Mount baseball lands monster catcher

I attended a mock signing for three baseball players at a high school in my Patch, and one of them, Andrew Clow, is headed to the Mount. See his video interview and gaudy stats here.


His team (C. Milton Wright) went undefeated and won the state title last year with Clow behind the plate for every game.


Another coach in the county told me he thought Clow had a chance to play for an ACC school. Great signing by the Mount.

Baseball's assistant, Smith, to move on

Mount St. Mary's assistant baseball coach Eric Smith has resigned from his post with the program to pursue other endeavors. Smith made the decision after the Mount's season ended this year and informed his players Wednesday.


Smith, class of 2007, coached for three years after completing a record-breaking career that will stand as one of the best in Mount history. The first baseman graduated as the school's all-time leader in hits (198), runs (127), RBI (139) total bases (304) and number of times hit by a pitch (33). In 2008 senior Josh Vittek surpassed Smith in all of those categories except for times hit by a pitch. Smith was serving in his first year as an assistant coach in 2008 as the Mount won the Northeast Conference tournament.


A three-time second-team All-NEC selection, Smith also ranked third all-time in home runs (21), games played (173) and at bats (581). He was fourth in batting average (.341) and sixth in doubles (37) when he graduated.

Shane Eyler named NEC Player of the Year

This is a little late but sophomore Shane Eyler was selected as the Northeast Conference Baseball Player of the Year last week.

The Taneytown, Md., native - 10 minutes from campus in Emmitsburg - is the first Mount player in history to receive the honor.

He may supplant Eric Smith and Josh Vittek as the two best players in school history.
