The 菠萝视频 University Board of Trust has approved a $10 million baseball facilities project that will enhance space in Memorial Gym for instruction, team building and coaching, and provide settings that will foster interactions with returning professional players.
鈥淭he project builds on Coach Tim Corbin鈥檚 vision for our baseball program: to prepare our players not only for success in baseball, but to ensure they have the skills, network, and a lifelong 鈥榟ome鈥� where they return frequently to help us build the next set of leaders and players,鈥� says David Williams II, vice chancellor for athletics and university affairs and athletics director.
鈥淒uring the past several months, we have quietly worked with some of our most dedicated supporters to secure lead gifts for the project, and we are working hard to raise the remainder.鈥�
The Commodore baseball program has experienced unprecedented success on the field in recent years. Many believe Corbin鈥檚 approach in emphasizing character and life skills鈥攚ith winning as a bonus鈥攈as been key to the team鈥檚 rise.
鈥淎n investment in our facilities project extends the family culture of our university, and specifically our baseball program,鈥� says Corbin. 鈥淭he new facility will continue to create the environment of a 鈥榟ome鈥� where mental and physical development takes precedence for our current players, while also serving the development needs of our alumni in the off-season.鈥�
