17yo Aussie Patrick Crotty is going pro.

Raised by his mum as the youngest of four after his dad passed away when he was 1, the Queenslander has always pushed through challenges.

That included a shoulder surgery that saw him miss significant time.

My latest feature is on Chris Burke. He's an Australian who's played for his country in the U15, U18, U23 and APBC tournaments.

Now, he makes his WBC debut.

It's a story on maturity, perseverance, connection and growing up Green & Gold.

Check it out: https://t.co/00ZTxFNNxE

[Team Australia ⚾️ @TeamAusBaseball]

“I’m the person I want to be when I am playing for Australia.” 🇦🇺

“My head is extremely clear. There’s one goal and that’s to win. I don’t care about stats. I care about our teammates and I care about winning.”

Chris has worn the green and gold for nearly a decade.

U15 → U18 → U23 → APBC.

Years of tournaments. Big moments. Awards. Setbacks. Lessons.

Now he’s earned his first World Baseball Classic call-up.

Some journeys don’t start at the WBC.
They grow into it.

Read the full Chris Burke story and his journey through the program in our latest feature via the link below.
