Not all playing careers are created equal.

Tyrell Nelson (Springfield Gardens 2022) son of late Chermon & Luis, grandson to Margo & Cleveland has earned a roster spot with SUNY Plattsburgh College Baseball team .

Tyrell is a top of the class student his entire life. During his time with his grandparents made it known that school came first then baseball. This mentality was instilled at an early age for him and his twin sister Sky.

Entering college, Tyrell made the mature decision to dedicate himself to getting acclimated to the challenges college often presents first and become a better baseball player without being a member of the team during the school year.

Ty went on to play in the challenging ACBL once he came home from school for the summer to make sure he was ready for the opportunity to try out the fall of 2023.

Fast forward to today, Tyrell and the Cardinals are set to open up the 2024 season March 3rd vs SUNY Cobleskill.

We are absolutely thrilled for Tyrell and his family. The Cardinals have a great player and an even better person the next 4 years. We look forward to tracking Tyrell’s progress over his career.
