FAU Baseball: Nolan Schanuel looks to improve his skills at the plate this season

Schanuel was named to the All-C-USA Conference second team and freshman teams last season.

Many kids grow up playing a sport in the United States, but most don’t start before they celebrate their first birthday, like sophomore first baseman Nolan Schanuel.

“I grew up playing [baseball], my father and my mother took me out to the field every day when I was little [and] they would throw to me,” he said. “I think I was 10 months old and they threw my first pitch and it was insane.”

The Boynton Beach native started working with the team to earn his spot on the roster and he knew from the moment he first arrived on campus that he chose the right school.
