That is how many games Kale Emshoff suited up to play for Little Rock over the final two years of his collegiate career.
Just 17 chances to play the game he has loved since he was a little kid. But those 17 opportunities more than likely were enough to help ensure he gets many more games behind the plate.
"It's crazy to think about it, but yeah," said Emshoff, with a slight chuckle. "17 games in two years. I never would have imagined."
As is true with a lot of student-athletes around the country, Emshoff took a unique path to go from deep South Texas to Little Rock.
