No one could write this story… but GOD DID! 🙏
The best way to describe it all came from my dad….
“I thought I was attending a baseball tournament and walked out of the stadium feeling like I left a REVIVAL! 🤲
When you truly SURRENDER with “Open Hands” God does the work!
God is good.
The wins, championships, awards, and back-to-back Super Regionals are great, but they don’t compare to what God did in the hearts of these young men.
We saw lives surrendered to Christ, baptisms in the creek behind our field, and a team united by something bigger than baseball.
In a world that tells us to chase ourselves, there is only one way 48 players become truly unified: Jesus Christ.
This may not have been a College World Series team, but what God accomplished through this group was nothing short of a miracle.
To God be the glory. ✝️
@TransySports@TransyBaseball Incredible team and an awesome group of guys to compete with.
Two of the hardest fought games we played! Congrats on a great season.
Want to see what a great culture looks like on a college ⚾️ team? Humble in victory, gracious in defeat…men not being defined by the game. Clear purpose uniting them as teammates & brothers. @MessiahBaseball & @CoachPhill_S w/ #JesusOverEverything on the national stage.
Back-to-Back Champions 🏆🏆
“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
All glory to God for strength, unity, and opportunity to compete together. Proud of the way they served one another, stayed together, and honored Him through the journey!

Coaching this group is truly a gift God has allowed me to be a part of that I don’t deserve!
He is working in and through this team far beyond the wins.
Their UNITY—in a world that tells us to be selfish—is truly displaying the power of the Jesus! 🙏
Working with an SEC coach today, we got into a real conversation about evaluating hitters in the recruiting process.
What we found in the margins:
You can get ahead simply by knowing what you’re actually looking at.
Sounds simple, but anyone can watch a hitter perform.
Not everyone can project talent.
Not everyone can see what a player can become.
That’s where programs separate.
The ability to identify future growth — not just current results — is what leads you to the players who change the trajectory of your program.

Sean McVay on creating "togetherness":
When you love the person next to you, effort stops being a requirement, and it becomes a reflex:
⚙️ Connection creates an extra gear.
🤝 Standards become shared, not forced.
❤️ Culture isn’t built in meetings, it’s forged thru relationships.
You rise to the level of the people you’re connected to!
