2018 Highlights
April 2020Personal Statement
Hello College Baseball Coaches,
After a year in college, I have entered the transfer portal and am evaluating opportunities to continue my education and contribute to the success of a college baseball program somewhere new. I have activated both my NCAA & NAIA eligibility with 4 years of eligibility ahead of me. I am a success minded competitor on & off the playing field with a college GPA over 3.2 and high school GPA of 4.05 GPA where I earned 8 varsity sports letters (baseball-4, soccer-2, basketball-2) prior to HS graduation.
As a RHP, I feel comfortable & confident throwing 3-4 pitches (FB at 86+mph) for strikes with accuracy. What make me different as a pitcher and why you should recruit me? I do my job, make my pitches and regardless of the situation I stay calm under pressure especially when the game is on the line which helps my teams win. I give my best effort, try to have fun & seek to improve every day.
I started to learn & love the game of baseball with my friends on a neighborhood baseball team. I worked hard, had fun, was teachable and listened to my coaches on my way through rec ball & up to elite travel ball teams. I like to compete and challenge myself with & against the very best. I am a fierce competitor. I have experience playing with & against some of the best baseball players in the country and excelling in many national baseball events (PerfectGame, PBR, USSSA, etc.). Have also been named to the 2019 & 2020 Rawlings/Perfect Game Pre-Season All American teams and been named All-Tourney Pitcher in a large number of big PG events. Unfortunately, like many athletes, the Cvid period kept too many of us from getting on the diamond & playing games. (Also see links below to profile link for other awards).
My baseball mindset? I realize that getting a solid college education through my pitching is an oppty, privilege and blessing I don't take for granted. As a pitcher, I stay calm, exude confidence, mix up my pitches, focus on locating pitches consistently for strikes and improving velocity each year. I have good defensive skills as well as a pitcher since I also played the infield most of my life. Please check out my online profile and share any feedback or interest you may have in me. Let's open a dialogue and talk about college baseball together.
Thank you,
Brennan Connell #20

Training
- Premier Baseball KC in Lenexa, KS: Strength & Conditioning, Arm Care, Speed & Agility
- 2 years
- Working with Bob Zimmerman at Premier Baseball for in-season & off-season holistic conditioning. Programs to strengthen and protect my body/arm/shoulder/back. Part of my longterm approach to success in high school, then college and beyond. This facility and my classes are full of top, top talent.
- Pitching with Kevin Sprague
- 6 years
- At age 9,10,11 was dominant pitcher but was approached by coaches to be careful with my motion because it could lead to injuries later in life. Was encouraged to find teaching coach to start over and learn a safer pitching approach. After meeting with several coaches, we picked Kevin Sprague because he could coach me in how to start over but teach me in the language and way that I learned best. Coach Sprague also has helped me be mentally strong on the mound and in game situations. He has been excellent to work with. I know when I need "tweaking" that he understands me enough to see & fix anything in only a few minutes.
