College Baseball: Some quotes from/about Jason Martinson

Martinson on his 22-game hitting streak — "I don't really try to think about it, but in my last at bat against SLU, I was just trying to get on base so it crossed my mind. I got to three (balls) and one (strike) and was like, ‘I’ll take the walk if I have to,’ but I ended up getting the pitch and did what I could with it."

Martinson on tearing his hamstring after catching his first pass in a game as a member of the Texas State football team — "I guess that was a sign I shouldn’t be playing football. I rehabbed that basically the rest of the football season so I could be ready for baseball. By the end of baseball season, I enjoyed myself a lot more over here and knew that I had a better chance at making it at the next level in baseball."

Martinson on his walk-out music — "It's just a song I liked when we first picked them and it kind of stuck. I was thinking about changing my song to what I used in Alaska, but if someone is well-liked and enjoyed by a lot of people, why change it?"

Texas State head coach Ty Harrington on Martinson playing two sports as a freshman — "He was a dual recruit as a football and baseball player. At some time, he decided he had a better opportunity to move forward professionally as a baseball player and not as a football player. He wanted to devote his time to baseball but I had no problem with him playing two sports. I liked the whole thing, but it was his decision."
