D3 baseball players getting taken by D1 teams, D3 player just drafted in the 10th round of the MLB draft tonight…
None of this would be happening if D3 baseball wasn’t legit… don’t let the number behind the division mislead you
Thank you to my lifelong mentor & friend
@coachklunderwb
for the opportunity to come home! Excited to get to work and help build on the Wartburg baseball championship tradition! 🏆
#GoKnights
The
@IHSAA
baseball state tournament is honestly one of my favorite events to attend every year. Communities rallying behind their teams, and kids laying it all on the line for their team/community! Very impressed with the teams these first two days; and excited for next week!
Year 1 coaching at the alma mater ✅
I am incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such a talented group of players and coaches!
23 wins & 5 conference series wins in year 1… can’t wait to see what this program accomplishes in the coming years!

@lukefenn23

2025 recruits: as you head into the new year and begin your research on where you’d like to spend your next 4 years, this would be a good place to start…

Grew up around this program as a
young one... going to practices,
games, eating meals with the
"college guys.” I also learned what being a coach was all about!
Seeing this program play on ESPN +
today was a surreal moment. A lot to be proud of

Mount Union beats Wartburg, 34-31, on a last minute touchdown! D3's most dominant powerhouse is heading back to the National Championship Stagg Bowl again.
A summer to remember in Waterloo! What an incredible group I had the opportunity to work with!

@MatthewSchirm
who shares that same passion!
To every senior that found out their final is season is cancelled... I’m sincerely sorry and my heart hurts for all of you. Can’t even imagine putting myself in your shoes right now.
After 9 years of FL spring break trips between myself,

@Willis24Ryan
… this year was the last together!
We enjoyed the Florida ☀️ and return home with many W’s ✅
As someone who has been around Division 3 for my whole life… the positive things I could say about my experiences as a student athlete and coach are endless!
Being graduated from college for quite some time now, I can wholeheartedly say I’m glad I chased the “fit/experience”
Thinking of my brother
@Willis24Ryan
as he found out he won’t be able to finish out the 2 weeks of season due to injury.
Came back for 5th year and gave it everything he had every single day, a true leader and ultimate competitor much love man ❤️

Last day of practice = senior talks!
Conclusions of seasons are always bittersweet… I look forward to going to battle one last time this weekend with the ‘22-‘23 group!
Fernando Tatis Jr. smacked a grand slam on a 3-0 count with a big lead, leading to criticism from both managers.
What do you think about this unwritten rule in baseball?

Had a great time speaking on the college recruiting panel at the 2020 Iowa baseball clinic tonight! Thank you
@IAHSBCA
and especially
@GoHawkBaseball
Coach Klunder for this opportunity!
Opening day tomorrow! My 6th year as a college coach and I feel the same level of excitement (if not more) as my 1st year!
The journey of a season is a fun/wild ride in which we can’t predict results but can control our effort/preparedness. Can’t wait to compete w/ this team! ⚡️
When watching a recruit, doing the “little things” and respecting the game far outweigh how many hits you get or how many strikeouts you have on the mound. Compete and lead at a high level no matter what!
Saw a great example of that tonight with the young man I was watching.
Lost track of time after study table tonight... talked for 40 plus minutes with a player about how things were going... Lesson: Take the time to build those lasting relationships! As coaches we can learn just as much from our players as they learn from us!
One last thank you to Coach Roling and everyone at
@StormSports
for making these last 3 years enjoyable! First class people that made coming to work every day fun! Department staff meetings, lunches, recruiting talks… I will miss it all!
Slider Lite 360 Machine, smash factor balls, and training gloves! Highly recommend to all infield coaches out there (especially if you’re in the Midwest and stuck inside for a while)
Rex Ryan went OFF on Chargers head coach Brandon Staley after the team's loss to the Raiders 😳
"We're being robbed as NFL fans that we don't get to see Justin Herbert in the playoffs. ... It's hard not to make the playoffs with a franchise QB, but congratulations, you did it."
State 🎾 champs followed up with a state ⚾️ semifinal appearance. You have a lot to be proud of
@Willis11Ryan
@lwillis311
! Champs in my book and always will be
Incredible people on and off the field! This whole coaching thing is truly rewarding when you’re surrounded by guys like this! Thank you seniors for welcoming the “new guy” with open arms! Year 1 at Central ✅ 🔴⚪️
