When I played in community college, they didn’t care how hard we threw; they just wanted us to get outs. That’s good when you’re competing on the field–you have to get outs or you’re not going to pitch. But you’re not moving on to the next level unless you can hit pretty big velocity targets.
Lead pitching instructor Noah Briley graduated from Heritage Christian Academy in Olathe, Kansas, where he earned All-Conference and All-State awards while leading the Chargers to two state tournament appearances. After high school, Briley continued his baseball career at Neosho County Community College, where he helped the team to the Super Regionals of the NJCCA Division I World Series and a top 25 rating. Briley completed his collegiate career at Baker University before joining Premier Baseball.
