FRESHMAN PHENOM Freshman second baseman Braden Shewmake has impressed at the plate and in the field for the Aggies in his freshman season.

Shewmake experiencing instant success for Aggie Baseball

raden Shewmake’s career at Texas A&M has been marked by positive first impressions.

When he showed up at the Aggies’ summer camp between his sophomore and junior year of high school, he impressed with his athleticism and potential. When he arrived at A&M in the summer as a college freshman it was with his maturity, work ethic and self-confidence. And through the first month of the season it has been with his tremendous on-field production.

The first time the Texas A&M coaching staff laid eyes on Shewmake was on that hot August 2014 day during its annual summer showcase. A bit of an overlooked recruit at the time, the tall, skinny infielder from Wylie had not come across the coaches’ radar to that point.

But after recruiting coordinator Justin Seely saw Shewmake run through some drills, he thought Shewmake had promise and immediately went to work digging up information on him. It took Seely only about three days to make up his mind — he liked the youngster and thought he could fit into the Aggies’ future.

“The intangibles that you saw when he was 15 or 16, you could tell he was going to be a good college player,” Seely says. “Now he’s turned himself into more than that — he’s got a shot to be a really good college player and play for a long, long time.”

Shewmake was relaxing in his room that September when A&M assistant coach Will Bolt called him on the first day the NCAA allows coaches to contact recruits. What followed was a 20-minute conversation and an invitation to come to College Station for a visit. During the visit, the Aggies came through with a scholarship offer.

“When it happened I was shocked,” Shewmake says of SHEWMAKE ON PG. 3

panel discussion, moderated by Steve Inskeep, host of National Public Radio’s Morning Edition.

Panelists will include former Mexican president Felipe Calderón, former director of the National Economics Council Laura Tyson and Congressman Will Hurd, who has more than 800 miles of the United States-Mexico border in his district.

The discussion will focus on the ramifications of the increase in nationalism in the United States, according to Rebecca Matlock, chair for the MSC Wiley Lecture Series and international studies senior.

“The topic we will discuss is the nationalist rhetoric in the United States, and how this rhetoric affects our relationship with Mexico,” Matlock said. “Looking at that through an economic lens, as well as social.

We thought these three individuals would be great to speak on this discussion of United States-Mexico relations.”

Joshua Ratta, vice chair of the Wiley Lecture Series and history senior, said as the student-run organization in charge of the lecture series, a lot of work goes into planning events like this one.

“First we have to start figuring out what the program’s going to be,” Ratta said.

“We also have to get development funds … through grants and donations from former students. Then we have other members who are working on … getting the speakers to campus, how they’re going to go about their time. Then we have other members who try

LEADERSHIP CONTINUED us is that when you’re paired with some sort of mentor, and you reflect, that’s actually what causes development,” Woodruff said. “The type of leaders they become are amazing. It’s amazing to see them have this lifelong commitment to learning and have a much more purposeful practice of leadership.”

Coryne Levine, management senior on the program’s advisory board, said she joined the program her freshman year to get the leadership help she needed to further her future career.

“It ended up being so much more than just a bullet point on my resume. I think what you learn through this program is very personalized to say the least,” Levine said.

“You learn your own idea of what leadership is. It’s not just some title. It’s about how you can be a leader in every day of your life, how you can lead others, and how you can lead yourself.”

Coaches within the program get to know their assigned fellow well, and are able to see areas of leadership students can improve that they may not be able to see themselves. Jaclyn Upshaw-Brown is an adviser in the English Department and a second-year coach for the program.

“I think a lot of times you can get

to market the event.”

Ratta went on to explain the structure of the Wiley lecture series.

“What Wiley does is each year, we put on a total of seven events,” Ratta said. “We have six small ones, which are known as our Symposium Series. These aim for audience size of about 100 to 150 audience members, focusing on current issues that can be discussed by A&M faculty or professors from other campuses. And then in the spring we have our showcase event, what we call our main program. And this is where we bring in as big of a name, as big of a topic as we can put together and have a substantial discussion.”

The panel is a good opportunity to have an expert discussion on foreign policy, said Breanna McKnight, main programming director for the Wiley Lecture Series and philosophy senior.

“It’s definitely a timely topic,” McKnight said. “There’s been a lot of nationalist rhetoric that we have heard throughout the media and different campaigns. It’s something that’s becoming a lot more prevalent, not only in our society, but across the globe, and it’s going to be something that will affect and impact our relationships with other countries. And so we’re specifically looking at how this type of rhetoric will impact the United States and Mexico.”

“America First” will take place at 7 p.m.

Friday in Rudder Theatre. Tickets are $15 for students, or $20 otherwise. A link to buy tickets and/or submit questions can be found at wiley.tamu.edu. through college without really ever being asked to reflect on what you’re learning, and how you’re growing from experiences,” Upshaw-Brown said. “And so a lot of the Maroon and White Program is just encouraging students to start tying all of those experiences together and understanding who those experiences are turning them into as a leader.”

Megan Nicholson also serves as a member on the advisory board, and said she has gained self awareness from her experiences in the program.

“You do not have to be in a leadership position to be in our program. You just have to have the desire to become a better leader,” Nicholson said. “You figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are. Before I did Maroon and White, I was in a leadership position, but I wasn’t intentional about it all, or about getting better.”

Woodruff said he believes college to be an important opportunity for students to have necessary leadership experiences while in a safer environment.

“Leaders are at the crux of everything important and exciting that’s going on in this world,” Woodruff said. “This is not another student organization. This is a place that can take you from where you are, to where you want to be. It just makes you better for the organizations you’re already involved in.”

BASEBALL

The Battalion | 3.30.17

“HE’S SUPER RELAXED AT THE PLATE AND YOU’RE NOT WORRYING ABOUT HIM STRIKING OUT — YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT HOW FAR THE BALL’S GOING TO GO.” Brigham Hill, junior starting pitcher

SHEWMAKE CONTINUED when he saw the offer. “I stopped and looked at my dad trying to figure out what was going on. He played it cool like he knew what was going on, but I had no idea.”

As they were leaving College Station later that day, Shewmake’s dad Shane, who has been the head baseball coach at UT Dallas since he started the program in 2002, badgered him with questions about what he thought of Texas A&M. Braden’s mind was all but made up.

“The first thing out of my mouth was ‘I think I want to go here,’” Braden Shewmake recalls. “I loved everything about this place.

When they threw the offer down I knew this is what I wanted to do.”

A COACH’S SON It isn’t difficult to see that Braden Shewmake is the son of a coach. He carries himself like an experienced veteran, he speaks with incredible polish and he looks advanced beyond his years at the plate. His competitiveness and work ethic are evident as well.

His father’s impact on his baseball career started the first time he picked up a bat. Shewmake started swinging it left-handed, which he soon learned was the side of the plate he was going to swing from no matter what.

“He told me I got lucky I was a left-handed hitter,” Shewmake says with a chuckle, “because if I was right-handed he was going to turn me into a lefty.”

Shane Shewmake always wanted his son to be a shortstop. He specializes in coaching hitting and infielders at UT Dallas, so it’s no surprise his son has dazzled in both aspects in his young career. Braden refined his competitiveness and never-quit attitude while playing quarterback on the football team and as an all-district basketball player, but it was the hours and hours he spent with his dad on the diamond where he learned the nuances of the game and blossomed into an elite talent.

“He’s been a huge help — I give him a ton of credit for everything,” Shewmake says of his dad’s influence. “I grew up taking ground balls with him. There were countless times where I was ready to get out of there and he was like, ‘No, we’ve got one more bucket.’”

That fielding prowess has been on display often so far in 2017. A natural shortstop, Shewmake thought he would play third base his freshman year, but with George Janca also in the picture, the coaches moved him to second base. Shewmake played shortstop in high school and mostly third for his summer team, the Dallas Patriots, but has made a seamless transition to his new position.

“For a guy that’s 6-foot-4, you don’t normally see a guy that can move the way he can on the infield,” says Bolt, A&M’s hitting and infielders coach. “It’s like he takes up the entire right side of the infield when he’s playing.”

Shewmake has made several highlight-reel plays in the field this year and has only made one error in 125 chances, so naturally the A&M pitchers appreciate having him behind them.

“He has incredible range, he’s really fast and he’s got a great arm on him,” says ace pitcher Brigham Hill. “You can’t ask for much more.”

Spencer Russo — THE BATTALION & FILE

Freshman second baseman Braden Shewmake is tied for third in the NCAA with 44 hits and leads the Aggies in most offensive categories this season.

ALL-AROUND SUPERSTAR The Aggies have four different categories of position players in their program: hitters, runners, ballplayers and bombers. Each player gets a card in their locker at the beginning of the season with their group assignment, and each group’s batting practice and hitting drills are tailored to fit the characteristics of its members.

Shewmake is a “hitter,” but he could probably hold his own in any of the groups. He is one of the fastest players on the team and has been the Aggies’ best overall hitter so far this season, possessing both an extra-base power stroke and a team-high .393 average.

“He’s done a remarkable job,” head coach Rob Childress says. “He’s a great leader — he cares about winning and he’s into every pitch.

He understands the game as good as any freshman out there and has an incredible amount of want-to.”

Shewmake arrived in Aggieland in July of 2016, just in time for him and his fellow freshmen teammates to enroll in the second session of summer school at Texas A&M. In addition to learning his way around College Station and taking six hours of classes, Shewmake began working out at A&M’s baseball facilities.

Joel Davis, the Aggies’ senior first baseman, vividly remembers the first time he witnessed

Shewmake’s ability. The 6-foot-4 freshman was taking batting practice over the summer off senior shortstop Austin Homan, and Shewmake deposited five of the first six balls he saw over the fence for home runs.

Then, when Davis saw him carry that success over to fall intrasquad scrimmages, he knew Shewmake was going to be a special player. About halfway through the fall, Shewmake’s teammates knew he was destined to hit in the top three in the batting order on opening day.

“When I saw him in the fall, I knew anything was possible,” Davis says. “It’s almost to the point where when he does something amazing it’s just like, ‘Well, that’s Shew.’ It never really surprises me.”

Brigham Hill was another one of the veterans working out on campus over the summer break, and he quickly became close friends with Shewmake.

“He’s a great person — a very humble guy,” Hill says. “He was one of the hardest workers that I’ve seen from the freshman group and he has a very level head. You can tell when he’s out there that whether he strikes out or hits a home run he’s the same guy.”

To this point in the season, Shewmake has anchored the Aggies’ lineup and been one of the few consistent bright spots for an A&M club that has lost five of its first six SEC games.

Heading into this weekend’s series against LSU, he leads the team in batting average, hits, RBI, total bases, doubles and stolen bases.

Shewmake’s 34 RBI are the most of any freshman in the country, and his 44 hits are tied for third in the nation among all players.

Shewmake vows to not get caught up in the numbers, though, as he tries to maintain his approach at the plate and continue barreling up the baseball.

“I try not to focus on the numbers too much,” Shewmake says. “My dad has nailed into my head all the time to have good at-bats and hit the ball hard. If you hit the ball hard you win; that’s what I think. I’m just trying to hit the ball hard.”

“He’s an animal,” says freshman outfielder Cam Blake. “The stuff you’ve seen so far is going to be the same stuff you see all year, and that’s a testament to the work he puts in.”

All in all, Shewmake is one of the most talented freshman the Aggies have had in a long time, and no one expects him to slow down anytime soon.

“Every time he goes up to the plate you expect something big to happen from him,” Hill says. “He’s super relaxed at the plate and you’re not worrying about him striking out — you’re worried about how far the ball’s going to go.”

Mechanical engineering sophomore Xavier Benavides started a mobile technology device repair company called Mobile-Squared.

A&M student starts affordable phone repair company with big goals in mind

By Rachel Knight @Reknight18 Smartphones, while advanced and important pieces of technology, are more fragile than some users would like them to be, with repairs sometimes costing as much as the phone itself. One college student company looks to repair phones in a more accessible and cost friendly way.

In October 2016, mechanical engineering sophomore Xavier Benavides started a mobile technology device repair company called Mobile-Squared.

Mobile-Squared travels around the Bryan-College Station area fixing phones, iPods and iPads at a cheaper price than companies providing similar services as a means of growing funds to expand to other services that Benavides hopes will one day rival major network providers and Apple services.

The idea to start Mobile-Squared came to Benavides after a skateboarding accident in 10th grade left his iPod screen broken. Benavides took his iPod into an Apple Store to have it fixed and learned that Apple charged $300 for screen repairs at the time. Benavides refused to pay $300 for the repair, and turned to the YouTube community to learn how to fix his device. According to Benavides, word of his successful self-repair spread quickly through his high school.

“In high school I was known as the ‘phone guy,’” Benavides said. “That’s pretty much what got the whole nature of the service going.”

After high school Benavides noticed a growing demand for screen repairs and decided to turn his service capabilities into a business with a

beating heart.

MobileSquared is different from other companies that perform screen repairs because their technicians come to customers and fix screens onsite within 30 minutes to an hour of receiving a call for help. With equipment purchased from an electronics supplier in California, gloves to protect the inside of devices from oil and dirt, and a piece of equipment 3D printed by Benavides, Mobile-Squared technicians are efficient with both their time and their clients.

According to Benavides, providing service is the ultimate goal for his company.

“It’s honestly such a humble and convenient service that we want people to know about,” Benavides said. “We don’t want people to be phoneless or disconnected for three days because they didn’t know who to come to. Service is everything.”

Shelby Mullens, Mobile-Squared COO, graduated from Texas A&M in May of 2016 with a degree in physics. Mullens became involved with Mobile-Squared after fielding a call

from Benavides while working at TEEX, the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service. Mullens said the problem-solving skills she learned as a physicist have helped her as a young entrepreneur.

“It’s always about how you get to the end point and what’s the best [and] cheapest way we can solve problems for people,” Mullens said. “For Mobile-Squared it’s about figuring out how can we provide more services for people. So, I’m a physicist by training, but a problem solver by trade.”

Mullens is working to develop an expansion plan for Mobile-Squared that would put the company at the University of Houston by the end of the year and at University of Texas shortly after.

“We’re really targeting colleges because that’s where there’s the most need,” Mullens said. “So many college kids break their phones, so this plan works for our business

model.”

Bilal Sheikh is a biomedical sciences sophomore at Texas A&M and a Mobile-Squared customer. Sheikh said he was glad to use Mobile-Squared as an Aggie.

After Mobile-Squared repaired his phone it worked almost as good as new.

“You can definitely trust Aggies more,” Sheikh said. “I don’t have a doubt giving my phone to them, and they have a guarantee that it will be as good as new. I’d rather give my phone to an Aggie than just some guy who works at a cell phone store.”

Benavides has also started working on a patent for a device he created to make phone repairs more efficient and easier for technicians. In the future Benavides said he hopes to help solve global problems by using Mobile-Squared technology as an educational tool.

“I’d call myself crazy, but someone else would call me a visionary,” Benavides said. “I am a mind striving for global advancement. If you can simplify me into one sentence, that is pretty much what I am. I just want the world to advance socially, economically and physically… When you have a better life you can focus on human advancement, too.”

‘Traveling Aggies’ to head to Cuba, Caribbean Friday Program offers more than 70 annual trips to countries around the world

By Meredith McCown @meredithrhoads Through the Traveling Aggies program, next week former students and friends will cruise along the coasts of Cuba and the Caribbean islands.

Traveling Aggies is a program through the Association of Former Students which offers more than 70 annual trips to countries on each of the seven continents. Primarily, the travelers on these trips consist of former students and current students, but friends and family are welcome to attend as well. The planned trip package to Cuba has been steadily offered since 2012.

On the upcoming trip — Cuba and Caribbean Vibes — 23 former students and friends of Texas A&M will board the Oceania Marina, a cruise ship on the Oceania Cruise Line.

After former President Barack Obama’s transportation chief flew to Cuba in August of 2016 on the first commercial flight to the country since the 1963 missile crisis, the flow of transit between the United States and Cuba started up again. While the trade embargo still prohibits most United States citizens from traveling to Cuba for tourism, some citizens are permitted to travel to the country for educational, religious or humanitarian reasons.

“Because Cuba has been unavailable to most American tourists … [the travelers] see this as an opportunity to see a part of the world that has been closed to them for a long time,” said Kathryn Greenwade, vice president of the Association of Former Students.

Due to the travel restrictions between the United States and Cuba, Greenwade said the Traveling Aggie trips to the destination were limited, but still possible through People to People travel.

“The trip had to be specifically approved, and all of the ones that we offered were so there was a special exception for People to People travel,” Greenwade said. “It was a trip that was fully allowed by United States regulations, but the travel vendor did have to get special approval for those trips, and there were limited opportunities for those.”

PROVIDED

The Traveling Aggies will go to Cuba after the travel limitations were lifted during the Obama administration.

Regarding the Traveling Aggies program, Greenwade said the vacations provide a chance for former students to expand their horizons in another country.

“It’s one of our programs that helps provide former students an opportunity to engage with each other, engage with the university and see the world while they’re doing it,” Greenwade said.

Greenwade said although most travelers are not acquainted with each other prior to the escapade, the relationships made on the journey continue after the shared experience.

“There will be some that know each other, a lot of times there will be a few couples who decide to travel together, but then most of the people will not know each other before the trip,” Greenwade said. “But by the time the trip ends, they will have formed friendships that will endure long past this trip.”

According to Greenwade, the Traveling Aggies program will offer an upcoming trip geared specifically toward new A&M graduates — a European trip for three weeks at the beginning of the summer.

“The trips range from everything from a four-day trip to the Kentucky Derby, to a two-week photo safari in Tanzania, to right now, we have a group that is in Australia and New Zealand — currently they’re in the Outback,” Greenwade said.

Marisa Liles, travel program operations manager, will serve as the host for the Cuba and Caribbean Vibes trip. She described several excursions that the travelers will have the option to participate in, including tours of old colonial Havana and the history of defending Havana, as well as the Flora and Fauna, a rural Cuban area tour.

“We leave for Miami, our first stop is Costa Maya, then Belize, then Honduras, and we’ll spend two days in Havana,” Liles said. “So at each different port, there’s actually quite a different variety of excursions. There’s anywhere from 10 to 25 different excursion options and those range from a wide variety of different activity levels and interests.”

Steve Holliday, traveler on the upcoming Cuba and Caribbean Vibes trip and Class of 1969, has been on several Traveling Aggie

trips with his wife. He said their favorite destinations are either the Galapagos, Tahiti or the Canadian Rocky Mountain Express.

“On this trip, it’s going to be the time that we’re going to be able to spend in Havana.

It’s obviously a place that we as Americans haven’t been able to easily get to and the trips in the past with the Traveling Aggies, the access to different venues has always been well done,” Holliday said.

As the adventure to Cuba lies ahead within the next week, Liles said she looks forward to the relationships that will be formed on the trip.

“You don’t know who’s going to be on there and what you’re going to get to experience and then you end up with a whole new type of family,” Liles said. “I think that’s going to be magnified on this trip because it is such a unique, inaugural experience for us to all travel together for the first time and so to get to experience something that’s been so limited up until this point … I think will be a very special experience.”

Robert McIntosh: A violation of fair elections in one place is a threat to elections everywhere Robert McIntosh

A

lot of folks have been talking about our recent election, and I thought it was time that I spoke for myself.

The reason I ran for student body president, and won, is the same reason I’m fighting the theft of this election now: To serve and defend the interests and the rights of all Aggies. That doesn’t just mean the ones who voted for me — it also means the ones who didn’t. Because all of us, whatever our candidate preferences, deserve better than what the SGA and the administration have given us.

We have a right to our First Amendment and Due Process protections. We have a right to fair outcomes. We have a right to free elections. And when rights are not respected — that’s when we, as Aggies and as Texans, stand up.

I understand we’re talking about a student election, but it’s my belief that a violation of free and fair elections in one place is a threat to free and fair elections

Let me be clear — I wish ill will towards no one, nor towards the university I ran to serve and love deeply.

What am I asking for? There’s a lot on the table at the personal level. I’ve been denied an office fairly won and suffered reputational damage along the way. But this goes well beyond the personal — the institutions governing our student elections must reform. The student decision makers who saw fit to ignore and overturn the will of the student body need to answer for their decisions. The administration that condoned and counseled them must do the same. And the university must take steps to ensure this never happens again — that there is accountability and fairness in this and all future Aggie elections.
