Trent Britt – Next Level Training Center https://nextleveltc.com Eastern NC’s Premiere Baseball & Softball Training Facility Sun, 05 Jul 2026 12:26:08 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Parker Simo Commits To ECU Baseball! https://nextleveltc.com/parker-simo-commits-to-ecu-baseball/ Sun, 05 Jul 2026 12:26:08 +0000 https://nextleveltc.com/?p=21324 Congratulations to PARKER SIMO (JH Rose ‘27) on his commitment earlier this week to ECU⚾️! The Junior left-handed pitcher went 7-1 this past year with 55Ks in 47IP…..continued….He performed extremely well for Region 1 in the Body Armor State Games last month & has continued elevating his performance since. We have had a front-row seat to Parker pitching since 9 years old (Pictured Here in Middle School) & have enjoyed these last few weeks, getting to discuss him with coaches. Former longtime MLB manager & now motivational speaker Clint Hurdle often uses the term “Guts & Nuts” to describe a player’s internal attributes…and that is certainly what Parker pitches with. He performs well outside of his God-given frame. He is well-aware that NOW the real work begins and we’re excited to see it & be part of it. Congratulations to Parker & the Simo family!

I’ve enjoyed getting to know Jamari over the last couple of years and we’ll be excited to get to continue to follow him as he moves on to the Tigers program. Congratulations Jamari!

Batting Clean-Up & playing 1B (plays 1B, 2B, CF, LF, RF) last Friday night, he hammered the 1st pitch of his 1st At Bat 400 feet off the wall for the incredibly rare Professional Inside-The-Park Home Run! He followed that up with a traditional Home Run over the RCF wall his next at bat. His 1st & 2nd HRs of the young season. He finished the night 2-4 with a walk, 2HRs, 5RBI!!!
I’d told him earlier in the day that I was coming and bringing a 3-Barrel night with me, haha. Wasn’t off by much and I was so pumped to have been blessed enough to be there to see it!
Awesome night Dixon & we’re following! Go Braves!

We’ve been blessed to work with him all along the way. And he allowed us to be involved in his recruiting process all along the way. In the end, he achieved what my wish is for everyone who is blessed with his talent level…he got offers from the two places he most wanted to play at & HE got to make the decision.
Harrison is one of the most Explosive Athletes in our building. He works hard. In ALL areas of development. And he understands he’ll need to now elevate that preparation. He’s talented. We appreciate the BIG ENERGY he brings with him wherever he goes, usually BOUNCING in here. He elevates the energy in a room…He is an absolute ENERGY GIVER.
But most of all, we appreciate THE RELATIONSHIP & are really excited for both he and his family. UNC⚾️ got a really good one & a really fun one!
Congratulations again to Harrison and the Corey family!
