Welcome to San Diego City College baseball. Knights baseball has a long tradition of quality
intercollegiate athletics at the two-year college level. As a player or a sponsor, we
welcome you to explore the opportunities that are here for you at San Diego City College.
We have our on-field practices that we work all our philosophies as far as defense philosophies,
offense execution; we get our boys their reps in, on the field as far as fly balls, ground
balls, running drills, hitting drills, the whole nine yards. We also branch into probably
what I feel is the most important part of... players that are aspiring to become division
one or professional athletes... and that's the speed factor and speed and agility factor
of the game. We introduce our speed and agility program at the beginning of fall and we usually
go for about a month-and-a-half to two months where we're working our players on,
"How do we develop speed?" Generally our weight-training program begins in December. Then we work hard
between December and February, as far as our strength development phase of our program.
This is all done in the weight room to give the kids the best opportunity that we can
to get them stronger for the game. This game has proven that it's a game of repetition,
and the more contact moments that we can provide with our players, as far as number of swings
they get, number of quality swings they get, or the number of quality ground balls they get,
or the number of bullpens they throw, we feel that that's going to escalate their
opportunities to play at the next level. I think City College was an opportunity for
me to play baseball and kind of expand a little bit more both in school and obviously on the field.
Chris Brown... that was his first year here, at the same time when I came here so
it was a new experience for both of us. Everybody had to kind of get used to everything, but
I think at the end it turned out well.
