Little League WS Debate

Here at the BATT Academy we have players from all backgrounds come into train. They are different ages, different positions, different talent levels, and different personalities. But one thing remains constant, they all want to be professional baseball players. During the offseason we have dozens players who are free agents working as hard as they can every day hoping they will get another year in pro ball, or for some a chance to prove themselves at the professional level for the first time.

Whatever the outcome of the offseason training, our staff at the BATT Academy actively stays in touch with our players. Our Matt Acevedo took the time to speak with Dustin Pease, whose hard work in the offseason landed him another year in professional baseball playing with the Wichita Wingnuts in the American Association. We asked him about life on the road.

M.A. – What is the one thing that you like the most about road trips?
D.P.  – Probably getting to see new places and try new foods.
M.A. – What is the one thing that you like the least about road trips?
D.P. – There’s not really that much to do on the road and long bus rides.
M.A. – What is the longest road trip you have ever been on?
D.P. – The longest road trip was a 16 hour road trip from Winnipeg to Chicago.  We had bunk beds on the bus but it was still uncomfortable.
M.A. – Where’s the best and worst place you have been on the road?
D.P. – The best place I have ever been was Kansas City , Kansas to play the Kansas City T Bones and the worst place has to be Gary Indiana.
M.A. – What do you eat the most on the road?
D.P. – Generally I eat a lot of fast food because you’re always being rushed whether it’s to and from the stadium or games end late so your choices are limited, although I have currently been getting a lot of Papa John’s Pizza.
M.A. – By the end of your career, where is the one ball park you hope to be playing in?
D.P. – Oriole Park Camden Yards.
