Q: “What has it meant to play for Coach Skylar Meade these last few years?” @RiedellAndrew
Steven Meier: “It’s the best coach in college baseball, it’s the best coach I’ve ever had. It’s the balance of being coached, and taught, and sometimes, you know, got MF’d in the dugout, and that’s okay, but also being so free, and being able to just play your game. You don’t feel judged, or you don’t feel like you’re in a box. I’ve been there before, and that’s just so defeating as a ballplayer.”
Blake Cavill: “There’s not many places in the country that let me be me because, you know, I could be a little crazy sometimes, but Skylar lets me get away with it most of the time. Sometimes he’ll be in my ear, ‘cut it out a little bit,’ or sometimes he’ll be like, ‘hey, let it eat today.’ There’s no one you’d rather play for. Except he never gave me one inning on the mound.”
"A bad day in Omaha is certainly better than a good day in most places." - Skylar Meade after Troy's season-ending loss to West Virginia in the Trojans' first appearance in the College World Series in program history
“ There’s no one you’d rather play for man, except he never gave me one inning on the mound which was a little upsetting but he’s the man at the end of the day”
