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.

2023 Incoming Class Reese Mooney -  Mooney Came on Flames Nation's radar from Football first.  He was originally committed to Vanderbilt to play QB but wanted to give both sports a shot.  Depending on the publication, he's currently the top rated recruit in the football class with a .87 ranking on 247 sports He had over 30 football scholarship offers in Football.  Mooney is a SS/3B and won 1st team all district,  Mooney hit .342 with a .470 OBP including 9 doubles 3 triples, a homer and was 13-14 in Stolen Bases (our future QB can run a bit).  Mooney was rated the number 2 overall 3rd basemen in the state of Louisiana.  At one time, Mooney had committed to Houston to play baseball before it became clear he could play both sports at the D1 level.   Brian Mclellin - The Flames recently picked up a commitment from Mclellin who was the starting SS at JUCO San Joaquin Delta where he hit ,358 with 3 homers and 35 RBI's to go along with 11 stolen bases.  Mclellin originally sign

  2024 Signees Liberty is expecting 10 NLI's tomorrow which consists of Juco & HS signees.  Macaddin Dye was originally a 2024 class member but he's already on campus and had a big fall and looks like he could factor into the mix.  You can look at the type of pitchers that Coach Robinson has targeted and really quickly see a bit of a philosophical shift to well built power right handed arms.  No surprise there as Campbell rolled a bunch of those guys through the program the last 5 years.  There are still plenty of different looks in the staff but this could be a good indicator of what the future holds.  Overall, the class is filled with big physical older players that will supplement a very young and athletic roster to go along with wiry athletes like Black & Early.   Sawyer Black  - Black is a 6'1 185 2B/OF prospect that hails from just over the VA border in Oak Ridge NC.  Liberty has snagged several players from Wesleyan over the years.  Black is a toolsy left han

  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 slick fielding SS that Coach Jackson was i
