Kyle Storemski has played baseball since the age of four. He remembers driving to games, listening to music with his family, and having fun.
Going into high school, Storemski knew what he wanted to do.
“My original goal was to make the team. I didn’t care what team as long as I could play,” he said. “As soon as I got that, my goal shifted to start on the district game days at the varsity levels.”
“After I got there I wanted to keep playing as long as I could and maintain my strong position,” Storemski added. “My goals were set to play at the next level after high school because I wanted to play baseball for as long as I possibly can.”
After his junior season, Storemski officially committed to Baylor University, though the process of his recruitment wasn’t what you would call normal.
Storemski was injured the entire summer season, which for baseball recruiting is one of the most important times.
Still, the Baylor coaches took notice.
“Coach Strauss [Baylor’s pitching coach] cane to watch me at a tournament in Georgia the summer going into my junior year. That put me on the radar,” he said.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
