About The Founder
I'm Nick Lopez, a baseball player born and raised in Orange County whose path has been anything but traditional. From limited playtime in high school to a gap year fully dedicated to development, my journey has always been fueled by resilience and belief in what is possible. That mindset helped me earn a Division I scholarship to the University of Illinois Chicago, continue my growth at Santa Ana College, walk on and excel at the University of Southern California in the PAC-12, and finish my college career at the University of Kentucky, where I became an All-American, First Team SEC selection, and helped lead the Wildcats to the College World Series.
After college, my career took another exciting step when I was selected to join the Texas Tailgaters in Banana Ball. In my first full season I earned recognition as a Rookie of the Year nominee, an All-Star MVP, and a Franchise Player. Competing in Banana Ball pushed my creativity, athleticism, and love for the game to new levels. I am committed to continuing my growth and inspiring the next generation of athletes to chase their own path, no matter how unconventional it may be.
