Coach Dan Davis on Berry: "Charlie is a middle infielder we saw at a showcase after his sophomore year in high school. He was a smaller guy who played big with the upper classmen. He showed absolutely no fear when hitting against the older guys. He has a knack for hitting barrel and he plays with fire and passion. We loved him from the first time we saw him and can't wait to watch him grow and compete in a Bulldog uniform!"

Ever since I have talked to the coach from day 1 I have known that Truman was going to be my future home. The real reason I choose Truman is because of the Brotherhood aspect that not only the baseball team poses but also in the school and teachers. This is very important to me and I think that Truman does a great job at it. I cannot wait to get up to campus next fall and get to work, meet the team, and win a title. I would like to end this with a thanks to the coaching staff and everyone who has believed in me along the way.”

Coach Dan Davis on Burt: "We saw Charlie a couple of times this summer and we really liked him. He's a tough-nosed catcher who can hit for some power and can control the running game. He's a high energy catcher who works hard and loves the game. It's going to be fun watching Charlie grow in the program!"

Dakota is one of the best contact hitters I have ever coached. He is also one of the best 2 strike hitters I have ever seen come through the baseball program also. It is very rare to see Dakota strike out. The ball is always put in play with a hit as a result most of the time. He is your classic hard nose third basemen that will keep everything in front of him to be able to throw a runner out. Off the field he has outstanding grades and gets along with all students and staff members. Always willing to to offer a helping hand in the community and to others. Dakota is one of the special young men that come around that you will miss and talk positive about to all your future teams.”

Krock on why he chose Truman:  “I picked Truman because of the location.  Also, I adored the campus.  I want to play Bulldog Baseball because I knew that the coaches and players would be able to accelerate my baseball career.”

Coach Dan Davis on Krock: "We heard about Tommy from coach Horowitz. He was making a trip to Missouri to visit another school and he came to workout with our guys. Our guys loved him immediately! Tommy can really swing the bat. We think he'll have a chance to be a middle of the order bat as a true freshman. He can play a couple of positions which should give him more opportunities to play immediately. We look forward to Tommy joining the program!"
