Boomers add two to training camp roster

The spring training roster for the Schaumburg Boomers has been set with the addition of two more players, infielder Nick Kuroczko and catcher Ty Nelson.

Kuroczko, 23, spent the last two seasons as a member of the Frontier League’s Windy City ThunderBolts. A native of San Rafael, Calif., Kuroczko batted .245 with a homer and a career high 24 RBIs last season.

Nelson arrives in Schaumburg as a rookie following a pair of solid seasons at the University of Tennessee-Martin. In his senior campaign, Nelson ranked among the national leaders with a .395 batting average, earning Second Team All-Conference honors in the Ohio Valley Conference. Nelson led the team in average while also posting 20 doubles, 4 triples, and 19 stolen bases to go with 8 homers and 45 RBIs.

With additions of Kuroczko and Nelson, the Boomers now have 36 players in camp vying for 24 spots on the Boomers regular season roster.
