Senior pitcher Sam Stevens signed his letter of intent on Wednesday to attend xavieruniversity and play Division 1 baseball at xubase. Before an audience of Sam’s teammates, friends, teachers and fans, his coaches and parents took a moment to congratulate him and thank all of the people who helped him get to this point. 

After the signing ceremony, MacJ caught up with the accomplished pitcher, and he shared his thoughts about his big day.

“First off I would like to thank my parents for all the sacrifices they’ve made for me throughout my life,” Stevens said. “They’ve always been with me through the countless hours of practice and games. I couldn’t have done it without them and will always love them and be grateful for everything.”

“Secondly I would like to thank my coaches. My high school coaches include Coach Grant, Coach Searle, Coach Honeycutt and Coach Collins. I’m thankful to them for making the past four years extremely memorable. My travel ball Coach Nick DeSantiago has been with me since I was 9 years old and has taught me how to really be a baseball player. He has not only been a great coach but a great friend to my family and me.”

“Lastly, I would like to thank my friends who have been with me throughout my journey. Some of them have played with me since Little League, and some just met me this year, but they have all played a significant part in my career, and I will always cherish the memories we made together.”

“This is just the beginning and I hope I represent McCallum well.”
