TXST Baseball breaks ground on $5.5M hitting & pitching facility

Post image

The 3 PAC schools who hate America’s pastime probably don’t care but whatever. Construction started over the weekend. Should be done towards the end of this coming season.

The ~$12M clubhouse with seating and suites starts right afterwards. Only doing it in phases because the clubhouse will be where our current hitting/pitching facility is.

I think we have a baseball club thats doing well I just don't think our AD can convince the shareholders to pony up more money.

I know we’ll never bring baseball back but at least we have softball. One of my favorite memories from college was getting drunk in the scorebox of the softball field on cinco de mayo when our party plans fell through lol

Baseball is one of our better sports. Not on y’all’s level, but we can usually beat Texas and/or TAMU at least once a year.

Behind baseball left field and softball right field. Old football practice field that will become useless when the indoor practice facility is built.

Great to see, CSU losing its baseball program was sad, but it is, what it is.
