With a record breaking eight minute and fifteen second mile and a half run, 6"1', Ian Land, a center field freshman at Bluffton University, hopes to make his mark on the baseball field in the approaching 2010 season. Eric Penz, a former Bluffton University player said, "Ian's times are astonishing to witness." Not receieving any scholarships or grants to go to Bluffton, Ian still hopes he can succeed and help out the team on and off the field.
Originally from Troy, Michigan, he played high school baseball at Lathrup High in Southfield and later transferrring to Athens High as a junior where Ian was a part of the O.A.A. championship team. Ian has been quoted saying that he still holds that dearly in his heart. He hopes to keep the tradition of winning as he enters the collegiate level of play.
As the days go by, you notice that technology gets increasingly more efficient and as baseball moves to the collegiate level, the game speeds up. One thing that a team needs is speed; luckily the Beavers have acquired exactly that with their pickup of Ian. With all talents must come discipline. This holds true when it comes to speed also, in turn let's see if in this 2010 season, Ian Land can help the Beavers speed to the top of the HCAC.
