A Message From Coach Nick DeFendis For the past 14 years, this program has been built on integrity. We understand its literally impossible to keep every family happy but that’s what we strive for. We rely on communication with our families in order to get through the process. Our mission is to have quality teams throughout the program, combined with a focus on development. Working through high school and into a good college, achieving a degree and having the luxury of playing college ball is a reality at Richmond County Baseball. That is what we strive for and what we have done for 14 years. On the following pages, there is a growing list of players that will be moving onto the next level. Congratulations gentlemen. For a full list of RCBC players in college baseball visit www.rcbclub.com. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Exciting news too as I also want to welcome back to RCBC Coach Mike Hanrahan and Coach Mike Lopiparo. Mike Hanrahan will be both a Coach and Special Assistant for Player Development. Coach Lope returns as College Placement Coordinator where he will serve as college liaison and special advisor to our coaches and players. Both coaches bring a wealth of coaching experience in both travel and high school baseball and its great to have them both back.
