Brendt Citta has reached a very difficult doorstep

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Baseball has taken Brendt Citta on quite a journey. However, that trip has not included very many paved roads.

This path began at San Jose State in 2016. Citta played in 50 games and hit .230 with a .609 OPS. Following that campaign, Citta decided to transfer to Kansas. Based on this decision, he missed the 2017 season as a transfer redshirt.

This is where the road that began as gravel, became a back country road. During the 2018 season, Citta hit .322 with an .870 OPS of Kansas. This finally drew some eyes to his craft.
