In an exclusive interview on YSN’s latest episode, Joseph shared insights into his journey, the significance of family support, and the team’s goals for the season.

Last Friday, Joseph played a pivotal role in Canfield’s thrilling victory against their archrival, the Poland Bulldogs, in the highly anticipated “Battle of 224.” Reflecting on the game, Joseph said, “It felt really good to get our get back from last year. It was a sad loss, but we made it work this year, and we’re very proud of it.”
The Canfield Cardinals are sitting at a 2-2 record and looking strong. Joseph attributes much of his success to his family’s unwavering support. “My family has done everything they could. They’ve come to every game. They’ve supported me. They wear a jersey with my name on it at every game, and they’re always bringing my grandparents,” he shared proudly.

When faced with the perennial question of whether he prefers offense or defense, Joseph’s current focus lies on the defensive side. “I’ve been liking defense a lot recently,” he admitted. He lauded the team’s defensive depth, highlighting the trust and cohesion within the squad.

The Cardinals, coached by Matt Ignazio, are prepping for a tough matchup against the Cheney Cowboys this Friday. Despite Cheney’s 1-3 record, Joseph recognizes their athleticism and speed, emphasizing the importance of focused practices.

As senior year advances, Joseph fondly recalls his journey from freshman year to now, noting the camaraderie among the senior class. “Our senior group, we’re a smaller class. We’ve had a lot of people leave our class, but we’ve stayed together and stayed friends,” he said.

Looking ahead, Joseph has ambitious academic goals, considering a future in engineering or business, with institutions like Miami University of Ohio on his radar.
Nick Joseph’s story is one of dedication, resilience, and community. As the Canfield Cardinals gear up for the rest of the season, Joseph’s leadership and passion will undoubtedly propel the team forward.

Some people have the ability to take on high-pressure situations in life and maintain a slow heartbeat.

For example, taking on two of the nations top college baseball teams in back to back starts, and coming out relatively unscathed after 10.2 innings pitched, five strikeouts, and an ERA of 3.38?  That’s looking into the face of greatness and not blinking.  That is the Sophomore 6’3 Southpaw for YSU.  That is Colin Clark.

Clark is a business major at YSU, and business has been good on the diamond.  Colin has gone 5.1 innings in both outings, and like all things, is only getting better with time.  Colin gave up three earned runs in the opening series versus Mississippi State, and followed that performance up in Tallahassee with a gem against the Seminoles of Florida State letting up only one earned run while striking out 4.

It’s no surprise to those who know him, though.  At Logan Elm High School, Clark was the recipient of three varsity letters and was a team captain for two of them.  Also before his time at YSU, Clark played in the Mizuno Senior All-Star Series and recorded a league-best 72 strikeouts his senior season.

So, it’s no surprise that there’s a certain comfort the Guins have in giving the ball to the guy who continues to frustrate hitters and excite Penguin Nation.  When the giants are in the other dugout and there’s nowhere to turn, who are you gonna call?  YSN’s General Manager Steve Leslie had a chance to catch up with the answer to that question for this week’s YSU Baseball Player Profile: CALLIN’ CLARK.
