New Jersey native John Higgins discusses what it means to pitch for the Trenton Thunder in a ballpark he visited and played in while growing up.
The former Ramapo College two-way standout and Seton Hall closer explains the “ignorant confidence” required to finish games, the pressure that comes with being a closer and how his experience as a hitter helps him attack opposing batters.
Higgins also shares what players do to stay loose in the bullpen, how Shawn Chacón and pitching coach Ron Villone have helped him develop and why playing in front of family and friends makes this stop in his baseball journey especially meaningful.
