COACH CORBIN QUOTE: Spags has pitching tools that you can’t teach. There is a tremendous amount of potential in his arm and body. There are close similarities to what Adam Ravenelle looked like in his freshman year. With touches and repetitions, we are going to see dividends sooner than later. Serious kid who has a high care level for his craft and his schoolwork.
2015 – Made his collegiate debut vs. UT-Martin 2/24 allowing two runs on six hits with one strikeout over two innings.
HIGH SCHOOL –Tossed the seventh no hitter in Chaminade HS history as a senior to clinch league title… Lettered two years in baseball, two years in basketball and one year in golf… Won baseball titles in 2011-12 and captained his baseball team as a senior… Won league title in basketball in 2012 when he was named MVP… Was a member of the National Honor Society and honor roll.
ACADEMICS – Spagnuolo is undecided on a major in his first year at Vanderbilt.
PERSONAL – Brendan Raymond Spagnuolo… Born 2/7/96 in Manhasset, N.Y…. Son of Doreen and Raymond Spagnuolo… Has two brothers, Sean and Ryan… His cousin is a professional wrestler… Favorites include: Dustin Pedroia (baseball player), Boston Red Sox (team), Big Fish and Happy Gilmore (movies), Seinfield and Tosh.O (TV shows), Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington (actors), Florida Georgia Line and Mike Stud (music), pizza (late night snack)… If we was not an athlete he would be studying to be a lawyer… Says Ryan Reynolds would play him in a movie… Uses competitive as the one word to describe himself… Rooms with Matt Ruppenthal and Kyle Wright… Lists throwing a no hitter as a senior in high school as his most memorable athletic moment… Chose Vanderbilt “because it offered the best of both academics and athletics. Also the team was more than just a team, it was a family.”
