Devin Russell '28 Recruiting Profile

I have played baseball since I was 5-yrs old and competitively since I was 9.  I have played on various travel ball teams throughout Eastern NC.  

I was on the Middle School Baseball team where I played catcher and outfield and finished the season with the highest batting average of .650. 

I was invited to play on a Summer League with the high school team In 2024. .i again played Catcher and OF and was also moved up to Pitcher during the Legion 25 year.  I finished with a .376  batting average.

I train privately twice per week with former MLB Pitcher Roomie Davis. My batting velocity is average 90mph and distance is average 240-280.

I finished up my travel ball play at the end of Summer 25 and will now concentrate solely on private lessons and workouts with the team, as well as, private nutrition classes and weight training. 

I am 100% committed to this game and I’m here to do what it takes to be recruited - both physically and mentally. 

As far as college funding, I am blessed to be able to use my father’s Army GI Bill to pay for college. 

I would like to stay within the Atlantic Coast only because of my grandfather’s health, but as a family we have also agreed that I would be open minded to any college anywhere. 

I feel I am a good player because I’m willing to listen and I’m always searching for ways to improve myself.  I can take any negative feedback and turn it into a positive .  I consider myself polite and gentlemanly because of growing up in a military family - but on the opposite side that is also what makes me a hard worker and will not settle for average.  

I consider myself fast, and my goal by the middle of 2025 is to run a 60-yd dash at college levels - as I am only a few tenths away.  

I look forward to speaking to any Coach interested in me so you can learn more about me as a player - and a guy who simply loves baseball.
