Haven’t had the words to write this ….Through good and bad you were there. I know you are in a better place. But damn we miss you. Thanks for raising me. Wish I could go back and be and just say “thanks”. I love you Dad… RIP
Humbled and excited beyond belief to be named the first Head Baseball Coach at Gaston College! Thank you Dr. Hauser for this unique and tremendous opportunity.! Great team with more to come. Thanks JT Baker and Perfect Timing Baseball, development first. MAN I CANT WAIT!
Truly grateful for this group of players….so special! Coach Rand and Coach Mac, thanks for everything you have done and continue to do!! Dr. Hauser this is YOUR VISION! Humbled beyond belief that my coaching counterparts in this league voted for this honor. Even more special!
🚨And the good news just keeps coming this week…

Thank you to all of those who have reached out to my family and I concerned for our well-being. We are fine. We are deeply saddened for the families of the victims, but will continue to support this great University and community that our family now calls home!
#NinerStrong
Coached at 5 different Division 1 Universities and I have never seen a decision so egregious. What the NCAA did to N.C State today is criminal. The BS from last year and then this! Don’t have a dog in the fight . I apologize for the committee cause they don’t have the you stones.
Love Bo Robinson. Shame he didn’t get the opportunity that he truly deserved. Thanks to all the Charlotte folks who have embraced my family and I! Don’t know where the road takes my family and I from here, but will remain true to myself and my family. New doesn’t mean better.
Home……we are so fortunate to call Sims Park by that name! Great opening day W for our players,coaches,and college! 23-1 sounds really good but 1-0 at our house sounds amazing!!
#fearthehorn
Sorry for the “helicopter dad” moment but so proud of my daughter Bethany. Had 2 hits tonight for the Niners and coming home with a sweep! Keep grinding girl. I love you.
Only one thing better than recruiting for Gaston College baseball, and that’s taking a break to see my daughter living her dream and coaching softball at Charlotte!! # proud papa
Coached college baseball for over 20 years. It’s rare that you get the opportunity to work for a friend, mentor, and icon. Excited for the Hibbs’ and their new chapter. Bittersweet knowing we won’t be in the same dugout. The Doty’s will miss you my friend
#SeeYouInARegional
Thanks to all of you for reaching out, and the many true friends I have in this crazy game we all love. Putting my fate in my faith and and my family and have to believe that will be enough. Thanks again for all the well wishers!
After two shutouts in the home opener the Rhino pitching staff got a little BP! First pitch to the first “hitter”!! Dropping 💣!! Act like you been there before….. c’mon man!!! LOL LOVE THIS GROUP!!!
Had to take a day to process the whirlwind that has been building the Rhino baseball program from scratch. COULDN’T BE more proud of how our coaches and players competed after only 5 days of practices! Thanks Dr. Hauser for for giving us the opportunity to succeed!
#fearthehorn
"What average players consider a sacrifice, great players consider a habit." Don’t tell your team to grind, it’s baseball! Teach them daily habits, and how to play the game. That is not a “grind.”
Could not be more proud to be a part of Niner Nation. I have never enjoyed working for and with a head coach more. Congrats
@lorenhibbs49
you do it the right way and you’ve earned it!!!
Dissatisfied with the loss but proud of the effort! 33-3 on the season but 0-1 today! We EXPECT to win. No’s on the road recruiting tomorrow. We won’t stop. If you can play then come be a part of this “first year” program!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!! So excited to spend time with these special people. Getting ready to get to get back to our second family soon!!
#NinerNation
Happy 23rd Birthday to my beautiful daughter! I love her so much and miss seeing her everyday! Doing grown-up things now and couldn’t be prouder of the woman she has become!

So this happened..... how about not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 commits to talk about in the next couple days!!! 3 Quality arms and a Dude to catch em!!! Be telling you about them all soon. 3 visits with ballers today. I���ll say it again IF YOU CAN PLAY WE WILL FIND YOU!!!
Special Thanks to Zach Arns for having me as the halftime guest last night.
Talked all things Springdale, and about my new opportunity at Perfect Timing. Super excited about both!!
Day late, but how about Justin Verlander. Been a weird couple months but watching him made me remember why I got into this game. To have the opportunity to help athletes reach their potential, nobody I ever coached had more talent or got more out of his ability.
#halloffamer
Just committed a HUGE piece to our roster this spring! I’m so grateful that these young men trust us to get them where they deserve to be! Rhino baseball is rolling and we won’t stop!!!
Exited about the progress and work ethic of the athletes here at PT! Dudes getting better. 37 year old Justin Verlander has 217 IP this season, maybe we need to train differently not take more time off!
Really enjoyed catching up with old friends and seeing quality baseball at the NC STATE GAMES! Have coached in lots of places but this state always produces some DUDES! Good luck to you all as you pursue all your opportunities! PS.. don’t sleep on us JUCO BANDITS
Some guys will do anything to stay out of work (like play for a spot in the National Championship Game tomorrow!) Congrats to the Wingate Bulldogs and OUR new assistant coach and RC here at Gaston College! Only one thing left to do Coach Rand......
What an unbelievable month for our baseball team (15-0). Coaches, players and perhaps most importantly our entire Gaston College family has been so supportive! Special thanks to Dr H. Excited to send the basketball team out the right way tonight!! March is 1 day away…. WE READY!
Talk all the time about how everyone wants to be a starting pitcher… great teams have guys that embrace the bullpen. The last 9 outs are always the toughest to get…. Man I love college baseball!
Man I love the group that we are gonna make a little history with this fall...6 additions in the last three weeks and still going strong, gotta get info on these young men out ASAP... but right now it’s about watching Coach Rand and the Bulldogs!! Creating our culture already!
First Rhino camp in the books! Thanks to all who attended! If you didn’t make it that’s cool… guess you don’t need exposure from a team that has 5 D1 signees already for next year…. Keep waiting on those preferred walk- on “offers” No’s going up!!
@CharlotteSB
Hey I know that young lady! Thank goodness she looks like her mother! I love you Beth. Big things coming for you and your teammates this spring! Can’t believe she’s a Senior.
So excited about the 29 guys we already have coming!! We are close to having our ENTIRE TEAM in place. If you want development you want smaller roster sizes. Tough to coach a football team!! Shout out to Coach Rand and Coach McAllister you guys are getting it done!
Another great get for Gaston College baseball! Sign a stud and Transfer Tuesday combine with a LHP that WILL BE A DUDE! The (insert mascot here) will be ready to roll this fall! BTW best mascot ever coming soon! So much going on I’m like…..
There is NOTHING that compares to collegiate athletics and the passion of our athletes. Are you kidding me with this softball game tonight!
#refusetolose

#halloffamer
@JustinVerlander
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Huge Jacob Rand fan, but I’m also turning into a HUGE WINGATE BASEBALL FAN!! Bring the ring to GC my man! Congratulations to Coach Gregory, Coach White and the grit and toughness of Wingate baseball
GREAT week for the boys at
@gcathletics_
Baseball!! Two 90+ DUDES and two freshmen sitting up 80’s! OH… two middle of the order transfer LH-bats are ready to do their thing as well.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The debate raging about hitting philosophies and analytics is good for the game. Promotes thought and that is never a bad thing. One thing I DO KNOW, pitching wins. Walker Buehler has great stuff. Dodgers win Game 3. Pitch and play defense.....I know so old school.
Happy beyond belief for Wingate Baseball! Great coaches making a difference… now Coach Rand get your tail over to Gaston and bring that mojo with you!! Thrilled your a part of this new adventure.
More good vibes coming from the Rhino recruiting trail! We will be sending out information on the athletes in this class coming soon!!! Just haven’t had the time with all the commitments…… you know how it goes!
So.. 6 no-hitters in MLB already before end of May. How is this possible with Trac-man, Rapsodo, and blast motion not to mention launch angle. Maybe solid contact and flat bat paths aren’t so “old school” just a thought!
Rich Hill 38 years old and giving a clinic on PITCHING, Changing eye level, and speeds. You think he’s worried about how hard he is throwing on his pull-downs? Just sayin.
@RazorbackBSB
Hosting the Hogs at BB&T and Hayes stadium this spring! What a great opportunity for our players! Always pushing to compete against the very best. CAN’T Wait.
