Dynasty Grows To Seven Baseball Clients, With Two In The Mariners Organization

Gainesville, FL – [February 3, 2009], Dynasty Athlete Representation, LLC is proud to announce the expansion of its Baseball Division to seven signed clients with the addition of Nick Czyz.  Czyz was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 2008 and just finished his first season with the Divisional Champion, Pulaski Mariners.

Nick Czyz had a very impressive first year within the Seattle Mariners organization.  Besides leading his team to a Division Championship, Czyz was named MVP of Pulaski’s Starting Pitching staff by Scott Sepich of Scout.com.  In fourteen games and 57.1 innings of work, he had a 6-5 record and struck out 54 batters.

Czyz went to high school at Blue Valley West in his hometown of Overland Park, Kansas before accepting a scholarship to the University of Kansas.  One of the most memorable moments in his young baseball career came in his freshman year, where he started in the Big XII Tournament championship and picked up the win.  Even though Czyz has experienced a ton of success on the field, he is committed to being an educated person outside of baseball.  He is currently finishing up his college degree majoring in Economics with a minor in Business.

All of us at Dynasty welcome Czyz to the family.
