In this time of uncertainty and emotions everyone know that our number one goal this spring is taking care of the young men me and my staff have been entrusted with!
@CVCCBaseball
will never give up! My response is below!
Dear Coaches,
I understand us here
@CVCCBaseball
are going through some issues but we are working hard to fix them and are making progress. If you feel the need to reach out to our players for transfers at the break, my inbox is open and my phone # is 910-733-0466.
Just to clear everything up, we are still playing baseball this year and are working very diligently to make sure we are sustained. Our guys are bought into winning this year!
@CVCCBaseball
These boys did what not many people were able to do this summer! 22-9 (21-6 league play) Regular season champions, 69 home runs, dominant pitching and overall fun team to be around. Losing stings but this summer meant much more than that! These boys PLAYED baseball! Love y’all!
Just wanted to post on here and let everyone know so there is no confusion. I will not be returning to Montreat college in the 21-22 school year. I was blessed to be able to coach at my alma mater and loved every minute of it. An opportunity arose that I could not turn down.
I would like to formerly announce that I am heading back to
@CVCCBaseball
to continue my coaching career! When the opportunity arose I could not turn it down! More than excited to be back with the boys and back home in The Valley!
Resilient group! Battled from behind 3 out 4 games, 2 walk offs, three one run game wins and a multitude of huge at bats and big time pitches! First time in seven years the region championship is coming back to HKY!
The boys got it done! 2022 Region 10 Champions! The journey is not finished! Bringing it back to Hickory for the District Championship!

When did baseball become a nothing but “look at me” sport. I’m so tired of seeing these kids disrespect the game and make it about themselves. I’m all in on new school thought but some things should never change. Acting professional and not like a child should be nonnegotiable
Pretty cool day! Got to coach against this guy
@Coach_Pollock
. Worked under him in 2018 and he has been a mentor, friend and brother since then. Oh and the field is named after him! Enjoyed my time back in Clinton and glad I got to take my guys with me!
The coaching staff may change but the goal remains the same. Looking forward to chasing another Region 10 title with the boys and

Couldn’t be more proud of this group of young men. The trials they went through this year were second to none. The mental stress of thinking your losing your program and the ability to battle through that and make their way to the Region Championship game, PROUD! Until next year!
Crazy last 24 hours for our program

Been through a lot of blood sweat and tears with this program. Was there as a player on Day 1, been an Assitant, and now back as the head coach. This program is awesome and is nothing without

2022 Season come to an end in the District Championship game. Great year by this group, they battled and fought all year! Super proud of this group! Region 10 Champs!

Was casually at a baseball game last night with the wife, watched a kid on the mound get a strikeout to end the inning, gave the Trevor Bauer sword motion and stare down the hitter before walking to dugout. This was after he walked 3, gave up a hit and a run. Next inning, gave up

From coaching me, to being my roommate, to letting me coach under you twice. My baseball path is nothing without you! Couldn’t be more proud of you big man! Much love!
Thankful beyond measure for Catawba Valley and everyone involved with our success. It’s time to pursue another adventure but I will forever be grateful of my time wearing the “CV” with pride.

Proud of the guys today! However we lost a member of our game day family, so if anyone sees this guy around Hickory feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Confused Coach Wondering who steals a sign!

@MarshallMcD22
Came home late last night after our game and the wife decided to try and give me a premature heart attack. I’d say she likes Halloween and ALDI a little too much.
Lady at wal mart asked me if I was Santa, I was wearing a Santa hat. I laughed and said “sure” she handed me her cart and said “here pay for this, you owe me a lot of money!” And she walked off!

As the season approaches and the player roster is finalized, don't forget about the coaches! Check out the ones returning, as well as some new faces leading the Steamers this summer. ⚾
We still have a season to play and are full go for that season. If you still feel the need to try and get a few guys in January, please reach out first.
Due to conflict of interest I cannot state where I will be going in august. I fully intend to workout the remainder of my contract with Montreat until I leave for summer ball! It’s been a pleasure and an honor!

So bad is his ‘good spot’. And he’s excited about it. All he has to do is watch video. No great hitters do what he’s being taught. Zero. There’s a sucker born every day.

Due to the fact that writers(people who have never even touched the dirt of a baseball field) had another chance to vote, one of the best players in the game will now never be in the hall. Not to mention some of the best dudes of that generation that got snubbed.
#ridiculous
Due to a couple rain outs…… we are open this weekend and looking to add a single game. Preferred to be played at our field, but open to anyone for a conversation. Please reach out to our head coach

You know you’re getting old when you ask your wife to pick up shampoo and she takes it upon herself to get a “thickening” shampoo. How did we get to this point
I'm old enough to remember when Merry Christmas, the National Anthem, and the Pledge of Allegiance weren't considered offensive. The good ol' days.... Merica.
