Today, we mourn the passing of one of the most influential figures in the history of the American Baseball Coaches Association and amateur baseball. Dave Keilitz devoted more than six decades to serving the game as a player, coach, athletic director, ABCA Executive Director, mentor and friend. His vision transformed the ABCA, strengthened baseball at every level and impacted generations of coaches and student-athletes. More importantly, Dave made everyone around him feel valued. His kindness, integrity and unwavering commitment to others will be remembered just as much as his extraordinary accomplishments. We invite you to join us in celebrating Dave's remarkable life and legacy by reading our tribute. Please keep the Keilitz family in your thoughts and prayers. abca.org/ABCA/News/2026…

Ever wonder what a big league bullpen looks like?? @Angels LHP Derek Clark (@dclark3012) has set himself up beautifully for the 2026 season - Here, he’s sitting his last recorded game velo (89-91) after coming off a scope this past summer, showing elite shapes, commanding the zone with every pitch type, even the newest addition 👀

⚾️ Player of the Week ⚾️ Brady Krzciok had multiple hits in all four of the Chippewas' games on the week, opening with a double and a home run at Michigan and continuing with four doubles among seven hits against the Eagles. He also drew two walks on the week for a .579 on-base percentage, and scored seven runs. His RBI double put the Chippewas ahead for good in their 10-9 series-opening win over EMU, and he led off with a single and later scored a run to spark CMU's three-run eighth inning that gave it a 7-6 lead in the series finale with the Eagles. @CMUBaseball | #MACtion
