State for football and baseball.
The freshman defensive end from Zeeland, Mich., chose the latter, and it wasn’t that big of a surprise given what kind of kid he is.
No, it’s not selfish to pursue a dream of playing baseball out of high school, but he knew it’d be a long, uphill battle if he wanted to make the majors.
