Canadian crusher: The sky is the limit for freshman Edouard Julien

AUBURN, Ala. – Last summer, Edouard Julien sat in a history class at Auburn and didn’t understand anything the professor was saying.

“It’s going to be a long year,” Julien thought to himself.

The freshman baseball player had just moved to Auburn from Quebec City where he and his family spoke only French growing up. The initial language barrier didn’t just affect him in the classroom either. It affected communication with his teammates. He couldn’t take coaching as well because he didn’t always know what they were trying to say.
