"The speed of the game. That was the biggest adjustment."

Whitt Callahan, a senior infielder at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky, joins Carter Mize on this episode of Tiger Alumni Player Spotlight.

A Southern Indiana Rawlings Tigers alum, Callahan played four full summer seasons with the Tigers from 15U to 18U before beginning his collegiate career at Spalding.

"I played all my high school summers with the Tigers. I'm really glad I did—it gave me the reps and exposure I needed to connect with college coaches and make my way into college baseball."

Callahan's path to college baseball is unconventional in today's era of frequent transfers. Preparing for his final season of eligibility, he has stuck at Spalding University throughout his collegiate journey.

The senior infielder found Spalding after the Southern Indiana Rawlings Tigers held a private workout for Spalding's coaching staff to see.

The infielder has played in 75 games over 3 seasons for Spalding playing both third base, and second base. Winning is a hallmark of Spalding's baseball program with back-to-back SLIAC conference titles.
