Well just because the Spring season is over does not mean that Baseball ends for these young men. Most play in Summer collegiate Wood bat leagues. A few I am aware of from the NCAC are:

Kyle Colgain: P Dension Gaithersburg Giants Cal Ripkin
Ian Barry: P Denison Settlers Great Lakes
Connor Murphy: P Denison Settlers Great Lakes
Charles Cooper: P OWU Settlers Great Lakes
Blake Adkins: P OWU Cobras Collegiate Ohio Independent
Collin Finn: C OWU Cobras Collegiate Ohio Independent
Jack Miller: C OWU Cobras Collegiate Ohio Independent
Michael Jeffers: P Kenyon Cooperstown Hawkyes Perfect Game
Nate Lotze: IF Kenyon Cooperstown Hawkyes Perfect Game

I am sure there are others, as I find them I will post and give stats etc.

Ian Barry and Connor Murphy both pitched last night for the Settlers:

BLD,

the NCAC also has Jack Peck of DePauw and Zach Mathie of Wooster playing for the Chillicothe Paints of the Prospect League.

Peck is 1-1 in 3 starts with an ERA of 2.81
Mathie is hitting .333 in 17 games

The Richmond River Rats of the Prospect League have P Michael Chiaro, P Alexander Sroka, and OF Robbie Stein of DePauw

I believe that is all the NCAC players in the Prospect League. The league does have a sprinkling of other D3 players from the OAC, HCAC and one each from CWRU and Alvernia.

Bishopleftiesdad · June 16, 2013, 10:05:58 PM

Thanks Motor man I will add them to my list.

Add another NCAC kid to the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League.

JJ Bucky of OWU, is with the Grand Lake Mariners. Watched him pitch a inning against the Settlers, three up and three down.

I do not have pictures, But OWU has started tearing down the outfield fence. It will be replaced with a Black chain link with Red slatting and a batters eye. The fencing will be 6 feet high all around. They are also re doing the backstop in block and adding netting instead of the current chain link. The dug outs will be enclosed by a 4 foot high fence in front of the dug outs.

I will get pictures when I have them.

As a newbie, I've got a question that hopefully those more experienced can answer: What is the typical Fall schedule/program like for a school in the NCAC? Know that it will vary from school to school but just wondering what to expect in general come August.

Bishopleftiesdad · August 06, 2013, 12:02:59 PM

Welcome aboard TexasDad, I look forward to your input from a Denison perspective. My son played with three Denison players this summer in the Great Lakes League, on the Licking County Settlers. The ended up winning the championship for the league.

On to fall baseball. Understand that Deegan may completely change things. Most NCAC schools start fall ball after kids have been in class for three to four weeks. Most schools have open try outs so any young man on campus can come. The first week is usually the try out process, running, drills, running, and batting. After that during the week it is typical practice activities and getting a look at the Freshmen. On the Weekends most schools have inter squad scrimmages. OWU concludes the fall schedule with a Red and Black tournament. The assistant coaches draft two or three teams and compete for bragging rights. OWU then has a game against alumni.

I believe D3 allows one week end of competition against another school. Most NCAC schools do not do this. But with Deegan being from Marietta which does this regularly, he mat give it a try. Last year Marietta went out to New York and played Cortland. This year I believe Cortland may be returning the favor.

I wish OWU would play a game against another team in the fall, but they choose not to.

Of coarse they should come to campus ready to start lifting, hitting in the cages and long toss. These activities are on their own or run by the captains, if your team has any. The coaches cannot be involved in these activities, but I can guarantee you they know who attends these voluntary activities and who does not.

TexasDad · August 06, 2013, 05:30:53 PM

Many thanks. He is definitely looking forward to the challenge.

Bishopleftiesdad · August 06, 2013, 07:20:22 PM

I am sure he will be up to it. I am interested to see the size of Deegans first real class.
