Årets Nyförvärv Del 5

I del 5 av årets nyförvärv så kan vi stolt presentera comebacken av vår Svensk/amerikan, Nick Soubiea!

Kan du berätta lite kort om dej själv, om vem du är?

Hello everyone! Hmm who am i...well I am now 32 years old and currently living in a tiny apartment with a french balcony in Nacka. I graduated from Linköpings University 2017 and have a bachelor's degree in furniture design which is my passion besides baseball. I was born in Sweden and moved to California when I was 6 years old. I am also a big time Oakland A’s fan!

Många vet att du varit delaktig och spelat med Sundbyberg tidigare.
Skulle du kunna sammanfatta vad du hunnit med att göra inom baseballen fram tills idag?

I am honored to be a Sundbyberg Heat veteran and happy to still be a part of the team. I am especially happy to see many of the younger guys and girls I played with are still playing at an elite level.

I played my first full season with Sundbyberg Heat 2006. My first game pitching I ended up tossing a perfect game against Alby (in 7 innings but who's keeping track). We also won SM-guld that year which was amazing.

My baseball career spans over 20 years split between playing in California, Oregon and Sweden. I played 6 years with the National Team 2006-2012. One of my favorite baseball moments was with the National Team in Stuttgart, Germany. After two days of rain delays and a well pitched game by our pitchers I came in as a closer against Italy having never even been a closer before. We were leading the game 3-2 against the Italians who had not lost a game in the tournament. Fortunately, I was able to shut Italy down in dramatic fashion. Our win allowed us to continue in the tournament instead of being sent home.

Comeback för Sundbyberg Heat, vad var det som fick dej att vilja göra det?

I feel many can relate to me when I say that it all depends on your situation in life. Baseball is time consuming and if I wanted to play I wanted to be serious and dedicated. I have missed playing baseball and the baseball culture. I feel I am in a good place now to help the team win games.

Vad har du för förväntningar av laget och föreningen? Vad har du för mål med denna säsong, och även blickat framåt utöver denna säsong?

I expect everyone on the team and those involved in the club to be professional on and off the field, to respect each other and to have fun at practice and games. My goal for this year is simple, to have fun and contribute to the team where I am needed. In the coming seasons I plan to be in better shape so i can be a starting pitcher again for Sundbyberg Heat.

Vad tror du att du kan tillföra laget denna säsong?

Everyone knows me as a pitcher but my goal this year is to make the team as a starting outfielder. I also want to hit a triple because realistically I won’t hit a homerun.

Vad vill du säga till alla Sundbyberg Heat fans? Vad har de att se fram emot i år?


Let’s win together. Nothing beats the feeling of winning.
