This week on the ABCA Podcast we check in with another ABCA/ATEC National Coach of the Year award recipient with Herkimer’s Jason Rathbun. Herkimer won this year’s NJCAA Div. III National Championship with a 41-7 record. Herkimer made their 7th world series appearance this year. The Generals had three ABCA/Rawlings All-American’s in Greg Farone, Ryan Packard, and Dakota Britt. Rathbun took over the program in 2005 and the impact was immediate, breaking the school record for wins in his first season. Rathbun has a unique path in that he started out in the military. His family has had 5 generations of military personnel. We got a chance to catch up with Coach Rathbun while he is with the reigning Cape League Champion Brewster Whitecaps this Summer. This is an entertaining listen, and we get on a deep dive on accountability. The ABCA Podcast is presented by Netting Pros.
