Brian Vigo-Suarez – CEO 11u Head Coach
My name is Brian Vigo-Suarez, founder and CEO of V8 Baseball Academy and V8 Indoor Training. I was born and raised in Carolina, Puerto Rico. My baseball career started when I was 2 ½ years old. I played in Puerto Rico until I was 13 in the Arrevica Baseball League. When I was 14, I decided to pursue my baseball career and moved to Fort Worth, TX. I played high school baseball at Fossil Ridge High School and was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 21st round in 2009. I decided to go to college instead and went to Navarro College my freshman year, then transferred to Vernon College my sophomore year. After a successful sophomore year, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma offered me a scholarship to play baseball. I attended my Junior and Senior year at USAO and earned the All Conference Player and ALL AMERICAN award my senior year. In 2013, the St. Louis Cardinals gave me the opportunity to sign as a free agent.
Due to an injury my baseball career ended in 2015, which lead me to start a new passion coaching and developing a younger generation. I started coaching for the Texas Barrons in 2016, 13u and 14u. Fast forward to August 2021, I decided to pursue my vision and started V8 Baseball Academy organization.
