George Mason University alumni Shawn Griffith talked to student publication Connect2Mason about his leap into the minor leagues.

Griffith, who graduated from Mason in 2009, is a relief pitcher for a Toronto Blue Jays affiliate team, Connect2Mason reports. The 24-year-old was selected in the 37th round in the 2009 Major League draft along five others.

“My rookie year in ’09 was the best season of my life, and I got to play closer, which is my favorite position,” Griffith told Connect2Mason.
