Top Speed has been working really hard this summer not only winning another GSCBL Championship but also getting their graduated college seniors signed into professional baseball.

The following eight seniors all played for Top Speed this past summer (2016) and had big time numbers in the GSCBL which helped Top Speed go 47-4 overall and currently ranked #4 in the nation by Collegiatesummerbaseball.com.

From Coach Switala, “All these players had terrific summers for us and should all be successful at the next level. As of now all of them are succeeding at Professional Baseball and are seeing how big the difference is from College to Pro Ball. Its great winning a Championship each summer, but its even better when you can call these players and say your career is still going to continue and you leave tomorrow for professional baseball. Thats more satisfying then the championships and the national rankings.”
