From dusk till dawn, all of Trevor Cho, senior’s, time has been consumed with baseball. Whether major league, college, high school or travel, Cho has amassed a superior knowledge of the sport both on and off the field.  Cho, a shortstop for Homestead, has his eyes set on the future as the summer league season is just over the horizon.

But that’s not all.

Cho has decided to continue his endeavors on the baseball diamond by committing to St. Cloud State on a baseball scholarship.

“When I was really little, I dreamed of going to Concordia and playing there, but I was lucky that a lot of schools talked to me and in the end, I had to make the best decision for me, and I picked St. Cloud State,” Cho said.

Cho’s life has always revolved around baseball. When he was still in his crib, his dad would throw a ball to him while he held a bat and he tried to get some batting practice.  Mr. Cho played baseball in both high school and college, so playing baseball has always been at the top of Cho’s list.

A baseball never seemed more than a stone’s throw away as Cho and his father constantly watched games at County Stadium, Miller Park and Rennicke Field. After watching Homestead play, Cho grew up with the mindset of playing at that level and becoming the next Jordan Rennicke, Casey Barnes or Mike Fierstein and being able to play games against “the big time Germantowns, Cedarburgs and West Bend Wests,” according to Cho.

Cho has worked under Coach Ernest Millard, baseball coach, for the entirety of his high school career. Through the highs and lows, Coach Millard has seen what makes Cho the athlete he is today.

“Trevor has separated himself from so many other athletes through hard work and dedication. He has put more time in bettering himself as a baseball player than any other athlete I have worked with in my 23 years as head coach. He absolutely loves to play baseball,” Coach Millard said.

According to Coach Millard, St Cloud State is getting a young man that will, “work hard in the classroom and on the baseball field each and every day, and someone who understands the concept of team and most importantly, is an individual of extremely high character. He treats his peers with respect.”

Coach Millard is not the only one who admires Cho’s character. Coach Patrick Dolan, St. Cloud State head baseball coach, is elated to have Cho on the team next year. “Trevor is a gamer. He’s obviously very talented but he also puts a lot of hard work into his game. We are very fortunate to have him be a part of our husky baseball family,” Coach Dolan said.

Having the opportunity to play in college has proven to be pivotal in Cho’s life. “It was always a dream to go onto the next level and play, and I feel blessed that I have been able to compete at that level for three years and now I have one more to go,” Cho said.

Cho, however, is not getting caught up in all the college baseball hype, as he still has one more season of high school ball to go. “I’m really looking forward to my future and I’m ready for college baseball, but I’m not in a rush to get there because I still have business to finish with Homestead,” Cho said.
