Just as the Michigan baseball team was preparing to open its home schedule in March, the season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic and players were sent home.
On their way out, teammates and roommates Jeff Criswell and Jordan Nwogu grabbed as much weight equipment, medicine balls and resistance bands as they were allowed and set up a makeshift workout facility at their nearby home. Other teammates joined them, and often they’d head over to Nwogu’s alma mater, Ann Arbor Pioneer, to hit and throw when possible.
It has taken some time to move past the initial shock of the season abruptly ending, but it’s hard for them to not think about what could have been.
