RH: Podcast With Gavin Oswald, Derek Williams On Shocker Baseball

Wichita State pitcher Gavin Oswald and outfielder/first baseman Derek Williams met at age 8 playing baseball in the St. Louis area.

They are reunited as newcomers with the Shockers. We talk about Oswald's custom-made spikes, why he hates facing teammate Jaden Gustafson and how Oswald and Williams journeyed to Wichita State. Williams explains why he operates with such a positive attitude and Oswald describes what it's like to play baseball for the Savannah Bananas.

Oswald is a junior from Lafayette, Mo. He spent the past two seasons with Mineral Area College, where he went 12-3 with a 4.
