RE: UAB Baseball update (including Young Memorial Field)
With D1 baseball having such scholarship limits and so many on partials, it shouldn’t be surprising at all that top D3s can field teams that can beat d1 schools regularly. There are thousands of players in the talent pool that are high quality college material, with an eye on a good degree as much as the minors, who would opt to go to a high academic D3 to play over a partial at a public D1. If they have the means or qualify for other financial aid, it is a legit option for that player. BSC has always put a good baseball team on the field at whatever level they have played.
I will admit I didn’t expect our team to struggle so much this season, and I will also say I expected us to beat BSC (and also not get swept in as many conference series either). It has been disappointing. But also shows how much work is still to be done recruiting. It will take Coach Dunn some time to turn this around. He wouldn’t be the first good coach we’ve had who struggled out of the gate to fix the structural challenges our program has
