The Fieldhouse Pirates are proud to announce that shortstop Nate Ochoa (Burlington, ON) has announced his commitment to Purdue University (NCAA D1) in West Lafayette, Indiana.

This is Ochoa’s fifth year with the program, and he’s expected to anchor shortstop four our 16U squad this summer.

The commitment comes after a banner year for Ochoa, as he was named to the PBR Future Games team, Tournament 12, and the Canadian Junior National Team.

Purdue comes with a decorated history, which includes 18 Major Leaguers, 70 MLB Draft picks, and a 2012 Big 10 Championship.

On behalf of the Fieldhouse Pirates, we’d like to extend our congratulations to Nate and his family.
