On this episode of Coach’s Corner, host Walter Beede sits down with Rick McCarty, Head Coach at Abilene Christian University, to talk about what makes ACU’s program stand out — on the field and off. McCarty shares how the program blends faith, culture, and championship-caliber baseball, creating a unique experience for student-athletes.

Walter and Rick discuss:

ACU’s faith-based foundation and how it shapes recruiting and player development

Competing in the Western Athletic Conference and building a nationally competitive program

The value of multi-sport athletes and mental resilience in today’s college game

How high school players can prepare to make an immediate impact at the Division I level

Honest recruiting conversations, camps, and finding the “right fit” for both program and player

Rick’s leadership is rooted in developing the whole person—athlete, student, and teammate—while building a winning culture.
