Brandon Fowler

Journey

Born and raised in Richton Park, IL, I played Club with the Chicago White Sox ACE program, Rich Central High School, where I set the single-season stolen base record, earned 3x All-Conference & 3x All-Area Honorable Mention, and made the All-Conference football team. My journey continued at Cardinal Stritch University where I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Sports Management, and then went on to compete professionally in Puerto Rico’s Doble A League.

​

Baseball Found Me

At 8 years old, baseball became more than a game—it was my calling. With natural speed and a strong arm, I felt an undeniable connection to the sport. God placed baseball in my life for a reason, and I embraced it with everything I had.

​

What Sets Me Apart

Hard work, faith, and perseverance define me. I wasn’t always the biggest or the strongest, but I was the most relentless. As a coach, I tailor my approach to each player, helping them see the game in a way that works for them.

 

My Message to You

There is no thing you can't accomplish if you put God first on your pathway, every bit of humiliation has a celebration at the end when you don't stop pushing. If people don't understand your vision that's fine you just have to make the doubters believers, Your story will tell a story just let God write it for you.
