KALAMAZOO, Mich. — The Kalamazoo Growlers roster is littered with local players, and several of them are having an impact on the team this year.
Myles Beale is a Grand Rapids Catholic Central alumni, who is playing in Kalamazoo this summer. He plays college ball at Northwood.
For him, playing close to home is a huge benefit, as well as getting the chance to hone in on his skills more throughout the summer.
"Probably just being able to handle velocity a little bit better. It can't hurt. Being able to do that and work on my base running. It's been a lot of fun. You can't complain about playing baseball all summer long. That's kinda what we signed up to do with college ball, so it's been a lot of fun. A great group of guys. I can't complain," said Beale.
He's currently batting .229 with 10 RBI's this season.
