So this happened this weekend. Asheville has meant so much to us over the last 6+ years and we couldn’t be more excited for the future. As they say - biggest commitment I’ve ever received!
Thanks to
@ASE_Photography
for the amazing pictures!
So proud of this guy. Got dropped by a “big” school weeks before the signing period and took a chance on a new coaching staff and unproven program. 4 years later and a lot of hard work you get this ⬇️
65 degrees, big time progress on the dugouts, and the catchers/OF getting in some individual work - not a bad Tuesday afternoon in November

Need to thank the “team behind the team” for being so flexible this weekend. A lot of schedule changes with the weather but we got all 3 games in and got the series dub! Thanks to everyone involved!
#TacoTarp
Proud of these guys. Not only for what they have done for our program on the field, but the fact that all 7 graduated in 4 years. Thank you. Now lets go finish strong.

Exciting weekend in AVL and especially for

Even though 9/11 was such a tragedy - I enjoy a day like today. Seeing people put aside their differences to remember the great men and women who protect this country is what the USA is really about.

THE REST:
Saw this yesterday morning - was sobbing in the hotel room. Coaches’ wives are the most selfless, strong, and understanding people on this planet. If you haven’t watched, I strongly recommend you do so. Very powerful 🙏
Blake Anderson took a leave of absence from Arkansas State to be with his wife Wendy, in her fight against cancer.
As he returned, he discovered the power of his wife’s legacy, the support from the college football community and the strength to face a season without her.

The

event in Texas this weekend is a full go. I’ll be there on Thursday-Friday-Sunday. Good to have some sort of baseball back. Here are the rosters:
Happy for Kole! He still has a year left to add to this total. He is also 1 save away from breaking the single season record. He is the definition of consistency
#ThePursuit
@b_lankford10
has been voted our Player of the week. He went 4 for 7 in two games with a walk. He had an impressive .625 OBP and 2.339 OPS for the weekend.
#ThePursuit
Congrats Jacob on a great weekend on the mound. Efficient and effective - faced the minimum of 6 batters and only threw 24 pitches.
#ThePursuit
#excitedtobehereface
Few things: 1) The excitement from the people he works with shows exactly the type of person he is (especially Terry Bradshaw - made me laugh). 2) The first words out of his mouth are: thanking his asst coaches, players, and he talks about the work WE put in.
#ItsNeverAboutYou
My last mow on Greenwood was a beauty. Thankful for all athletics has given me the last 30+ years. Playing, coaching, teaching, turf, friendships, and most importantly an unbelievable family around me. The last field I mowed I even played on way back in college. Retirement.
What happens when you put ALL the analytical rankings together?
Here's our Top 100 hitters when you combined 2019 with the first four weeks of the 2020 season.

Want a 2nd or 3rd round name to watch for? Blake Brown of UNC Asheville. Now comfortably 97-100 with 45 command in 20-pitch bullpens thanks to hand position mechanical change. He's a one-inning fireman. Flashes a plus slider and potential changeup too. Hot name.
An update on Greenwood Field!
Some MAJOR progress being made on our dugouts and backstop!
Thanks to everyone that made these improvements possible! The 2020 season is right around the corner!
