The Rhode Island Nationals Baseball Club was founded by Chris Gagner over 9 years ago with one very simple yet important principal in mind - to create a well balanced youth sports organization that promotes family and strength of community along with reinforcing the value of academic and athletic success.

Over the last 9 seasons we have been tremendously fortunate to have so many families call the Nationals their home for all things baseball here in the East Bay.

Last night we awarded the first ever RI Nationals Baseball Club Scholarship to a Mt. Hope High School senior who displays sportsmanship on the baseball diamond and has consistently supported his teammates regardless the outcome of the game.

Congratulations to Jack Thompson on winning this inaugural scholarship last night at Mt Hope. Jack will be attending Bryant University this fall where he plans to study Managerial Finanace with a concentration in Accounting. Best of luck in your continued persuit of excellence in both the class room and on the baseball field Jack !!

We thank all of our terrific Nats players, coaches, family members, and friends who support our organization each and every season !! We very much look forward to the opportunity of supporting our players academic and athletic achievements as they prepare for college for years to come.

Nats on 3 .. Family on 6
