A two-time team MVP and three-year team captain, Stephen was named as a finalist for the 2006 Illinois State Hitting Derby after a senior season in which he hit .392 with 32 RBI and 25 runs scored.  Stephen was an All-North Suburban Conference pick and a two-time All-Lake County selection.

Now Stephen is heavily involved in youth baseball in his hometown of Lake Forest developing a training program for Lake Bluff travel baseball.

Coach Stone’s comments on Stephen Konsler – “Stephen was one of my first students when I moved to Chicago in 2004.  I trained both of his brothers, Kevin (played at Illinois State U.) and Ryan (still plays at John Carroll College).  I always knew I wanted Stephen to teach with me when he finished college baseball because of his personality and interaction with others.  Stephen has a high-energy, infectious personality that is contagious to others and will get kids excited about playing baseball.  Plus, by training under our system for 6 years as a player, there may be no one that knows that system better than Stephen.”
