Official account of Owens CC Express Baseball. Conference Champion 23-Region Xll Champions 21β’22β’23-District Champions 21- World Series appearance 21.
We want guys that want to buy into something much bigger than themselves not guys that want to take the easy way out and worry about their stats. People remember champions not your batting average. 14 days!
Recruit said: Juco baseball isnβt very good and donβt see myself being challenged. My thoughts: I feel bad for you... you have no idea how good of baseball is played at this level. There is a reason our guys walk right into 4-year schools and compete immediately.
Words can not express how proud I am for these players. World Series Bound for the first time since 1996. They never give up or give in. Proud to be there coach!!! Congratulations to you all!!!
I would like to take a second and congratulate my guys for breaking the single season wins record today (38). Itβs their sweat, blood and the culture they have created that separates them. Congratulations Fellas!! Keep moving forward!

I will be forever grateful for the support of our program. The 1st picture is back a few years ago when we took over. The 2nd picture (2023)is the result of all the hard work our players & outstanding coaches have put into just the field. We are proud to call this home. π
REGIONAL CHAMPS!!! Great group of men that never stop working even on the off days! Outscored opponents 36-2 in the three games.

Not exactly they way we wanted to end it. But, these guys never give up. 33-14 record on the year. A regional crown and a ton of great memories. The future is bright. Sophomores carried a 68-29 record 2 regional titles and a WS appearance. Iβm a proud coach. Express Men!!
OCC Baseballβ¦Best kept secret in college baseball. Great academics, great players moving on, great facilities indoor and outdoor, great player development, great alumni and great competition. Oh and to brag..TEAM GPA over 3.0. Itβs the Express Way!!
New plyo wall, new bullpen, new hitting area and tracking station. Team, Player Development & Culture. Always finding ways to evolve to obtain our goals.
Time to stop sleeping on Owens Athletics. Some of the best athletics/players/teams in the area. π 3 peat national champions, Womens π National champions, π₯ National Qualifier, βΎοΈ World Series appearance! Nobody works harder than our teams and coaches. Keep grinding OCC!!
Why OCC Baseball?! Great baseball, great facilities, great support staff from administration to coaches, very affordable tuition, guys that want to be part of something much bigger than themselves and guys moving on to 4 year schools. Just ask the 100+ guys that have done it.
Year number 4 starts tomorrow. Iβm proud of where the program is at and where itβs going and itβs all because of guys like this in the picture. Iβm truly blessed to do what I love to do. The best part is the reward at the end of it all when they become better men. Go Express!!
Iβm pleased to announce the addition of Coach Meinzer to the coaching staff. Meinzer has 20+ years of coaching experience and will be a great addition to our staff. Welcome Coach.
@AllSport001
Thank you Everyone!! This doesnβt happen without great support from all levels. So many guys past and present have put their blood sweat and tears into this program and deserve a ton of recognition. Thank you to an awesome wife that allows me to live this dream. To many more!!!
We are excited to announce that we will be playing at 5/3 Field April 27th. Game time set for 4:00 & 7:00pm. See you there!!

Another Florida trip in the books. 8-1 record. Great group of guys. We got better but not satisfied. Found strengths and weaknesses and we will improve on both. Looking forward to getting back home and playing.
Family!!! The hardest part about coaching is when the season ends and the team will never be the same again. The guys will never know how proud I am of them. Sophomoresβ¦go be fantastic individuals in your own world and know you always have a home here. Go Express!!! π
What makes us different? These sophomores have made the program a little better each day and the commitment to doing the right thing on and off the field. Beyond excited to hopefully start a tradition of playing at 5/3 once a year to celebrate the guys that play the game right

All athletes out there. Itβs been a crazy day in the sports world. But if being an athlete has taught us anything itβs to be resilient and never give up. Itβs just another step in the process. Take care of each other. At the end of the day we are all athletes in one big family.

Lucky to have the support we do from the local community. What a great day to have a practice in such a great ballpark at 5/3 Field. Itβs a great reward for the hard work thatβs put in everyday by this group. The little things!!
The calm before the storm The journey starts tomorrow. Iβm very excited about this group of guys. Theyβre already living in the weight room, putting in the extra work and we havenβt even started practicing. Nobody is going to give us anything and we will work for everything!
Not many will understand how much I miss seeing this group everyday and talking with them and the staff about how we can get better each day. What I would do to get those days back. The amount of work they put in was unbelievable!! Miss you guys!
Couldnβt be prouder of this team. Circumstances didnβt allow us to practice until Feb 1 & no fall ball. They come in hungry and determined to do something special. They finish the regular season 31-13 with goals still in place. Love being around these guys every day!!
Thank you

for helping make this night happen. I think itβs an amazing opportunity for our program to be able to play at such a beautiful venue.
Best of luck to all the Ohio High School baseball players and coaches out there. As tomorrow starts your journey, enjoy all the little things, leave it all on the field and take nothing for granted. Itβs a special game that rewards the ones that respect it.
@OHSAASports
This truly is family, these guys work so hard each and every day to collect respect and I believe they can do it! Love every single one of these guys! We will climb this mountain and battle together. πβ°
Itβs not always about the wins and losses. It will always be about your teammates and accomplishing great memories on and off the field with your TEAM!!

Words can not explain how excited I am to see these guys and the rest of the team compete this spring. Iβve always said to myself. βGet them ready and let all their hard work and ability take them the rest of the wayβ season starts in one week and it canβt get here soon enough!!
Whatβs not to love about this place? Great facilities indoor and outdoor, some of the best players in college baseball, great resources to develop as a player and student, affordable tuition & great support system. OCC Baseball! β π

2022 Journey starts tonight at 12:01. Midnight Madness Owens Express Baseball Style. What we do when everyone else is sleeping or how hard will we work when nobody is watching? One goal and itβs to reach the peak of the mountain!! Go Express!!
The last couple of weeks we have received a ton of compliments on our field and itβs greatly appreciated. But, I want to make sure we give a huge shoutout to current and former players for their part in this transformation. They have put a lot of sweat & work into the field also.
What a ride with this group. Finished 25-18 our first year back during the regular season. A lot of great things are happening. On to regionals in Sandusky next week. Time to make some special memories.
