The Saddleback baseball team ran its total of commitments to nine this past week when three more players signed on the dotted line with 4-year universities.

Sophomores Zack Richmond and Rich Kemp along with freshman Blaine Jones all made decisions regarding their futures, according to the baseball office.

Richmond, a right-handed pitcher from Chino Hills High , committed to Colorado State-Pueblo after pitching in four games for the Gauchos in 2009. He is 6-foot-2, 230 pounds and plans to major in psychology.

Kemp decided to stay in-state as he committed to Cal State East Bay. The right-handed pitcher from Mission Viejo High pitched in 20 games for Saddleback, finishing with a 4.43 ERA and striking our 28 batters in 42.2 innings of work.

Opposing batters hit just .267 off Kemp, who led Gaucho pitchers that started five or more games. He plans to major in history.

Right-handed pitcher Blaine Jones became the first freshman to commit during the off-season as he opted to leave after one season to play at Seattle University, a new NCAA Division I program that will start baseball in 2010.

Jones came to Saddleback from Santa Margarita Catholic High School and appeared in 11 games for the Gauchos, striking out 31 batters in just 29 innings of work.

Max Whieldon Commits to Seattle University!

Max Whieldon came to RedLine with a HUGE mountain to climb! At 6’9″, 178 pounds, and limited pitching experience, Max’s dream was to play Division 1 baseball. In less then a year of training with the staff at RedLine, Max added nearly 30 pounds of strength and 9 mph on his fastball! Through his hard work and consistent training, he has made his way to Seattle University.
Max may be RedLine’s greatest success story, but it was his determination and will to get to the highest level that made his goal possible. We are so happy for Max and we know that he will continue to improve because of the incredible work ethic that he learned and instilled here at RedLine!

Before I came to RedLine I thought that athletic ability was all you needed to play any sport. However, RedLine has showed me that being an athlete is much more than ability. They have taught me so much and have sculpted me into more than just an athlete. RedLine has helped me take my golf game to completely different level.

Thank you, RedLine.

“RedLine Athletics has been worth every penny. If it were not for RedLine my baseball career would be over. They helped take my game to the next level and prepared me for college baseball. There is no better training facility for serious athletes than RedLine Athletics.”

Zack Richmond is Headed to Colorado State-Pueblo!

After two plus years of training and waiting, Zack Richmond signed a National Letter of Intent with Colorado State Universtiy-Pueblo to pitch for the Thunderwolves. Zack came to RedLine from Saddleback College as a converted pitcher looking for help athletically and mechanically. From the time he set foot in our doors, he has worked extremely hard and now all that work has paid off. Pueblo came out and saw him throw at RedLine and offered him a scholarship!

Colorado State-Pueblo is also the alma mater of RedLine’s hitting instructor, Dan Cummins. We wish the best for Zack and continued success!

Blaine Jones

I promise you that there is no better workout facility around, and you’re guaranteed to create friendships along the way. Please go to RedLine! You wont regret it!

The RedLine staff has always been incredible to my family and me. This is the only place that I am able to work out alongside my siblings and dad. The trainers promote an intense, but fun training environment that suits anyone. They are extremely knowledgeable and are able to relate to each and every client while making them bigger, faster and stronger.

Since beginning my training with Lindsey, Erik, and Dave, I have become much more versatile and agile. I have noticed in the past three years that I am getting to more balls in the outfield and getting better jumps on steals. They emphasize speed and quickness in everything they do, and that is what it takes to get to the next level. My opportunities at the Division I level have grown exponentially because of the confidence my coach has in my abilities. There is nothing better than knowing your coach feels at ease when he puts you in the most clutch situation.
