Three Student-Athletes Sign National Letters of Intent
Three Belen Jesuit student-athletes signed their national letters of intent to play baseball at the collegiate level on November 13. Congratulations to Christian Eiroa - Florida International University, Roger Cainzos - Manhattan College and Alex Morales - Rutgers University.
“We are thrilled and proud of each of these seniors who have been so committed to their game and worked so hard to get to this point in their lives,” said Jerry Albert, Head Baseball Coach. “Each is headed to a program that is a perfect fit for their future, both on the field and in the classroom.”
In general, over 7% of high school athletes (about 1 in 14) go on to play a varsity sport in college and less than 2% of high school athletes (1 in 54) go on to play at NCAA Division I schools.
“I am proud of our baseball players who, as true student-athletes, have achieved the Magis - both on the field and in the classroom. Congratulations to them as well as their families, coaches, and teachers who have supported their formation throughout their years at Belen,” said José E. Roca, Principal.
In addition to the lights on the football field, lights were also installed on the varsity baseball field. On November 19, a special event with the varsity and junior varsity teams will be held at 7 p.m. to inaugurate the lights. The Belen community is invited to take part in this historic moment for the baseball program.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
