Rouse comes to Chicago after serving as head coach for four years at Salem University (W.Va.), where he led the Tigers to a program record in wins during the 2019 campaign. Five players under Rouse's guidance were named All-East Coast Athletic Conference selections, and the team earned the American Baseball Coaches Association's Team Academic Excellence Award in three of the past four seasons. In 2018, Rouse guided Salem to their best winning percentage since the program's move to NCAA Division II.
"We are thrilled to welcome Addison Rouse to our Saint Xavier Athletics team," said Allison Kern, Director of Athletics at Saint Xavier. "Our program has a storied history and Coach Rouse distinguished himself from an impressive pool of candidates throughout the search process."
"Coach Rouse has a reputation in the baseball community as an individual of integrity who develops his student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Countless individuals spoke to his superior knowledge of the game, and his talent as a recruiter. I am confident that Coach Rouse's experience and positive energy will translate to elite baseball."
"On behalf of me and my family, I am truly honored and humbled to be Saint Xavier University's next head baseball coach," added Rouse. "We know that this is a baseball program with a rich history, invested alumni, supportive community, and championship-caliber expectations."
"We ask for your support, care, and acceptance into the Cougar family; this is a bold and brave move for our family, with God leading the way as we strive to follow His mission and purpose for our life. We are prepared, eager, and all-in on SXU. Family is our creed; culture is what we do. Championships are what we will win."
Prior to Salem, Rouse was head coach at Eastern Nazarene College (Mass.), where he led his players to multiple All-Commonwealth Coast Conference selections and the CCAC Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Rouse graduated from Brescia University (Ky.), where as a student-athlete he won a KIAC championship and had two appearances in the NAIA tournament as a KIAC All-Academic Team selection.
As part of our COVID-19 safety plan, the indoor sessions traditionally held on the first day of camp will be shared online.
Sessions will be accessible for the week prior to camp. They are available on-demand and can be completed at the athlete's
convenience.
This approach allows us to continue offering these valuable sessions so athletes arrive to camp ready to maximize the experience,
while still maintaining a safe experience.

Coach, USA Baseball
The most unique thing that makes EXACT different from other camps is how they teach the athletes how to talk to coaches and hold a conversation with a college coach. The camps offer a great opportunity to gain exposure that they wouldn't get otherwise. Not only do they allow players to showcase themselves in front of college coaches, they will also receive an evaluation on how they performed throughout the day.
Parent
My son attending your camp over the weekend and I must tell you that it was an amazing experience for both of us. I was very impressed with the one on one contact with the coaches representing California. This camp has opened my son's eyes to all the talented ball players that are competing for baseball positions within the organizations. He was given guidance to improve his performance on the field as well as in the classroom. I am so glad we were able to take part in this camp, again it was an amazing experience. Also, the attention given to the parents on understanding the process and knowing what to expect was an eye opener to us. I truly look forward to the next one and cannot wait to see how my son has improved on the field. He is also working on improving his GPA, like you mentioned it about their transcripts not how fast they can throw. Thank you for the wonderful insight and we look forward to future camps with ExactSports.
Coach
This camp was unique in that it embraced a competitive atmosphere for the majority of the time the kids were out on the field. It enabled the coaches to see not only a players skills on the diamond, but their competitive make up as well. This aspect of the EXACT Baseball Camp keeps the day up tempo and fun for everyone involved.
