Brockly, an outfielder/second baseman from Celina, Ohio, batted .368 with nine doubles, one triple, six home runs, 26 RBI, 36 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases in 27 games as a senior at Celina High School. He was named to the Western Buckeye League Second Team and the Daily Standard Dream Team Second Team as both a junior and senior. He was also selected to the All-District First Team as a senior.

“Brian has had a solid career at Celina,” said MVNU coach Keith Veale, who has posted a 676-331 record in 20 seasons at the helm of the Cougars. “He has played in a baseball-rich program and has been a vital contributor. He plays outfield and hits from the left side. We see him as a tough competitor with the chance to hit up in the lineup as his career unfolds. His running speed and arm strength will allow him to compete in all three outfield positions. He is a young man who wants to be at MVNU and we are looking forward to getting him involved in the program.”

In addition to playing baseball for Celina High School and for four years on the Celina ACME summer team, Brockly has been involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He was also selected as a scholar-athlete all four years.

“There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Brockly of his college choice. “I like the atmosphere and the great baseball program. It is also a Christian school that will help keep me close to God.”

MVNU is an NAIA school that competes in the American Mideast Conference. The Cougars posted a 35-21 overall record in 2009 and advanced to the semifinals of the National Christian College Athletic Association National Tournament. The team also qualified for the NAIA playoffs for the 19th time in the past 20 seasons. Over the years, MVNU has had 13 players drafted by Major League teams including Tim Belcher, who was the top pick overall in the 1983 draft. Seven other former players have signed free agent contracts to play professional baseball.
