RENO, Nev. (NSN) — Nevada baseball player Dillan Shrum's journey at Nevada has been nothing short of easy.

The 6'1" senior started playing baseball at three or four years old, and hasn't looked back since. Growing up about 20 miles east of San Diego in El Cajon, Shrum wasn't heavily recruited, but caught the attention of Nevada head coach TJ Bruce during the fall of his senior year. Shrum had a family friend who played at UCLA while Bruce was an assistant, and Shrum's cousin, Trenton Brooks, who played at Nevada from 2014-2016, played for Coach Bruce during his first year as a head coach with the Wolf Pack. Shrum would soon become part of head coach TJ Bruce's first recruiting class. Read more.
