In a must-read story from the Washington Post, Adam Kilgore tells us about Drew Storen’s plans to return to Stanford University this fall in order to pursue his degree in product design.
Storen was selected with the No. 10 overall pick after completing his sophomore season last June. The 23-year-old is currently six quarters away from earning his degree and has every intention of reaching his goal.
“I’ve grown up a lot in the past year,” Storen said Tuesday, sitting in the Turner Field dugout in Atlanta. “I feel like I’m going back to high school or something - kind of go back to that different attitude. It’ll be fun. It’s going to be great. I really enjoy the Bay Area. I really enjoy being in school. A lot of my best friends from college are there. Why not go back and chip away at my education?”
“Playing baseball is like playing with house money, almost. If it works out and I don’t have to work a day in my life, that’s great. If not, then I fall back on a Stanford education.”
