. (#1) Hope Springs Eternal”
– for baseball enthusiasts a new season signifies the end of winter and the hope that spring is near. Our team will continue chasing after a championship that hasn’t been won by a TECH Baseball team since 1947. Since ‘08 we have set a school record three times for most wins in a season (40 in ‘16), played for the championship in ‘17 and reached semi-finals in ‘15, ‘16 and ‘24.
2). We will be lead by the depth of our pitching staff. We return several quality arms from last year’s team and have added some outstanding guys that are going to make an immediate impact. Offensively, we are replacing seven starters and will need to be as scrappy bunch that have to “do the little things well”.
3). Our guys excelled in every aspect during the fall semester. 8 weeks of Fall ball gave us a chance to evaluate the new guys, learn each other on and the field. Our team worked hard in the weight room, along with combined efforts in fundraising and community service activities. Our guys earned an exceptional 2.38 team GPA.
4). The biggest objective of each year is to develop a team culture that exhibits a “Will to Win, a respect for the game and a sense of identity. This year’s group needs to play good defense, pitch well and execute situational hitting. If you do the little things-the big thing will happen!
5). Energy, Enthusiasm & Excitement…
These guys enjoy being around each other and I’m confident that fans are going to see a team that is having fun. We have an outstanding group of coaches who are passionate about the game and are great teachers. Our Goal is to Win Championships along with achieving a 3.0 GPA. That combination of good teachers & students can make great entertainment at the ballpark.
Let’s Play Ball !!!
