Hello! My name is Carlos Villavicencio, born and raised in West New York, New Jersey. I majored in exercise science at the School of Environmental & Biological Sciences at Rutgers University. Shortly a year after graduating, I was very fortunate to find a home within the Baseball Assistance Team.

The Baseball Assistance Team's annual Winter Meetings included a meeting between B.A.T. administrator Katie Lentz and former Padres employee Stacey Gregg, whom the organization helped with financial assistance after doctors found a large cancerous tumor in her abdomen and removed it.
