So thankful for all of the messages today... Extremely grateful for all of the family, players, coaches, & support staff that helped me grow over the past 15 years. Excited to put on the HC hat for the 1st time.
New era begins today...
GO WILDCATS!
Summer I’ll never forget… 95 days of little league all stars. Very proud of their effort and commitment through the entire summer!
This team took their parents & community on a ride we will never forget….
A reminder that good people/players can do great things TOGETHER!
Remarkable power on display tonight during the

The Lord has blessed me with so many special moments in my life, but none compare to being able to baptize two of my children today.
So many people, in so many communities have helped them get to this decision— Can’t wait to see M & M impact His kingdom in the years to come!🙏
Awesome ending to my day...
As I was leaving the office, I walked through the renovated Gilbreth-Scott Team Room & a group of our guys were using it to host a Bible study group. Best part about it, my 8 yr old son was with me. Glad he has some DUDES to follow!

We are fired up to call Abilene home for years to come! Excited to see what the future holds for our program!

Over the last 1,826 days, so many special moments have been created by so many special people. Administrators, alumni, Abilene, staff, & especially the PLAYERS— Thank you!
Time to take another step forward together!

We came up one game short, but I can’t express how proud I am of this group of guys… I had the best seat in the house to watch them COMPETE for 1943 pitches in 6 gms in a span of 98 hrs.
Special group that left a legacy of toughness & elevated a program to another level.
#ATO
Very grateful for the opportunity to fill the line up card out for the 1st time today.
So many people played a part of allowing me to be right here, right now....
No one more so than
@raynamcc
Thank you
Not all wins are equal in sports—
Last night’s walk off, extra inning W at Globe Life will be remembered for a while. Neat on so many levels, but how the BIG Country & ACU community showed up to support us is at the top of the list! Another signature W for our program!
#ATO
Impossible to put this summer into words…
I’m thankful for the front row seat to experience it all with my son. So many memories that I’ll cherish for the the rest of my days.
I want to encourage every baseball dad to lean in & take advantage of the opportunity if given/able.
1st W of 2022 complete.
Great crowd…
We appreciate ALL of the alumni, faculty, staff, administrators, student-athletes, & ACU fans coming out!
Thankful for my crew & all of their support as well!

Extremely grateful for the opportunity to lead this program on a daily basis. So many people helped make this year very special for our coaching staff & players. Looking forward to starting chapter two!
#ATO
1st day of team practice = 1st of many late nights at the field.
I want to say THANK YOU to ALL of the coaches’ wives who allow us to chase our dreams & try our best to impact young men!
Today marks 18 yrs in this profession... Couldn’t do it without

I’ve been here for five weeks, but this is the 1st game I’ve seen under the lights... I absolutely love our set up & cant wait to watch

There aren’t many things better than a weekend sweep, but getting a post game video of my little guy hitting his 1st HR certainly is…
Glad

#TeamMcCarty
A year ago today, I was sitting in this same seat headed back from Austin, TX— the night our sport & our lives were turned upside down....
A year later, I’m thankful for so many things— including this seat for an 8 hour bus trip!
Praying for an end to this Covid era.
My heart hurts today....
Coach was loved by so many & was such a blessing to ACU, especially our baseball program. He had such an influence on me over the past 2 years.
He set the mark the rest of our coaches/players are trying to obtain... I hope we can make you proud!

A coaches lifestyle requires a lot of time away from family…
Very thankful to have my two “little” kids in the dugout together for the first time to enjoy a W together!

Big day in the McCarty house:
Want to wish a Happy 10th Birthday to my little man Myles....
Super proud of who you are! Looking forward to seeing who you become.

Hopefully, y’all left with a feeling of Wildcat pride!

Special group that has changed the trajectory of our program…
Reg C’ship in 21, played for a WAC tournament C’ship in 22, won 103 games over last 3+ years, 3 straight 30+ win seasons, ten P5 wins, and now a degree in hand.
To say I’m proud of them, doesn’t do it justice.
