McInnis selects Southeastern Community College for baseball

LE MARS — Le Mars Community pitcher Brett McInnis signed his letter of intent to play baseball for Southeastern Community College at a ceremony on Wednesday. “After this last summer season, I went to a lot of camps and I decided I was talking to quite a few coaches. Southeastern called me one day and they were straightforward with me. They gave me really some inspiration to come there. Ben (Beznoska), the pitching coach there, is a really cool dude and he’s talked to me, he’s worked with professional guys and he said that I have the potential to make it anywhere I want to. So, he really inspired me to go there,” McInnis said. “I didn’t think I was going to go the JUCO route at all, but then Southeastern stuck out to me a lot and talking to guys, I thought it was the best way for me to play professional baseball one day.”
