Head Baseball Coach at Appalachian State University
Joined July 2012
The people that voted no to this forgot what it was like to do laundry till 3 A.M., give hitting lessons for 4 hours on your “off” day, hope that you don’t get sick because you don’t have health insurance, and just flat out don’t value the great sport of baseball. Sad day!.
BREAKING: The proposal for the third paid assistant in college baseball has FAILED. The new and updated recruiting calendar in college baseball has PASSED.

Tonight was the last game of the year for Maddox and Beckett’s little league season. I was able to coach them for the first time ever! What a blessing! Thankful for the opportunity!

Rarely can you take a good family photo or say exactly what you want in 1 take. This is a really important message, so we wanted to get it right! Thank you .

My daughter, Georgia Grace, got baptized yesterday! As if that’s not good enough, Maddox & Beckett read her statement of faith (crushed it) and a bunch of the boys came!. Yesterday was as good as it gets!. God is good!

Very thankful for @BaseballBritt ! He spends countless days and nights away from his family in search of future Mountaineers (which we landed 4 of in the past 2 days!) Helped lead @AppBaseball to a school record .976 FLD% in 2021! As loyal and dependable as it gets!.#TIGMA

One of my favorite teachers in high school gave our class a piece of advice during a lecture one day. His name was John Schudel and he told us to, “Marry your best friend.” . I did just that 14 years ago today!. Happy Anniversary @RebeccaHSmith5 ! My best friend is smoking hot!

We had 4 guys make their season/career debuts on Tuesday night! All 4 were impacted by injury at some point in their career that led to significant time off or surgery. To watch them compete was emotional to say the least. They didn’t leave any crumbs on the plate!. #TIGMA.
Post-injury debuts make for the best nights! Multiply that by 4 and my heart could explode! To say I’m incredibly proud would be such an understatement! 💛🖤
