I transferred from a D1 that I was struggling to be successful at to an NAIA school where I won a National Championship and got a chance to play professionally. Even if I never threw another pitch again NAIA gave me an amazing experience. College Baseball = College Baseball
A lot of young HS players (& their parents) do not know what NAIA baseball is. They are 4-year schools & they offer a great opportunity for players.
We saw several of them at Lake Myrtle today & witnessed about a dozen home runs & multiple arms 92+. Lots of big time players.
2027 RHP Ryland Lawson (Suwannee HS) threw really well for the Freshwater Storm in their game at Chain of Lakes in Winter Haven today. He worked 3 innings with 0 ER, 0 BB and 6 K while throwing 68% strikes as his summer season is off to a strong start. @LawsonRyland
A HUGE congratulations to Freshwater Storm 16u American for winning the Florida Cup Championship at Lake Myrtle today. Special things happen when you get a bunch of good players together who play the game the right way. This was very well deserved & we are super proud of them!
A huge thank you to all the players who came to live ABs as part of our Freshwater Storm College Summer program today.
Some of our college guys got 8 ABs (with Hit Trax at Fenway Park) and all the arms threw a few innings each. Very productive day! Back at it next week.
2026 grads who participated in our fall showcase program played 40 innings directly in front of 28 college coaches.
17 of the 22 healthy SRs who participated are now committed to one of those schools & we're not done yet.
C/O 27 invites for this year's program will go out soon!
Really appreciate all the mid major Division 1 schools reaching out too current players on our roster without contacting our staff first. You all are a class act.
If it keeps up am going to start putting your programs on blast for everyone to see on social media.
A HUGE congratulations to Quentin Berry on his commitment to play at Trinity College of Jacksonville!
We had a great experience with Q over the last 4 years and he earned this based on his performance. The Eagles are getting the real deal. We are super proud of him! @Q_Berry103

Nathaniel Mohan (28, FL) shoots this ball right back where it came from for an RBI single. Gets the foot down early and lets the hands work out front. #CFInvite
