2013 Male Player: Scott Klein

Scott Klein

Scott Klein has played over 30 years of USSSA softball, while participating on 13 State Championship teams, 10 National Invitational teams, 3 National Championship teams and 1 World Champion.

While playing primarily 3rd base, he has a lifetime batting average of .640 and has smacked over 300 homeruns in his career.

He has earned numerous individual all-state, all national, and all-world honors while participating with Illusions, Snap On/Kluever, Safecar, Precision, Ken Beverage, and K A Softball teams. Scott says, I loved all of our coaches, from Smiley, to Kluever, Dave C, and Ken Adams.

Scott also states, “ I have been lucky to play this game for a long time with guys that respected the game and knew how to play together. I think that is why we have won so much, as we actually care for each other. I have gained some great friendships that will last a lifetime.” He also reflected on how the Illinois USSSA has provided opportunities by saying, “I think the Illinois USSSA has always been great, because the best players play there and it has allowed me to compete against the greatest players across the country.”
