No college pitcher was as utterly dominant as UCLA’s junior righthander, who led the nation with 10 complete games (nine consecutive) and a Pac-10-record 203 strikeouts—52 more than second-place Danny Hultzen.

– June 15, 2011Posted in: 2011 CBD Journals, Division 2, NECBL
Hello everyone. Welcome back to my blog. After a couple of days off from Post Baseball it was that time again, time to get back on the bus. I am entering my 3rd year in the New England Collegiate League which is widely regarded as one of the top 3 summer leagues in the country. This is my second season as Manager in the league. I really enjoy the opportunity to coach and teach some of the best players in the country. Watching the Major League Baseball Draft gets a lot more interesting not only because of the players that I have coached getting selected in the draft but also seeing what players might not be coming to your summer club. While at Post during the season I am calling and receiving emails from coaches all over the country and have the chance to select my team for the summer. This summer I am the Manager for the Mystic Schooners, my first question was what in the world is a schooner? It is a boat, I’ll save everyone the google search. Read the rest of this entry »
