Uncommitted Spotlight: Pytel Has Genuine Love For The Game

Grant Pytel OF / OF / Novi, MI / 2019

NOVI - At the age of six, Grant Pytel fell in love with the game of baseball.

“I love the competition,” the Novi junior said. “It was back then I decided I wanted to play baseball when I was older.”

That love has not changed, as evident by an unusual desire to get on the field at any time of the day.

“Before last season, before school started, I’d come to the field at 5 a.m. when it was dark outside,” Pytel explained. “I didn’t care, I just wanted to get on the field and work. I tried to get a couple friends to come with me, but it was mostly by myself.

“I’d put a flashlight toward the tee to be able to see. I found it to be very beneficial. Some people thought I was crazy but I’m just trying reach success. I plan to do it again this year. It’s junior year, a very big year.”
