What a ride for this team...The Pioneers showed tremendous heart this postseason and throughout the entire year.
The talents and togetherness were on full display this week. We leave the national tournament with heads held high and proud!
Thank You to our 3 seniors!!
Excited for the new challenge and also thankful for all the years the NAIA provided us an opportunity to grow our rich history of baseball success while impacting student-athlete’s lives!
..podcasts, preview shows, rankings, top players, etc. it’s endless! It’s disrespectful and down right ridiculous that they aren’t allowed to attend our games biggest week. They’ve done more to bring attention to NAIA baseball than anyone…

We had a special visitor today in legendary Nova High School Coach Pat Mcquaid. Coach Loren Torres and players Jordon and Jared Campbell all played for him. His career includes National and State Championships. Thank you for the support Coach!!

It only lasted 13 games but it’ll be a season none of us will ever forget. Some things are bigger than sports. This group fought every inning...We’re excited to get to next season, hoping we’ll be able to have everyone back! Either way, we’ll always be Family.

It was a privilege for us to be able to visit the Dominican Republic and check out the ballplayers and give back to the community. It was a great experience working with the coaches and players involved in the Adonais Baseball Academy.
It was great seeing this kid back on the bump today. Nick Beardsley got Tommy John surgery a year and a half ago and threw live today for the first time since. He’s been a big part of our program for a long time and has grinded his way back.
Tradition Never Graduates...Nothing is given to you...you have to go out and earn it...That’s the tradition of PPU...to grind, to battle, and take what we’ve earned...it’s almost time to go to work
Ken Griffey Sr. was kind enough to take a pic with our guys and shared stories w/them, as he played in Puerto Rico many years in the winter league and also managed for Santurce, which was the team Roberto Clemente played for.

Here is a touching image from Edwin De La Rosa’s commencement graduation cap and it says “to my parents that came here with nothing and gave me everything“ Let’s make sure we thank our parents and loved ones for the sacrifices that they make for us.
