Island Airco Athlete of the Week Whether he’s leading stretches during a cold off-season practice or throwing out a runner in a nail-biting conference game, Roman Schuber attacks every aspect of the game with intent and commitment. He consistently demonstrates integrity and character—even when no one is watching. The impact Roman has made on our baseball program will be felt long after he graduates.
