I am extremely excited to announce my commitment to continue my Academic and Athletic career at Butler University. I want to thank my teammates, friends, family, and especially my parents for all of their constant support and sacrifices. Thank you to all my coaches and trainers including Coach Dk, Spencer, Javy, Coach Colon, and Coach Vanmill for helping me grow as a player and person. As well as Coach Pedlowe and Oliveira for guiding me throughout this process. Finally, I want to thank Coach Beemer and the Butler Baseball coaching staff for believing in me and providing me with this opportunity to play Division 1 baseball. Go Bulldogs 🔵⚪️ #TheButlerWay

Exciting things are happening over at Elite Baseball. Our athletes finished testing and have all received personalized reports based on their results. Here's an example of one of our 16u players!

The track record of interns through Elite speaks for itself! Great way not only learn the tech, but more importantly, how to communicate it to players. @teams_elite @TravisKerber @kayeski2
