Is Cape Cod a wood bat league?
Has been in the past, I assume it still is. Several years ago I coached a very talented young man in Babe Ruth baseball who later pitched at UH and played in the Cape Cod League for two summers. I followed his progress there.

He later was the #1 pick in the MLB Draft, selected by the Pittsburg Pirates. Had Tommy John surgery and didn't stay in the Bigs for very long.

One further thought on the ballpark on campus. What if we combined it with the soccer stadium?

Dell Diamond in Round Rock has hosted Liga MX teams, Cleburne Station Minor League Park is setup to host FC Cleburne as well, as seen below.


It might not make sense to pay 14 million for Softball & Baseball alone, but if you could kill 3 birds with 1 stone, it might be a more interesting proposition.

A proper soccer field, and what we have now, has a crown with 1- 2% slope. To have an occasional soccer match at a baseball field is okay, but not for a season. I suspect the baseball coach would not want a full season of wear and tear on his field.

Several great ideas have been presented here. Now, who is going to be making our formal presentation to the Regents? I assume it would be someone who's in Nac.

Nacluth, there's a Board meeting coming up very soon. How quickly can you have your plans and PowerPoint ready to go?

An official polo? You know we're on a budget over here. Just get a sharpie and write Sawmill on the front of one of your regular polos.

Polo? I use a Hanes undershirt. A used one.

It's not the off-season, it's the AD hiring season!

Still a wood bat league. What a great thing your player got a shot most only dream of. Good job coach. Jarrod knows this invite doesn't come often to players from small D 1 schools. This is the challenge he's prayed for.

Any of you guys experts on these summer baseball leagues? How do they work? Are they mostly made up of college kids?

Do we have any of these teams in Texas?

Jarrod Huber did great in the cape league. He covered for the Stanford catchers and they came in earlier than projected. He caught 4 games and met some great talent , he hopes he represented well in the minimal time given. Headed back to Nac today but he has been invited to play in the Coasta Plains league but is ready to focus on getting better for the upcoming season. Did y'all get that new ballpark approved yet ?

Glad to hear he did well.


And we're working on the new ballpark approval, just waiting for Dozier to sign a max contract.

Nice to see Dozier play the Rangers this week. Of course he's doing fine on a terrible Royals team.

Shout out to Cardenas. Dude likely won't know for sure he's coaching next year until Ivey gets on campus & he's still out working his tail off signing kids to make the Jacks better. Great job coach!

I don't know, but not really a good look...even if true.

Per chance a comment on one of the CWS players?

Maybe so, but still it sounds tacky, but I still like his passion.
