Crosby Looks Anxiously To Baseball At Coastal Carolina
GREENWICH, Ct. - Super Bowl Sunday is a day Player Crosby remembers well.
No, it wasn’t the game that stood out to the Brunswick School sophomore. It was the day that the 16-year-old was given an offer by Coastal Carolina.
“I was talking with 15-plus schools and talking to 20-plus coaches,” Crosby reflected. “It originally began in June when my coach got me on the phone with Northeastern and St. John’s. Then I hired a recruiting coordinator, Josh Rudd, and he sent my film out. I talked with schools in Florida and then Coastal. I started to talk with them weekly.”
A commitment to the Sun Belt Conference school came a short time following the offer.
“I had time to think about it after Super Bowl Sunday,” Crosby related. “It came down to the coaches. I felt I had the best relationship with (pitching) coach (Drew) Thomas.”
There was more that the 6-1 170-pound right-handed pitcher liked about Coastal Carolina.
“I followed them in the College World Series,” Crosy explained. “I’ve been to Myrtle (Beach) one or two times and I love the area.”
A virtual tour took place, though Crosby is hoping to check out the school in the near future.
“I talked with coach (Kevin) Schnall as well after I committed,” Crosby said in reference to the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. “Spring break I might be able to get down there for the N.C. State-Coastal game and golf with my dad.”
The coaches at Coastal see a promising future for the right-handed hurler.
“Mostly they said they like my athleticism on the mound,” Crosby noted. “They said I have a very fast arm and they talked about me being projectable. They see me a lot better in the future than I am right now.”
Recent improvement has helped Crosby get to this point.
“My coach Dave Fisher runs a weight lifting baseball program and I started with him two years ago,” Crosby explained. “The past two offseasons I’ve been in there five days a week. I go in with a buddy, Adonys Guzman (a Brunswick teammate committed to Boston College), after school. I throw and he hits. We do weight lifting one day, mobility the next and we also do other things like long toss.”
The thought of playing baseball at the next level is only a recent development.
“A little before this past summer when I was at my old school,” Crosby reflected about when it all began. “The season was cancelled because of covid and that’s when I started talking to schools. I started hitting 85 over the quarantine. I’m young for my age and I’m reclassifying.”
The 2023, who was previously at Rynick High School before going over to Brunswick School, believes he can be an asset to the Coastal Carolina program.
“I have that ‘Dog’ mentality,” Crosby explained. “I’m not going to back down from anything. I love competition. I love facing the best guy in the country. I’m gonna fail sometimes, but I’m going to succeed as well.”
His father, Fisher (his coach with the Warriors), and Rudd have been the biggest influences in helping Crosby take his game to be able to play three hours south by plane at a university that won the NCAA national baseball title in 2016.
“As much as I’m used to playing in the cold, it’s a huge factor,” Crosby said about the decision to commit at a school located in the Myrtle Beach metropolitan city of Conway. “I’m tired of this weather up here and will love to get down there.”
A 3.1 student undecided on a college major, Crosby looks forward to being part of the program at Brunswick leading up to his college days.
“My dad worked at Brunswick and wanted me to go there when I started taking baseball more seriously,” Crosby noted. “I knew I could go as a 2022 but took the opportunity (to go to Brunswick and reclassify). The academics are better and I knew they had five D-I commits. I’ll be driving soon, so I won’t have to take the bus.”
