2,000 miles away from home, with no friends, no family, in a small dorm. So the reality hit me. But it helped me mature and become independent and helped me become a man. So I\u2019m very thankful for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Styles__StoryPartContainer-sc-1mfrmm0-0 bxycmk story-part markdown\">\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 hzQtMz\">\n<p>Gamble has grown as a person and a player. He\u2019s gained strength, showed control of the zone, a knack for finding the barrel and above-average speed. He\u2019s proven athletic enough to handle big assignments in the middle of the diamond, be it center field or second base.
