Nate Manley is a member of the Wright State University Baseball team that ended their 2025 season by eliminating the overall number 1 National Seed, Vanderbilt University, before the Regional Final. This was a first in the history of the NCAA Tournament.

Prior to playing at Wright State, Nate played at Nationally known, Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, OH. Nate was able to start at catcher for three years of varsity, which is very uncommon, and concluded his high school career by winning the 2023 Division 1 State Championship.

During our conversation, Nate shares about the importance of the brotherhood he was a part of with Moeller and the Cincinnati Spikes summer program, and how it continues to help me today. He also shared advice about controlling what you can control, not relying on others for accountability, and what it means to be delusional.
