@mginsberg2027 @DiamondAddicts Congrats! You’ll be great!

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

First day of 6th and K grade for these two. Softball is great, but these clowns are my “why”. And they know, #WeTeachHomeruns

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@ElliottSaysWhat Full ride. NIL is a little tricky- but I’d say at least 47 scoops of her favorite ice cream, and unlimited scoops for immediate family.

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@MojoJason1 She’s in good hands! Appreciate the trust.

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

Beach vacay with the fam is complete. Can’t say I’m looking forward to leaving, but I am looking forward to seeing our ‘26-27 @CCSUsoftball squad. Roll Devs

Brought the little man to work today. He was mostly helpful.

@T_Gambacorta13 @DawnMStearns1 @rayramelli @ub_softball @FPNE18UCarpe @MaddyCarpe Good for you! Congrats!

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

Added another 🔵😈 to the squad today. Happy to add another Mid-West kid to the squad! #WeTeachHomeruns

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@mrobb62 @KendallRogers @ccsubaseball No, he is not going another season.

[Coach Kas Hoag @CoachKasHoag]

DBat’s College Exposure Camp will take place on Wed., Aug. 5th and will include 11 schools: Hofstra, UMass-Lowell, New Haven, Central CT State University, Springfield, Wesleyan, Lasell, Keene State, Colby-Sawyer, Albertus Magnus and Regis. The last day to sign up is 7/20 before the registration price increases.

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@ExYank54 @BBGreatMoments Agreeing with Coach Joe on this one. No one wants to face Bonds, period. Mays was electric in a number of categories; but the Babe wouldn’t have a shot in any game past 1965 ish…. Too fast.

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

Bittersweet moment for me. So happy for @CoachPHall23, and he will do a tremendous job. My gosh though, Hick will always be my guy. No shot I’m where I am without him. Not to mention the hundreds of others that he mentored….a legend, absolute legend.

[Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers]

BREAKING: Long-time @ccsubaseball head coach Charlie Hickey is retiring, and long-time Blue Devils assistant Pat Hall is taking over as head coach, I'm told. Hickey guided CCSU to 9 NCAA appearances in 26 seasons. Hall has been with the program for the last 17 seasons.

UPDATED CAROUSEL: https://t.co/vIz9kKMC0b

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@CS_Pxp @bob_buswell @ccsubaseball I mean, he’s ok if you like to see development, value loyalty, and want to see things done the right way in this crazy collegiate landscape! Love ya @CoachPHall23

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@KendallRogers @ccsubaseball I am humbled to say that I was in Charlie’s 1st recruiting class at CCSU. What that man did identifying and developing young talent that others couldn’t/wouldn’t is undeniable. Because of that man I’m coaching SB at CCSU (my Alma mater). The GOAT. Tremendous career Hick!

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@BritneyPurser Yes ma’am

[Patrick Holden @PtrckHldn]

@ascarborough Amanda, I understand. But you understand that if we needed to keep the lineup under lock and key for whatever reason - we would hand in a BS one and then change it at the plate. Which would only entail even more work for production, stats, etc….
