Now, with another opportunity to end his Georgia career on a positive note, Brooks is uplifted both by the trip to Omaha and his spot in the draft. I just want to get the opportunity to play.

Every hitter goes into a slump.
You've got to get in there and just try to see it and hit it. You can't go in there and not swing. You can't come out of it that way. Brooks struck out in his last two at-bats of the second game of the Super Regional against Florida State, including one called third strike. He says he'll be swinging in Omaha - while trying to avoid thinking of home runs.
