NCAA postseason roster limit of 25 is tough when you have the talent and winning culture that we have at PacU. To be champions, there’s a huge price to pay. Most of our players have paid that price… not just the top 25. THEY ARE WHY WE ARE CHAMPIONS! 🏆🏆

Got a call from 1 of our committed players today. He wanted us to know that he got into Stanford! He’s still leaning our way but he has some thinking to do

AMAZING that he told us the news right away. A lot of kids these days wouldn’t say a thing until the decision was made…
Proud of our boys today! We caught the bus at 7am in Forest Grove, flew down to LA, drove to Anaheim through Friday traffic for a 6:30pm game... not ideal situation but our boys played with great effort and energy and found a way to win! That’s PRP!

Recruits - It should be a red flag if coaches badmouth another program during the recruiting process. If you’re getting information about

Humbled for sure… but my heart is full. Grateful for the support of my family and friends for spending a-lot of money to come support

So incredibly proud! This group accomplished things that no Boxer team has in over 50 years! Regular season & tournament champs, and being 3 outs away from Iowa! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for our seniors!
The Boxers drop a heart breaker in the regional championship. The Boxers fell 13-9 to St Thomas (the
#1
seed in the region).
Boxer Baseball finishes their season as Regional Runner-Ups, Regular Season and NWC Tournament Champions, and with an overall record of 34-15.

Huge thank you to all of you who helped make the tournament so great! We ran a 1st class NWC Tournament and we pulled it off during a pandemic while hosting T&F championships and a vaccine clinic! Proud to be a Boxer! 🏆🔥☝🏼

schools ranked in the West region! Especially this year! The wSOS is flawed and it punishes our conference because we are geographically isolated compared to the rest of D3 and we beat each other up every year.
One of my mentors & a GREAT COACH once told me his philosophy, “Culture wins”! This has guided nearly every decision Ive made since! We’ll get through this STONGER 💪🏼 THAN BEFORE because we have GREAT CULTURE in our program, ath dept, & Univ.

- No matter what he decides, we will support his decision 100%! If he picks Stanford then he has our blessing. If he decides to stick with Pacific, then he would do that on his own terms. Win win! Either way, we’re behind him. But still 🤞🏼
We’re turning the stadium lights on one last time tonight from dusk (9:11pm) until 10pm to honor our 5 Seniors! If you’re in The Grove tonight & you see the glow of the stadium lights, think about the 2020 Boxers, our seniors, & what might have been! ❤️💪🏼⚾️🙏🏼

RIP Coach Garland! Miss you already. I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I wish I could have had a chance to see you one last time and say goodbye, and more than anything say thank you! Will never forget your smile, sense of humor, and the way you lifted people up.
Very special for me to go back to where my college baseball journey started at the Univ. of Redlands. When my folks dropped me off in the Fall of ‘94 I would have never imagined doing what I’m doing today, let alone coaching against the Bulldogs.

The decision to swing should be made long before you even set foot in the box! The decision is not binary (yes or no)... you’ve already decided that you’re swinging! The only decision that needs to be made is to not swing! Back to work tomorrow!

We want hitters to get on base & hit doubles ↗️ To do that you need to Control the Zone 🔳 How do we do that? Timing! Leads to vision, recognition & good swing decisions. If you’re on time you have a chance! Aggressive Mentality is 🔑 to timing!

Creating training environments that are just beyond your athletes skill level is not easy, especially with a large team with varying levels of ability. As a coach it’s inevitable that you’re going to miss the mark sometimes. Communication is 🔑 and admitting you messed up helps.
NAIA rules > NCAA Rules
- re-entry allows coaches to play more student-athletes
- run for pitcher/catcher speeds game up and involves more student-athletes, + health benefit for P/C
- faster, more athletic games, more fun to play and watch. Plus adds an element of strategy.
