“The Evolution Baseball Program has played a pivotal role in shaping me into the man I am today. Coach Price & the EVO staff not only helped me develop as an individual, but also gave me the opportunity to showcase my skills on some of the biggest stages, consistently. With access to cutting-edge knowledge and technology, the program truly has everything you need to take your game to the next level.”
Connor Hujsak - Mississippi State, Tampa Bay Rays, EVO Alum 2020
“EVO took me in like family from day one and guided me along my path to the next level and eventually to Bryant. The relationships that I have created both with coaches and players are ones that I will have forever. I can’t thank Coach Phil and EVO enough for that.”
Cam Papetti - Bryant University, EVO Alum, 2023
“There was little on the field that I was not prepared for because of my years at EVO. But more important to me looking back was the culture that Phil fostered. The environment was positive and supportive but still expected you to push yourself to achieve your absolute best both physically and mentally.”
Matt Lussier - Fairfield University, EVO ALum 2022
“From the program creed to daily affirmations and team building exercises throughout my years at EVO, it is clear now that EVO was much more than a college preparatory program. It is a place where you are truly challenged everyday, but eventually molded into a hardworking man and baseball player, all thanks to Coach Price.”
Damon Fuller - Merrimack College, EVO Alum 2021
“EVO provided a place that was not only based on important core values and high integrity, but the program is designed to develop players into better athletes and people. Coach Price was instrumental to me as a mentor, coach, and trainer. I will always be grateful for EVO – they brought out the best in me.”
Mike Kurlan - Bard College, EVO Alum 2021
“EVO taught me many core values that I still carry to this day such as accountability, community, and self-confidence. EVO goes beyond your ordinary baseball program. The skills taught, the relationships formed, and the understanding of the mental side of baseball are unlike any other baseball program in New England.”
Cody Smith - Assumption University, EVO Alum 2021
“I was fortunate enough to be a part of EVO’s first team. From the start, I could tell I made the right decision. Not only did I mature as a player, EVO more importantly helps you mature as a teammate and a person which a coach will value at any level.”
Ryan Meyer - Fordham University, EVO Alum 2021
“EVO created an environment that was designed around your intentions of playing college baseball. But in order to achieve that goal, he focuses on your development as a baseball player and a person.”
Brady Gagne - Quinsigamond CC, EVO Alum 2022
“Evolution is not just a travel program, it is a family. Every member of evolution is a brother to one another and everyone pushes one another to get better. You are not just signing up for a travel program when you sign up for EVO, you are signing up for an entire family.”
Nolan Puglisi - Siena College, EVO Class of 2022
“EVO completely changed how I perceived the game of baseball. Coach Phil is extremely passionate, and developed me from an unpolished, undersized kid into a successful player at the division 3 level. The program helped me enjoy baseball even more, and it taught me the importance of hard work when chasing your dreams.”
Trey Borque - Skidmore College, EVO Class of 2021
“EVO taught me how to have an approach to the game, which I believe is what truly helped me develop the most. EVO also taught me how to be a great communicator on and off the field which helped me outside of baseball to communicate with our coaches and college coaches off the field in a respectable manner.”
JR Bozek - Fairleigh Dickinson University, EVO Class of 2022
“EVO developed me as a player and whenever I needed something tweaked in my game, he was always there for me as a mentor. I’m forever grateful for Coach Price and all of the amazing people that work at EVO, because I wouldn’t be where I am today without them all!”
Gabe Pitts - Central Connecticut State University, EVO Class of 2022
“I grew up playing for Coach Price and he held me to a standard that made me into the person/player I am today. I might not play baseball anymore, but the lessons EVO taught me at a young age have helped me succeed playing football at The University of Georgia.”
Ryan Puglisi - Georgia University, EVO Class of 2023
“My gratitude to EVO & Coach Phil for the countless hours invested in my development and the example they have set as mentors, coaches, and friends is hard to put into words. I am so proud to see the program built in EVO and I am even more proud to have called Coach Phil “Coach” for all these years. The future generations of baseball players could not be in better hands. “
John West - Boston College, Arizona Diamondbacks, EVO Alum, Class of 2020
“Being under the guidance of such dedicated coaches, I learned not only how to be a better baseball player but also how to be a better person as the presence of loyalty and friendship is felt throughout EVO. EVO isn’t just a baseball program that I played for when I was 17. It was a family that took me in, helped me improve, and led me to create friendships that will last a lifetime.”
Enger Paulino - Northern Essex, EVO Alum, 2022
“Evolution Baseball played a pivotal role in my life, on the field and off. The facilities are top notch and the coaches and instructors are invaluable. I learned so much about the game in my time there, but I also learned about myself. There is a culture of grit and determination that is lost in a lot of baseball today.”
Caleb Cormier - Wentworth Institute of Technology, EVO Alum, 2023
“I started with Coach Price when I was 10 years old and played with him for 8 years. Alongside my parents he was without a doubt the driving factor in my baseball development and career. EVO’s structure and attention to detail is second to none and I don’t think there’s a better program in New England to get you more ready for college baseball.”
Tyler Mudd - Boston College, EVO Alum 2022
“I’ve been lucky to play with Coach Phil since I was 11 years old and played at Evo since it opened. At EVO, you learn baseball, life skills, and you learn how to be a better person. I made it to college baseball in large part because of Phil and Evo, and the opportunities that they gave me. I left Evo a much better baseball player and a much better person.”
Andrew Eppinger - New Jersey Institute of Technology, EVO Alum 2020

Seneca Hillock- Clark University, EVO Alum 2021
Playing for EVO was one of the most important steps I ever made in my baseball journey. The coaches pushed me to be better, believed in me, and prepared me for what it takes to compete at a Division 1 level. Just as meaningful were the lifelong friendships and connections I built. Teammates and coaches immediately became family. The program shaped me into the person I am today, both on and off the field.
Ben Griffith - Binghamton University, EVO alum, 2022
I am extremely grateful for the impact that EVO had on me both on and off the field. Coach Price and the program brought the best out of me and helped push the limits of my potential. EVO is a family and there is no better place to develop in the Northeast.
Tade Riordan - New Jersey Institute of Technology, EVO alum 2022
EVO was more than a travel program for me, it was a family. In just a few years, Coach Phil and EVO baseball showed me how hard work, dedication, integrity, and teamwork helps leads to success both on and off the field, and to that I can’t give enough thanks and praise. This is an organization not only of talent, but more importantly, of class and character. EVO taught me some of the most important lessons in my life, and introduced me to people and a lifestyle that I am forever grateful for.
