Future Wolverine Tate Carey

Carey is heading down I-94 to the University of Michigan to pitch for the Wolverines. A member of the Junior National Team, Carey played for the Great Lake Canadians this past summer. "It was huge, all the exposure I got was great. There wasn’t a school or pro team that didn’t see me pitch. It was cool travelling all around the US and seeing where I stack up against other players in my class."

A multi-sport athlete, Carey liked whatever sport was in front of him but says his love for baseball grew during the pandemic. "I would go outside and play catch and hit all day long. That’s when I grew a love for the game more and stuck with it."

Carey points to many for his success including his coaches, teammates and family. He'd like to take his passion as far as he can. "The dream is to be a starter on a major league team eventually and have a successful career." Carey said. "In the end I just want to be successful and happy with the decision I made and things I’ve done in life."
