Brett Thaler Named Commissioner of the Volunteer State Baseball League

The Volunteer State Baseball League is proud to introduce Brett Thaler as its Commissioner. With a lifelong love for the game and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at every level, Thaler brings experience, energy, and vision to this new role.

Baseball has always been a constant in Thaler’s life. A native of Middletown, New Jersey and graduate of Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School, he went on to play collegiately at Centenary College (NJ) in 2004, Lynn University (FL) from 2005–2006, and Trevecca Nazarene University (TN) from 2007–2008.

After his college career, Thaler continued his baseball journey at the professional level, playing for the Worcester Tornadoes of the CAN-AM League in 2008 and the Alexandria Aces of the Continental League in 2009. Those experiences — both collegiate and professional — helped shape his appreciation for player development and the unique opportunities summer baseball provides.

Now, as Commissioner of the Volunteer State Baseball League, Thaler is driven by the same passion that fueled his playing days.

“I’m excited about giving college baseball players the opportunity to play in a summer college baseball league,” Thaler said. “There’s nothing better than competing, improving, and growing alongside teammates who share your love for the game.”

Thaler’s leadership marks an exciting step forward for the Volunteer State Baseball League, which aims to create meaningful summer opportunities for college athletes while building a strong sense of community around the game.

With Thaler at the helm, the league is poised to deliver a true summer baseball experience — one built on passion, competition, and opportunity.
