Chevalier Goes from Little East to Far East

From Stuart Kaufman, Sports Information:

As a middle infielder for the Keene State baseball team the past four years, Jamie Chevalier ‘09 was responsible for keeping his teammates on their toes, taking signs from the catcher, positioning the defense, and communicating who would take the bag on relays or steal attempts.

Chevalier will take his communication skills to a new level when he travels to South Korea in August to spend a year in Seoul, teaching English to Korean businessmen.
“I always wanted to travel and teach, and this is an opportunity to do both,” said Chevalier, who earned his degree in English literature in May. “I’ve always been intrigued with the Far East.”

Chevalier will live in the upscale community of Gangnam, not far from the bustling business district. A three-time All-Little East infielder and Gold Glove winner as a junior, he hopes to stay involved with the sport. “They love baseball over there and had a good showing in the World Baseball Classic,” he said. “I’m hoping to hook up with a team, even if it’s amateur ball just for fun.”
