Sean Reynolds

Interviewed By Mike Duffy

Mike Duffy: I was wondering when you go from high school to the minor leagues, what was the biggest challenge when you reach each stage?

Sean Reynolds: Well first off, the jump from the high school straight pro ball is difficult for a number of reasons, first and foremost the level and speed of the game is very very different than what I was used to seeing. Everyone on the field is extremely talented and worked just as hard as you to get where they are, so it was eye opening.

Mike Duffy: What is your favorite thing about being a Marlin?

Sean Reynolds: My favorite thing about being a Marlin is the excitement that comes with throwing on the jersey every day knowing who I am representing. You play for yourself to do well obviously but it’s also about knowing that each day I still have a jersey on is another day I can get closer to Miami, which is always the ultimate goal.
