Todd Burgos University of Redlands Bound

East Bay, CA (August, 2012)

Golden Era Baseball’s standout centerfielder and left handed pitcher Todd Burgos has decided to play his college baseball at University of Redlands.

Burgos is coming off a very solid summer season where he was a fixture in the middle of Golden Era’s 18U batting order and a dominant pitcher on the mound.

Even though Todd has Division 1 talent as a baseball player, both as a pitcher as well as a position player, he decided a smaller school with high academics was a great long term fit for him.
Golden Era Coach Derek Bell says, “I’m really excited for Todd, not only because he’s going to end up moving on to play college baseball at University of Redlands, but he’s also going to play the same position at the same school I did in college. It’s a great moment.

Coach Bell added, “Todd is one of those special players, not because of what he can do as a player even though that in its own right is special… but what sets Todd apart are the intangibles he brings to the field every day. He’s a natural leader, has all of his teammates respect and has a work ethic that is tough to match”

“On top of everything Todd brings to the table on the baseball field, more importantly, Todd is an exceptional person, who I have seen first-hand donate his time to help others and to be a mentor to younger players coming up. I believe Todd is going to be successful in any walk of life because of everything that makes up who he is. I personally, and we as a program could not be more proud of Todd and we wish him the best of luck playing baseball at the college level”.

Todd say’s, “It feels good to be out of high school and knowing that I’m going to be playing baseball at the next level. I’m excited to play with a bunch of guys who love the game as much as I do. I’d also like to say thank you to my Golden Era teammates, you guys made up the best team I have ever been part of and it was great being around and playing with you guys”.

As far as what Todd’s next goals are, “To do well and get as good as I possibly can… and take my ability to an even higher level”.

On behalf of everyone here at Golden Era Baseball, we say congratulations again to you Todd and we wish you all the best at the college level!
