Richie Ciufo
On this episode, we are joined by Richie Ciufo, senior SS at Brown University. He is also a 2015 graduate of Pat-Med. Richie is a player that was effected by the NCAA's decision to end the 2020 season on March 12 due to the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). He only had the opportunity to play 12 games in a season in which he was named captain and was on the radar of several MLB teams. We discuss how he found out about the decision, what happened in the immediate aftermath and what his plans are now. We also discussed his time at Pat-Med, the workload of an Ivy School student-athlete and his musical career.
