Vantuyle started playing baseball when he was five years old. He played a lot of sports, but baseball was the one that stuck, “It was really fun to play.” Vantuyle believes his best help comes from his teammates and coaches whenever he needs them. As we know all players must practice; Vantuyles is no exception.
