Chase Brewster

age: 31 | Baseball Coach | Owner of Sticks Baseball

Chase Brewster, the owner of Sticks Baseball, admits that his entire life revolves around the sport.  Whether watching his players during their high school season, traveling during the week to watch his current players, or seeing his former players (like Jaden Hill) play during a weekend college series, Chase enjoys all things baseball.

Sticks Baseball, based out of Arkansas, Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Canada, is a fall and summer baseball program that has over 400 high school players.  Chase is in charge of everything that has to do with the high school program, including roster placement, scheduling, budgeting, travel, and college advancement.  “Being from Texarkana, we have built great relationships with other baseball people from here such as Shane and Frank Halter who run our Sticks Baseball youth program here in town, and Dustin Moseley who trains our players in Little Rock, Arkansas,” Chase says. “The drive and passion behind why I do what I do is helping players chase their dreams of playing college baseball and hopefully getting drafted one day. Baseball is a great tool that helps players get an education and travel the world.  We hope every kid that plays for the Sticks can be successful.”

Marrying his wife, Alisha, in front of all of their friends and family this past November was a great personal achievement for Chase.  The ushers were all former players who played for the Sticks, and several of the coaches who watched Chase grow up were able to attend.  “Many of our closest friends were in the wedding party, like Kameron Forte, who was my best man,” Chase explains.  “It was a great day with a ton of people involved.”

Being a part of the coaching staff at Genoa Central High School, with Jonathan Gosdin and Kevin Huff, and winning the 2012 and 2014 3A State Championship in baseball was a great accomplishment for Chase. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a great team and community that in a three-year span had a record of 91-6 and three conference championships,” he admits.  “Owning my own business and being in charge of so many different moving pieces in several different states is also something that I am extremely proud of.”

Best piece of advice:

“Treat every kid like you would treat your own.” –Dirk Kinney, scout for the St. Louis Cardinals and Sticks Baseball assistant coach
