I am excited and grateful to announce my commitment to TCNJ to continue my academic and baseball career!

First and foremost, I thank my Savior, Jesus Christ, for closing and opening doors and putting me exactly where He wants me to be. At times, I couldn’t see the purpose or t looking back, I can see He was guiding me every step of the way. I’ve been blessed by every experience throughout this journey.

To my parents, thank you for the countless hours and miles we traveled to visit college after college, helping me find the right fit. Thank you for giving me every opportunity possible, even when it meant so many nights away from home. I will forever be grateful for your love, support, and belief in me. I could never have done any of this without you.

Thank you to every single coach who has been part of this journey—and I mean everyone. Each of you has guided and shaped me in some way, helping me become a better player and making me love this game even more.

Finally, thank you to the TCNJ coaches for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to take what I love to the next level. From the moment I stepped on campus and onto your field, TCNJ felt like home. Excited for what’s ahead. Go Lions!

Thank you to the @BASEBALLTCNJ coaching staff for a great prospect game! Had a great time competing and learning about TCNJ and your program. Excited for what’s ahead!

Back at it with the boys....started the season with a little flag football.

We are officially BACK!

Our crew brought the noise at the Pep Rally, had a great time at the Homecoming Dance, and opened the Challenger season with Flag Football vs Central Regional.

Great job this weekend!!!

Thanks @SJUHawks_Base for a great Team Camp this past weekend! I had a great time competing and learning. Really appreciate the opportunity.

Another great experience at the @IMPACTBASEBALL_ Showcase. Grateful for the opportunity to compete with top talent and play in front of college coaches.
Thank you for a great event.

98 EV / .347 AVG / .933 OPS athletic 2027 infielder with a strong academic profile.

Declan Brain | 2027 MIF/3B
6’1” | 175 lbs | 3.88 GPA | Rank: 30/260

98 MPH Exit Velocity
88 MPH INF Velocity
6.9 60-Yard
.347 AVG
.933 OPS

Brain brings a strong combination of offensive h and athleticism to the infield. The 98 MPH exit velo stands out, while a 6.9 60 and 88 MPH across the diamond add to the overall tool set.

Strong student as well with a 3.88 GPA and top academic standing in his class.
