“It is super exciting stuff to be part of an organization that has got so much history in such a cool ballpark with really great people within the organization all around. It has been awesome.

Notably, Condon led the NCAA in batting (.443), home runs (a BBCOR-era record 37), slugging percentage (1.009), total bases (233) and OPS (1.565). The right-handed slugger also recorded 100 hits, 84 runs and 78 RBIs in 231 at-bats.
