Patriot Alumni Travis Lites Plays All Nine Positions for Ram’s Win!

Junior Travis Lites is listed on the Ram’s baseball roster as “utility player”.

Tuesday night at Foster Field, Lites lived up to that term, playing all nine positions as the Rams defeated the Hardin Simmons Cowboys 14-6.

“It was a lot of fun,” Lites said. “It’s definitely something I will never be able to experience again.”

Prior to the start of the game, head coach Kevin Brooks only told Lites to “be ready”.

Lites started the game in his everyday right field position, but was moved to center and left throughout the first two innings.

“I didn’t know why,” Lites said of the position changes during the first two innings. “He (Brooks) just told me to go, I had no idea nine was coming my way.”

When Lites went in at third base to start the third inning, he began to realize something was up.

He entered at shortstop for the fourth, second base in the fifth and played first base during the sixth inning.

By the time the seventh inning came around, Lites had already played seven different positions, needing only to pitch and play catcher to become the first Ram to ever complete the rare feat.

Lites took the mound in the seventh, making his second appearance at pitcher this season.

The first and only batter he faced sent Lite’s offering over the left field wall.

Brooks quickly made the call to the bullpen, and Lites strapped on the catcher’s gear during his replacement’s warm up pitches.

Lites finished off the seventh at catcher, accomplishing the task in just seven innings of play.

“It’ something I wanted to do last year,” Brooks said. “Travis is versatile, he can go play all of them, shortstop would probably be his weakest and pitcher, he is not good there.”

Offensively, Lites was 2-for-4 with a run scored, as the Rams collected 19 hits against the Cowboys.

Twenty-three different players saw action for ASU, six of them joining Lites with multiple hits in the game.

Winning 11 of their last 14 games, the Rams head into the final series of the regular season this weekend.

Beginning Friday, the Rams host Texas A&M – Kingsville for a four-game set at Foster Field.

The Rams will look to lock up a spot in the Lone Star Conference Tournament with at least on win against the Javelinas, improve on their current fourth seed with multiple wins.

“The biggest thing, regardless of results, I just hope we keep playing hard,” Brooks said. “This weekend we need to hit well and find a way to score some runs, and our pitching needs to continue to get better.

“If we can do that I’ll feel pretty good going into the conference tournament.”

Mitch Abeita-New York Yankees

New York Yankee- Hey, this is Mitch Abeita. I was thinking back to the times I had with the patriots, and I wanted to write this email. I would like to thank Logan Stout, Ron Stout, Bryan Whitsell, Jason Smiga, and ole Bubba Robey. Those were the coaches of my years but im sure the coaching staff is still outstanding. It all started at the baseball academy, where I was taking a lesson, and Logan Stout watched me hit.  He then told me I could try out for his team; I was 16. Now when I tried out for other teams, I was never nervous, but when I saw some of the competition, I was a little.  Recruiting has gone very well for the Dallas Patriots. I really enjoyed the road trips, and pure summers we all spent together. And I thank God that I was at the baseball field, instead of other places. Everyone should enjoy their summertime, so good luck and have fun playing. - Mitch Abeita, New York Yankee

Kyle Hancock-Colorado Rockies

Logan Stout and the Dallas Patriots Family,   Where do I begin?! I would like to first say that I was absolutely blessed to have the opportunity to be apart of the Patriot Family. Logan Stout is an individual who I have nothing but praise for. Here is an individual who does what he does for all of the right reasons. I was lucky enough to play on the first Dallas Patriots 16U team back in 2004 as we ended in Championship fashion winning the AABC Mickey Mantle World Series title. Logan and his staff are some of the finest in the Nation and it has proven to be vital in my baseball success to this day! The experience that a Dallas Patriot ballplayer goes through is second to none. Simply having the logo on your hat stands for so much.   I was a 15 year old kid who just wanted to play baseball. Logan approached me at a game I was filling in for and we had a conversation about the future. Being a fan of baseball first, he began to tell me the individuals I would have the chance to share the field with. Brad Glenn (University of Arizona/Toronto Blue Jays), Pat McCrory (University of Texas/Baltimore Orioles), just to name a couple. Wow! If I remember correctly more than half of our team received Division I scholarships and even a few of us were lucky enough to be drafted. Logan played a huge role in educating me through my recruiting days. Whether it happened to be media, papers, letters, Logan was very helpful in those areas. I ended up signing a letter of intent with The University of Arkansas although surpassed college after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies with the 87th Overall pick in the 2005 draft. It all comes back to my days as a Patriot. The lessons and fundamentals of not only the game, but the life of a ballplayer that were instilled in me are absolutely priceless.   I sincerely thank Logan for the belief he had in me and for the opportunity he provided me to pursue my dream. I was truly blessed to have had experienced those years with such great people and great players. Once again, Thank You and I wish the Patriot Family nothing but the best in the future! "United we stand, Divided we fall, All for one and One for All"  Kyle Hancock-Colorado Rockies

Parker Sheets-University of Texas-Tyler

Dear Logan Stout and The Dallas Patriots Organization, One of the first things that my son Parker learned after joining the Patriot’s Organization was to always be prepared. Firstly from the standpoint of his appearance (as witnessed by his getting dressed down by how he looked at his first practice) and secondly from his demeanor and effort. “You never know when someone is watching you” he was told. Well, it happened. Parker was noticed. I can’t tell you if it was because of one of the numerous showcases that he participated in with the Patriots, a tournament, one of many practices, a regular league game, or by participating in the instructional camp that you offer in the off-season. I can only tell you this, you and your coaches have gone the extra mile to allow for my son and many others, the exposure that is necessary for a special opportunity to take place. The chance to fulfill their dream of playing baseball in college is the culmination of a lot of time, effort and commitment. I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative my wife Kevyn and I are of your influence on Parker’s development as a ballplayer and as a young man. We are elated at the prospects of him joining one of the most successful programs in the nation at The University of Texas at Tyler. With heartfelt thanks, Mark Sheets

Hunter Harris-University of Texas

Hello to all you Patriots out there. I would like to take this time to thank Logan Stout and the Patriots for all the opportunities they have given me. Being from a small town in East Texas I wasn’t getting any exposure for college baseball or professionally. But after playing for the Patriots I had my pick of colleges and now I am playing for The University of Texas. This is a dream that I could have never fulfilled without Logan and the Patriots. I will always remember the first day I tried out for the Patriots and the first time I met Logan. I knew I was in the right place. And now after a Mickey Mantle World Series Championship, and three of the most exciting years of baseball and friendships I have ever had, I can proudly say that I am and always will be a Patriot. Sincerely, Hunter Harris  (2005)
