After wrapping up our season on Thursday, it has taken some time to put into words what this year has meant. Charlotte Catholic is a huge piece of my life. It’s such an honor to lead this program & I want to take a minute to thank everyone who has played a part in this season ⬇️
BREAKING: We are excited to announce that Eddie Hull will be our new Head Baseball Coach!
Hull is a graduate of Charlotte Catholic and has been on our coaching staff for the past two years.
Congrats, Coach!

Could not pass up the opportunity to come back and help build

into a D2 powerhouse! Can’t wait to get our guys back on campus this fall 👊
Excited to announce that I will be joining the baseball program at Charlotte Latin as an assistant coach! Really looking forward to learning from one of the best young coaches around
@CoachCooke23
. Can’t wait to get to work!
If you want to play college baseball, there is a place for you somewhere. But if you can’t show up every day & compete/play hard, along with staying on top of your academics, you won’t get an opportunity. Every day is a chance to get better - prepare accordingly!
It’s GAMEDAY in CLT! Can’t wait to see Niner Nation in their white today on campus. Going to be an AWESOME afternoon!
Heading up to see some

Finishing the year with 29 wins, winning 6 out of 8 conference series, and going into the SAC tournament as the 3 seed - HUGE accomplishments for a young program!

Got a chance to get out to Gastonia today to see Louisburg & Gaston College play. Junior college baseball might be better than it’s ever been! A great option that more high school players should consider.
A lot of great memories from my juco days at Louisburg!

This team does not quit! Down to our last strike multiple times… we found a way to get it to the next guy & score 4 in the 7th with 2 outs.
@masonchild12
gave us another big time quality start to lead us to our 1st Baseball Championship since 2012.
So much love for this group!
Halton Arena was electric tonight. Felt like the early 2000s. We played some great defense and made our free throws too. Big win over the Deacs!

Enjoyed getting back out to Louisburg College last night to watch some baseball. I played 1 year at LC in 2014 - played with some great players and stay in touch with several of those guys today. A lot of good memories on this field!
Thanks to everyone that came out to The Tuck yesterday for our Junior Day event! It was a great day of baseball! We hope to host more events this fall. Great time to be a Royal!

Just now catching up on the everything that occurred this evening at UNC Charlotte - still in shock that this could happen at our home. Thoughts and prayers with everyone involved from all of Niner Nation.
#CharlotteStrong
I asked
@doc_hull
what he wanted to do for his birthday yesterday. He said, “Let’s go see
@Queens_Baseball
play!”
So we road tripped down to Dahlonega, GA to see the Royals play at North Georgia. HUGE win to even up the series!
Go win it today, guys!

Such an unforgettable experience today getting to listen to STL Cardinals manager Mike Shildt - one of the best in the Charlotte baseball community. Down to earth with a simple, yet powerful, message. We are ready to “normalize excellence” here at Queens!
2020 has been a crazy year, full of its ups and downs. But today, as always, it’s still a GREAT DAY TO BE A ROYAL!

Going through some old stuff and found this throwback poster of the ‘06 Niners! The late Erik Walker (49er All Time Saves Leader) in the middle there. One of the best to wear a Niner jersey. Pretty cool stuff.

What a run for these guys! A second place finish in our first season is pretty special. It was so rewarding to see months of work take shape on the field throughout June and July.
Thank you to our players who competed for 40 games and represented our program the right way!

YES SIR! Could not be happier for Mason and his family. Mason is everything you look for in a student-athlete and someone you will always pull for.
Can’t wait to see him in a Seahawk uniform, but first, I am pumped for his senior year in a Cougar uniform!
Really excited for our guys! Going to be a great night for all involved. Thank you to the

for opening up their ballpark for us!
Tickets go on sale today!
Love the names here... but it has to be Bo Rob. The man has put so much work into building up the Niner program. Nobody better. Hopefully
@rmikehill
agrees!
Charlotte is interested in the following I’ve been told:
Bo Robinson (current AC), Robert Woodard (North Carolina AC), Karl Kuhn (Virginia AC), Link Jarrett (UNCG HC). Interviews are taking place this week we’ve been told.
So many great players have started @ the ‘Burg! Playing my freshman season @ Louisburg changed my life & I can’t thank Coach Shumate & Coach Hall enough for giving me a chance.
This is why I’m a huge advocate for junior college baseball - take a chance on yourself!
Man, what a day! Eddy Rodriguez absolutely crushed it this afternoon with his Gold Glove Catching Event! Thanks to Eddy for sharing his knowledge on the catching position and helping these kids get better today.
