MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Home can sometimes be a difficult concept. How does one really define home? For some, it can be a physical place. For others, it can be an idea that makes them feel secure in who they are as a person. Sometimes, it can be a physical thing or even the people that you surround yourself with. For Middle Tennessee freshman pitcher Chandler Alderman, it's been a little bit of all the above in what has been a whirlwind of a last year for the left-hander.
They physical town that Alderman grew up in is Poplar Grove, Illinois, population just over 5,000 according to the most recent census.
