UC San Diego is visiting Hawaii this weekend. UCSD is one of the newest additions to the Big West and is also, as of today, sitting at the top of the conference. This is fun since they are only three seasons removed from being a DII team, though because of[…]

I was so excited about Vanderbilt baseball coming to Hawaii. The team is filled with great players, and more than a few are going to being playing in the professional ranks someday soon. I had a few players I was particularly excited about, and infielder Carter Young was high on that list.
Rutgers baseball is having a heck of a season. As of today they are sitting atop the Big 10 standings with a 25-6 record, and are riding a 10-game winning streak. One of the big reasons for this is catcher redshirt junior Nick Cimmino
Micah Pries was drafted out of Point Loma Nazarene University, a D3 school, by Cleveland in the 19th round of the 2019 draft. 2021 was his first professional campaign, and he was just fantastic
