I’m very happy and excited to announce that I am now covering ECU baseball for
@CollegeBaseCNT
!!
I’m extremely blessed and grateful for this opportunity, and I’m very excited to be covering ECU baseball for this upcoming season!
"East Carolina has the best baseball environment in all of college baseball. Argue with me if you want, but I am not wrong."
Jacob Jenkins-Cowart everybody!
How many other schools would have this many people left in a game that started four hours ago, in which we were down six at one point?
Pirate Nation is unreal.
Congrats to Jake Kuchmaner for being hired as the new baseball coach for the Oakwood School!
Those kids have got themselves a top-notch coach!
Coach Kuchmaner sure does have a nice ring to it.
Josh Moylan today:
- 4-4
- BB
- 2 doubles
- 4 RBI
- 2 runs scored
He’s now batting .348.
NOT TO MENTION his stellar defense at first.
I hope all the Josh Moylan doubters feel reeeeal stupid right now…
Couldn’t quite swing a picture or an autograph, but we had a great time watching Norbs in Miami!
My mom wanted to spend her 50th watching Connor, and she enjoyed her birthday present of two homers!
(ps - the loud obnoxious cheering you heard by third base - that was us!)
According to the D1Baseball Transfer Tracker, ECU has picked up Chaz Myers, a veteran infielder from University of the Pacific w/ 1 year of eligibility remaining.
Myers has a lot of experience playing second base and shortstop.
He played in the MLB Draft League this summer.
ECU’s own Jaden Winter pitched a sensational outing for the Cropdusters yesterday. He went 7 shutout innings, giving up only 3 hits, walking 3, and striking out 7.
Batters are hitting only .130 against him.
He earned the win in the 8-0 shutout.
After freezing 🥶 the Senator hitters en route to the semifinals,
@jadennwinterr
(
@ECUBaseball
) spoke with
@SokolskyJish
after his dominating performance. He needs a nickname. Might we suggest Mr. Freeze?
With Bethesda’s season on the line, Dixon Williams comes through with a GRAND SLAM to put the Train up 15-7.
On the day, he has 5 hits, 7 RBI, a walk, and 2 stolen bases.
I don’t dislike Wichita State or their fans - much the opposite. I think they’re a quality ball club with some lovely fans that are fun to watch.
But this is very hypocritical for the conference. Why not apply the rules universally to everyone???? Why just one team?
He just started off the third inning with a leadoff single, stole second AND third in the same AB, and scored on a groundout.
Big Train 1, Cropdusters 2 in the middle of the 3rd.
Thank you to the guys who helped me fall in love with baseball.
The impact you’ve had on this program cannot be overstated. You’ll always be Pirates, and there will always be a hole for you here.
Let’s get to Omaha for all of you guys 💜
I livetweet for those who may be out of state, can’t make it, or just watch from online.
Not everybody can make it out to a 6 o’clock midweek game during exam season 🤷♀️
If it bothers you, I have no problem with you just blocking me and moving on.
Have a good night !
lmao the announcer on the UCF broadcast just asked the another announcer if they had any advice for FAU’s first season in the AAC
check out the answer 😭
Bryson Worrell smacks a single into right field for his first base hit with High-A Rome.
He picked up an RBI earlier in the game with a sac fly in the 4th.
Jack Herring since committing to East Carolina (6 games):
Batting .458 (11-24) with an OBP of .519. 9 RBI, two doubles, and a grand slam.
He’s on a six game hitting streak.
DIXON WILLIAMS JUST STOLE HOME
Williams created that run on his own. Got to second with a double, stole third, and then stole home before the pitcher even knew what hit him.
Dixon Williams has looked good at the plate this weekend, and today is no exception.
He smacks a hit to left center, using his speed to turn it into a double.
Josh Moylan (
@josh_moylan20
) just worked a 10-pitch AB (!!) that ended up with a two run BOMB to right field.
Oh, and it went 450 feet. Preeetty sure it went into the harbor. An INCREDIBLE AB.
A last note: Josh is currently batting .429 during the postseason 👀
STREAKER ON THE FIELD, STARLING HITS FOR THE CYCLE, JC MAKES A WEB GEM CATCH, ECU TAKES THE GAME AGAINST A RANKED IN-STATE RIVAL TO COMPLETE THE SWEEP
PAINT THIS ONE PURPLE
Congratulations to our very own
@Cwall31_
on becoming the 2024
@VBLBaseball
Batting Champion!🏴☠️⚾️
Colby led all hitters in the North and South divisions with a .370 batting average!
These are the guys that let me fall in love with baseball.
Very, very hard to see them go. Wish them all nothing but the best.
I hope they know how much they mean to this program.
Forever proud of this team 💜💛 This doesn’t change that.
Couldn’t get it done this year, and it sucks… a lot. For these guys who deserved it so, so, SO much. It sucks.
But they’ll be remembered as winners to those of us that appreciated them.
Just a story cut short.
I think it’s very cool that some of the Gnomes get to come watch this game that’s being started by Corey Costello, their eventual teammate for the summer
i’ll be staying off this app the rest of the night because quite frankly i don’t want to see the ‘our season’s over’ and the ‘we have no chance’ messages anymore
bad loss, unfortunate loss. Tulane is always a thorn in our side
Offense has to wake up tomorrow. 🤷♀️
all the cheering for Joey knowing how long he’s been here, how many years he had to sit and watch the action from the bench, all the harsh things people have said about him online…
yeah, he deserves this. all of it and more.
ECU pitcher Jaden Winter hasn’t given up an earned run in 15.2 innings so far this summer. He’s struck out 18 and only walked 2. Winter currently owns a WHIP of just .80. 👀🏴☠️
To the male ‘fan’ in the purple seats yelling down at the players “three hits? are you kidding?” and completely badmouthing the team:
I’d like to see you get down there and do better.
Cut it out - it’s a game.
Also. You’re just really annoying.
According to D1Baseball, the following players rank in this week’s Top 100 Pitchers and Hitters:
USF’s Jackson Mayo & Ben Rozenblum
Rice’s J.D. McCracken and Parker Smith
ECU’s Zach Root and Trey Yesavage
FAU’s C.J. Williams
Jacob Jenkins-Cowart has been assigned to the Jupiter Hammerheads, the single-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
He’s debuting tonight in RF, but the game is in a rain delay.
if you think about it maybe we were thinking about this all wrong.
2023 isn’t the year, it never was.
it was always gonna be 2024. that way, we can build upon the legacy of Keith LeClair.
Showing that we can only go up from here.
Carter Cunningham is the most underrated player in the country. Bristol Carter is ELECTRIC and Trey Yesavage is your future first round draft pick. DiLorenzo’s a beast.
Paint this one purple, baby 💜🏴☠️
Dixon Williams hit the go-ahead homer (at the time), made an outrageous diving backwards catch to save a run, and he walked it off to secure the championship with a single up the middle.
All this after leading the league in batting average during the regular season.
This man is your

Player of the Year, Scholar-Athlete of the Year, AND the Community Impact Award winner.
@cartercunnin
is a perfect representation of what if means to be a Pirate🤟
This is what Pirate Nation is all about. This little guy is Jacob Turner and after our season was sadly ended yesterday, he came up to me after the game and just wanted a hug. It was a hug that I did not know I needed until then. Baseball really does mean more in Greenville.
