Jimmy Brennan (20) is a junior outfielder for St. John’s University in Queens, New York.  He was taken in the 45th round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft by the Detroit Tigers after his senior year of high school before ultimately ending up patrolling center field for the Red Storm.  Over the course of his two years at St. John’s, Brennan has played an integral part in the team’s success serving as the leadoff hitter and starting centerfielder. His strong play was evident in his first two seasons, with the team reaching the BIG EAST championship in back-to-back seasons in 2010 and 2011, winning the title in 2010. The Red Storm advanced to the NCAA tournament in both years as well.  He is eligible to be selected again in the MLB Draft this upcoming spring.  In addition to his dream to become a professional baseball player, Brennan is also an aspiring sports journalist.  He combines his passion for journalism with a unique perspective on the game of baseball which centers around his love for the sport.
