Tawa attended Stanford University, where he played college baseball for the Stanford Cardinal. He chose to play only baseball in college because he liked the sport more than football and he felt he was "more projectable" as a professional baseball player. In 2019, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League.
