The Beginning

Since arriving at Trinity I have felt I was home again.  Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. Upon my arrival I knew that I was going to have to crack down on the schoolwork and compete for a spot on the baseball team.  The Trinity baseball program has grown over the years and is a very powerful commanding team. The team is strongly disciplined and has a history of great success, while developing professional baseball players. With a great recruiting class this season consisting of 14 freshmen, I knew there was going to be a tremendous amount of competition and hard work. Right off the bat we got down to work with our lifting program. We started the lifting program over the summer to get a jump-start before we arrived at trinity, so in September we weren’t behind the upper classman. To keep up our great success our program follows a strict intense workout as well as a healthy diet.  To follow our daily workouts and team updates you can check out our baseball blog "Team Blog".

  Recently this month I had surgery on my leg and, as a result, I cannot lift, run, hit, or throw. This is going to throw me back from the other freshman trying to compete for a spot on the team. These next two months I’m going to face the biggest challenge with trying to impress the coaches. When I’m healthy and able to play again I’m going to have to work twice as hard as everyone else. I can’t wait for fall ball to begin.

The Road to Trinity Baseball

*Beau Attyah

Ever since I was a kid, I have always wanted to play college baseball and possibly even continue down the road with professional ball. Throughout my childhood, however, I told myself that I only wanted to play at a big division one school just like all those teams on ESPN. So when I started my junior year in high school, the biggest year for recruiting, I attended well over twenty different division one schools looking for the perfect fit. Sadly, I honestly didn’t find one - not even one - as right for me. I told myself that maybe baseball in college just wasn't for me and that I should just look for somewhere I can receive college experience. 
As the year wound down, I just couldn’t let my dreams of becoming a college athlete slip through my fingers. I expanded my options of not just playing baseball at a division one level, and researched thousands of other schools from DI through JC programs. One school that really jumped out at me was Trinity University. Even though I had no prior knowledge about Trinity, something hit me - it could have been their colors or the mascot - I just don’t know, but I knew this was the school for me. When I quickly researched the school and the baseball program, I found out that the academic level was going to be a stretch. While applying to Trinity I talked to the coaches and fell in love with the program, and knew that this was my number one choice. My dream became a reality when I realized I would be attending Trinity University. Ever since I got here it’s been the perfect fit for me and I cannot wait to continue here for the next four years.
