Kyle D’Angela’s experience at Bethany College has been short on game time but long on learning.
The 19-year-old Thorold resident just completed his sophomore season at the small West Virginia institute, where he is a member of the Bisons baseball team while majoring in economics with a minor in criminal justice.
D’Angela, a left-handed pitcher, appeared in only one game in his freshman season before the schedule was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bisons were able to complete a 37-game schedule this season which saw them compile a 16-21 mark playing in the Division 3 Presidents’ Athletic Conference.
D’Angela saw action in four games, including one start, going 0-1 with a 6.43 earned run average in seven innings.
“I’m having a great time down there,” the Denis Morris graduate said. “My favourite part has been building relationships with teammates, roommates, classmates. I’ve never had this much fun hanging out with people, playing baseball and even going to class.
“I’m enjoying college more than high school because of the atmosphere and the people around me.”
D’Angela, the lone Canadian on the Bisons, would love to see more game action, but understands the situation.
