The official start of the 2011 college baseball season is still three weeks away, when games begin on February 18. However, the unofficial start to the season was yesterday, when teams around the country officially started college baseball’s version of spring training.
No more individual workouts. It’s all team oriented now. With all that in mind, we thought we would share a few comments from college baseball coaches, players and teams that we saw yesterday on Twitter.
Remember, you can follow us on Twitter as well @CB360updates.

1st Practice & lots of alums came by. John Maine, Spencer Steedley, & Adam Mills – all getting ready for their season. Hibbs & Gyoerkoe too! Scrimmage was fairly clean. Corbin Shive was very efficient. Also had Shane Brown & Justin Wilson back in the lineups! Both looked good.
