Evans Aces

Well, "it ain't over til it's over" - but after the boys got together for our final practice last night it certainly "is deja vu all over again" as we head right back to LakePoint Sports in Emerson this weekend for the PBT Season Finale and, after 180+ games over 6 years, our last tournament as the Evans Aces. We are very grateful for the trust you have given us to coach these now young men over the years, and the support of our entire organization. We have been blessed with wonderful families and have met many new friends that will remain. It will be bittersweet, but we only feel much pride and unbridled excitement for all of our Aces as they move forward towards their high school careers and beyond. As Yogi Berra once said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it!" He also said "You can observe a lot just by watching", so come out and watch some late Fall baseball this weekend! Thank you all and we look forward to seeing the unmatched Aces Nation out there in full force ~

After a slow, frustrating and sometimes heartbreaking start to our Fall season comprising two rainouts, multiple injuries, and the loss of a family member, we finally got rolling again in the PG Atlanta Southeast Fall Showdown this past weekend. After a split pool play day on Saturday, we let a slim lead slip away in a 1-run loss in open Majors competition on Sunday. We will learn from our defeats and be ready to go in the Prep Baseball Fall Frenzy and Season Finale tournaments in November at LakePoint Sports complex in Emerson before we usher these boys back to their respective school ball teams for the Winter and Spring. Always proud of our boys, but there is work to be done, growth to be expected, ready or not we keep moving forward ~

That a boy, Michael!! Former longtime Ace with a tremendous Fall ~

✨Player Spotlight✨2030 2-Way Michael Simmons dominated on both sides of the ball this fall! The 6’1” Lefty is lanky with a big frame. Can’t wait to see Michael’s physicality develop in the years to come!

Sharing this simply because I like this story and the synergy of baseball in our lives.

This guy turned a $50 birthday gift into an MLB career 👇

But back in high school, things weren’t going so well.

After his last varsity game, he thought he'd hung up the cleats for the last time.

"I was driving around town just thinking I'm done with baseball for the rest of my life."

Then his high school coach called.

There was a summer showcase hosted by small colleges looking to fill roster spots.

It cost $50 to register.

Luckily, he had just turned 19 years old & had some birthday money saved up.

"One more day of baseball." That's what he thought.

But his performance at the showcase caught the attention of one guy.

The coach at an NAIA school in Illinois.

They made him an offer & he accepted.

More baseball.

He took the opportunity and ran with it.

Fast forward to 2020:

After entering the big leagues as a 6th-round pick, he retired as a 3-time MLB All-Star & 2-time World Series Champion.

A classic late bloomer, he made it a lot further than anyone thought he would.

His name is Ben Zobrist.

And he said something I think more parents of young players should be thinking about:

"I hate seeing these kids that can't play travel ball cause they're not good enough at the age of 13, 14, 15, and then giving up on the game because they don't think it's ever gonna take them anywhere."

"You never know what could happen. You could develop into a great player."
