If your a fan of Liberty Baseball and love to play golf don't miss a great chance to visit with current and former players and the coaching staff.  The Flames Diamond Collective is thrilled to introduce the first annual FDC Golf Tournament on Saturday May 4th at Ivy Hills in Forest.  If you just have 1 or 2 players feel free to reach out and we may be able to pair you up with others.  We've had tremendous interest already from former players before we opened it up to the public and we expect to sell out the maximum amount of teams Ivy will allow.  There's also a home baseball game that afternoon scheduled for 4 PM.  

The FDC had a very good 2023 and we'd love to do even more in 2024 and be able to work with every player on the roster in some way.  As we've mentioned before the NCAA has limited Baseball to just 11.7 scholarships for the entire roster.  We also provided quite a few volunteer hours in the community through the collective.  I can also tell you that each member of the board of the FDC has contributed financially and given up countless hours to see this succeed.  Often times, players are left with a difficult decision as we all know Liberty is a private school and can be quite costly.  The University has done everything it can to provide the coaches with the resources and facilities that make the program consistently a top 50 program in the nation.  NIL is here to stay and a small contribution of even $25 on a 1 off basis or monthly basis can go a long way towards helping the FDC.  Through our incredible team of contributors and donors we're able to pass along virtually all proceeds to the players and we are a registered 501C3.  

Below is a little more about the organization and feel free to reach out to any member of our team with questions.

Who's In & Who's out

  When a coaching change takes place in 2024 in any sport there's going to be all kinds of roster movement.  Ian Mccaw moved about as quickly as he possibly could to make a new head coach hire in Bradley LeCroy but that didn't stop a good portion of the top returning production from entering the portal.  The Flames faired fairly well in keeping their incoming commitments together other than their top HS signee Sawyer Black.  Coach LeCroy continues to work to finalize his coaching staff and the roster and we're just a little over 3 weeks away from the start of classes.  There's always the potential for some of those that have entered the portal but have not yet committed or found a home to their liking to return.  Here's a look at below on where things stand as of late Sunday evening. Portal - Entered Todd Hudson - Hudson entered the portal and committed to Miami even before Scott Jackson had resigned Brayden Horton - Horton entered the portal after the chan...

2024 Transfers & Signings

  We're now a few weeks removed from the end of the 24 baseball season that saw the Flames go 24-34 including 11-13 in CUSA play and 2-2 in the CUSA tournament.  It's time to turn the page to see who is coming and going for the 25 version of the Flames.   First, we start with those that are in the portal. Todd Hudson - Hudson is by far the most impactful player lost in the portal.  Hudson showed flashes on the mound the last 2 years but was inconsistent.  He did however make a quite big impact in the lineup as the DH as he hit .284 with 11 HR's and 40 RBI's and .975 OPS.  He was pretty much locked into the DH spot.  Hudson has transferred to the Miami Hurricanes.   Brian Mclellin - Mclellin was a JUCO transfer that played quite a bit in the first half of the season at 1B where he played excellent defense.  His bat faded as the season wore on as he ended at .246 with 6 HR's and 24 RBI's.  He was a solid depth piece for the Fla...

  The weather has turned a bit and Opening week is here.  Liberty Baseball has been ready to turn the page for quite a while on what proved to be one of the more disappointing seasons in 2023 in the programs history.  Very little went right in 2023 other than the development of a young core that the Flames could build around along with a handful of veterans.  The offseason also saw quite a few changes including the departure of both assistant coaches in Tyler Cannon and Matt Williams.  However,  as usual the Flames reloaded with Tyler Robinson from Campbell and former Flames SS Matt Williams who had spent the last several years as a scout following a successful MILB career with the St. Louis Cardinals.  Head Coach Scott Jackson moved quickly to get his top target in each situation.  Robinson's name has really exploded onto the seen with the development of power arms like Cade Kuehler and Thomas Harrington among others.  Williams had been a sl...
