The Trinity Baseball program has long been at top team in western region and all of Division 3 baseball. What helps separate Trinity from other programs is not only their talent level but player development as well. The coaching staff at Trinity places just as much significance on player development as they do on wins and losses. This all stems from the coaching staffs attempt to run a major college program, resemblance of top Division 1 programs more so than Division 3 athletics.
The best example is the coaching staff’s ability to place players in top collegiate baseball summer leagues. Summer leagues are essential for player development. Instead of taking the summer off from baseball, summer leagues present players the opportunity to play against the nation’s top collegiate talent, extend their season to up to 50 games, and expose players to greater scouting opportunities. In my two years at Trinity, Trinity has sent over 15 players to summer collegiate leagues to play against the nation’s top talent, including players to the New York Collegiate League, Cape Cod, Coastal Plains League, New England Collegiate League, Northwood’s League, among others.
In comparison, I played first two years of collegiate baseball at a Division 1 program within the Big Ten Conference. However, although this program carries the Division 1 title, it pares in comparison to the level of commitment Trinity coaches have illustrated over their years in San Antonio. In result, Trinity players are proud to play with the TU on their uniforms and look to continue and pass on the programs tradition to future players within the program.
