Happy New Year! The 2010 baseball season is almost here and we are always willing to try something new to stir interest! This year we are going to have senior co-captain Matt Burns provide a diary of the season.
Matt will let you in on the daily doings of SUNY Plattsburgh baseball players and how they balance academics, athletics and community service.
Matt has been through it all in his first three seasons. As a freshman and sophomore Matt was a utility infielder. Trying to find a way for more playing time, he became a catcher and served as the Cards starting catcher in 2009. This season, Matt will see playing time as a catcher, infielder and designated hitter.
As a captain, Matt is one of the men responsible for the team working hard on the three-prong Cardinal baseball approach: Athletic Excellence, Academic Achievement, Community Service.
Our players worked very hard this off-season under the guidance of Matt and fellow co-captain Alex Read. Academically our team achieved a 2.9 grade-point average for the fall semester. And, our players performed over 500 hours of community service during the fall semester.
