The Georgia Gwinnett Grizzlies are having yet another stellar season and their junior outfielder Ajay Sczepkowski is a big reason behind their success. He's one of the NAIA most prolific offensive threats with a batting average well over .400, a position among the leaders in home runs and surprising speed for a slugger his size as he is also in the top ten nationally in stolen base

It wasn’t long ago opponents could see an upcoming series against SAGU and immediately pencil in wins. In 2017 and 2018, their record was an unimpressive 27-68 and were on the wrong end of numerous double-digit losses. The next season Matt Cornacchione was hired to lead the Lions and revamp the paltry program which had never finished over .500. His success was immediate. In 2019

Kevin Brooks has been the only head coach for the DII powerhouse Angelo State Rams since the program's resurrection in 2005. Under his guidance not once in their history have they finished below .500 as they have solidly churned out Lone Star Conference title after title after title. Their success has not been limited to conference championships either. Oh heck no, not by a long sh

Joey Wendle was one of DII's most accomplished players as he played four solid seasons at West Chester University which concluded with him leading the Golden Rams to the 2012 national title. Following the season he was selected in the sixth round by the Cleveland Indians and made a steady ascent to the major leagues. He made his MLB debut in 2016 and played his first full season in

Nick Garcia is one of the most intriguing prospects in this year's upcoming Major League Baseball draft. He spent his freshman year on the Chapman Panther baseball team as the club's third baseman.

Jimmy Endersby started his college career playing on the acclaimed Cal State Fullerton baseball squad, but found himself mired in a logjam of talent and fighting for innings. He had converted from playing the field to pitching but was on the bench far more than in the lineup. After two season on the Titans he transferred to California Irvine and put up beastly numbers on the mound.

Josiah Gray started his college career primarily as an infielder at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York. His decision to attend the small DII school was an easy one as Dolphins’ head coach Scott Cassidy was the only coach to make him an offer. As a freshman Gray picked up some late innings on the mound as he had pitched in high school, but far from excelled as he allowed 11 ea

Mitch Lively earned accolades as a punter at Sacramento State, but his future in sports would be on the mound. He walked on as a pitcher for the Hornets and didn't put up spectacular numbers (or even decent tbh) but his size and fastball were impressive enough to earn him selection in the 2007 MLB Draft. He put up quality numbers in the minor leagues but opted to pursue internation

Even though he will turn 29 this summer, Antonio Carrillo is going to come back to Point Park for more season of college baseball in 2021. An opportunity to play that one final year is something that he has been wanting to do for nearly a decade. He was drafted out of high school in the 2009 MLB Draft but elected to attend San Diego State and play for MLB HOFer Tony Gwynn. However

When the latest freshman baseball recruit stepped onto the Rivier University campus, the Raiders received a prospect unlike any they’d ever had on their roster. The 5-foot-10 catcher had a pedigree which included playing for a national team against top competition from around the globe including Puerto Rico, Mexico and Nicaragua. The recruit, who hailed from just outside Vancouve
