Plus defender at SS, bat plays well. Fell and pitch-ability on the bump. Great player and teammate.
Another intriguing newcomer for @MACC_Baseball in Soph RHP/INF Collin Lovelady.
Two-way prospect carrying the FB through the zone at 87-88 mph (21+ IVB). Went to 11/5 CB at 72-73 mph (2500+ rpm). Also flashed SL/CH mix in the upper-70s.

Will be a young arm to keep 👀 on. Huge upside. Great workhorse and learner.
FR RHP Karsen Drummond (@MACC_Baseball) looks the part of an impact freshman for the Greyhounds.
Pitched at 89-90 mph w/ 20+ inches of HB. Spun sharp, sweeping SL at 79-80 mph (2500+ rpm). Also showed feel for diving CH at 81-83 mph.
Physical arm that works w/ looseness from a low-3/4 slot.

Quality arm on the left side. Competes as well as anyone. Rotation type arm. Takes his craft serious and tremendous feel on the bump.
Mid Fall update:
5.0 IP, 3 H, 4BB, 3K, 1.4 WHIP, .176 BAA, 0 ERA
FB 83-86, Slider 75-77, Curveball 73-75, Splitter 72-74, Sinker 80-82
Looking for a home in the Fall of ‘27

Tremendous person and player. Special kind of talent.
Marcus Dierks is the engine that makes @MiamiOHBaseball's offense go.
He hit .389/.534/.473 with a 43-34 BB-K mark and 40 SB last year — and Brian Smiley believes he could bat leadoff and play center field anywhere in the country.

A father attended 87 of his son’s 91 baseball games over six years.
His ex-wife attended 23.
He had a dated photo from almost every game.
At senior night, their son chose his mother to walk onto the field—and asked his father to stay in the bleachers.
The father assumed his ex had turned the boy against him.
His son took out his phone, searched their messages for “good game,” and showed him 79 results.

Battle Creek,
When I became owner of the Battle Jacks, I made one promise: we would build more than a baseball team. We would build a community institution Battle Creek could be proud to call its own.
This first full season under new management, we took a big step toward that vision.
We welcomed record crowds to MCCU Field, grew attendance by 17%, welcomed thousands of first-time fans (+210% vs. 2025), and increased our community giving and fundraising by more than 150% as we expanded our impact across Battle Creek and Southwest Michigan.
Those numbers are worth celebrating. But they only tell part of the story.
The real measure of this season is in the families who made MCCU Field part of their summer. The kids who fell in love with baseball. The fans who gave us another chance. The neighbors who became friends. And the thousands of people who came together all summer long around something that is uniquely Battle Creek.
We didn't get everything right. But we showed up, listened, learned, improved and kept moving forward. That is the standard we've set for ourselves and the culture we're building throughout this organization.
To every fan, sponsor, host family, volunteer, employee, coach, player, intern, and community partner who believed in what we're building: thank you.
You didn't just support a baseball team.
You helped us build something that belongs to Battle Creek, serves Southwest Michigan, and continues to establish MCCU Field as the Home of Southwest Michigan Baseball.
The scoreboard resets every spring. Our commitment to this community never does.
The work on 2027 has already begun. We'll keep investing, keep improving, keep dreaming bigger, and keep showing up for Battle Creek and Southwest Michigan.
Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in this community.
This is only the beginning.

🤯 WEB GEM! 🤯 Brendan Thompson (Cal State Bakersfield) made a highlight-reel diving catch to make the play of the night for Battle Creek against Traverse City! ⚾🔥 #NorthwoodsLeague #WebGem
Guy can pitch, competitor, and Wins.
Dude Alert❗️❗️
💥 PLAYER OF THE NIGHT! 💥 Marcus Dierks (Miami Ohio) set the tone early, launching this 1st-inning home run to start a huge night at the plate for Battle Creek! 🔥⚾ #NorthwoodsLeague #PlayerOfTheNight
Immediate openings for 2-3 pitchers to finish out the last few weeks in The Northwoods (Battle Creek) solid opportunity to get some quality innings right before fall ball starts up. Reach out if interested.
Gets better each time he toes the rubber. Came on late as a freshmen, good upside. Will be impactful in his sophomore campaign.
