VYPE: Noah, thanks for taking a quick break. Tell me what grade are you in and how long have you played baseball? 

Flanagan: I’m a senior and I’ve played baseball my whole life.

VYPE: That’s a long time. So, the big question is…who is the best player in the MLB? 

Flanagan: The best player in the MLB right now has to be Shohei Ohtani. There may never be anyone like him again.

VYPE: I like that. Great player. What about your teammates at NHS? What makes them great? 

Flanagan: I love my teammates competitiveness, the brotherhood I share with them, and our shared goal of being the best team/program/player we can be. 

VYPE: What about the Norman community? 

Flanagan: I love the atmosphere that students bring to the games. The support they give us is what makes being a student athlete so worth it. 

VYPE: Has there been a moment this season or any other that really stands out? 

Flanagan: My favorite memories competing for Norman High are the spring break trips we took to San Marcos.

VYPE: Everyone at NHS loves the Sam Marcos trips. What would you like to do after you graduate? 

Flanagan: After I graduate, I plan to attend Trinity University in San Antonio to play baseball. 

VYPE: Knowing you’re heading off to college, what area of your game did you want to improve this season at the prep level? 

Flanagan: This season my pitching has improved the most, in terms of velocity, consistency, and control. 

VYPE: Where do you think the team improved the most? 

Flanagan: How improved we are as a team, and the true shot we have at earning a spot in the state tournament.

VYPE: When you’re not on the field, what can we find you doing? 

Flanagan: In my free time, I enjoy fishing, hiking, hanging out with teammates off the field, and watching sports.

BONUS QUESTION! 

VYPE: Do you belong to any clubs or groups at school?
