Personal — Son of Stephen and Erin McDonald ... majoring in economics ... chose Cal Poly because, "The phenomenal coaching staff and storied history of success that this program has. When deciding between schools, I found that the baseball culture at Cal poly was unrivaled, and that the mix of incredible academics and historical baseball success was hard to find anywhere else."
