The Daily Iowan: What has been the best part so far this season as a team?

Gable Mitchell: Probably just the other day [against Nebraska]. The crowd here was incredible. It was a record of some sort with the amount of people here. We don’t get to play in those environments too often, so when we get the chance, it’s pretty cool.

Who do you think has the most aura on the team?

I’m going to go with Jaixen Frost. He just kind of has something about him that’s a little intimidating when you first meet him.

If you had to play for one MLB team, what would it be?

Well, growing up, I would have told you the New York Yankees. I was definitely a Derek Jeter fan and just loved the pinstripes. Honestly, somewhere nice. Somewhere south. Wherever that would be.

What’s the coolest Big Ten field you have played on other than Iowa’s?

Indiana two years ago was really nice. Ohio State was cool. I’d probably say those two.

Who’s the best player you’ve played against at Iowa?

The first one that comes to mind is Matt Shaw.

Did you see [Matt Shaw] at Maryland when he played here?

Yeah. I was a freshman, so I probably wasn’t playing that game. But he hit one over that [left field] light pole out there. And he obviously just had a great year as well.

What do you think your earned run average would be if you pitched a full season in college?

I would obviously put in a lot of work for it if I had to pitch, but I don’t know. Probably north of five. Maybe I can figure it out.
