From the Dugout

Former Wildcat Baseball Players:

As we begin our fifth year of the Diamondcats Club, we are extremely excited for the continued growth and interest of this club.

We continue to receive great support from this University and Athletic Department. We installed nearly 500 new chairback seats at Tointon Stadium last summer. The appearance of our stadium was greatly enhanced from the addition. For all you former pitchers, we have also constructed a new bullpen “bench” for our relief pitchers to view the games, and installed new turf in our bullpen home plate area.

However, we have enjoyed the opportunity to further enhance the overall program with the funds generated from the “Diamondcats.” The Diamondcats generously donated over $12,000 last year.

Here is how we utilized the funds:
• New office furniture for our film
room
• New DVD player with cowboy remote– expensive equipment for our players to review film in a slo-motion frame by frame motion

• Additional supplements for our team– allowing us to keep our players in supplements year round
• Umpire expenses
for fall world series
• New laptop for Coach Burroughs.

Our Athletic Department allocated budget would not have allowed for these purchases.

The 2009 Wildcats accomplished great things, and are excited for the upcoming fall season. With some great core pieces returning, and talented newcomers on the way, we plan to take the next step in the Big 12 Conference.

We hope you will renew your membership or join the Diamondcats for the first time.

Thanks for your support and Go Cats!!

Brad Hill
Head Baseball Coach
