WVU Release NCBWA Tabs Wetherholt as Preseason All-American

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Feb. 6, 2024) Junior infielder JJ Wetherholt of the West Virginia University baseball team has been named a preseason First-Team All-American by the NCBWA.



It is his fifth major honor of the preseason after having previously been selected as the Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year and a preseason All-American by Perfect Game, D1Baseball, and Baseball America.



Wetherholt, a unanimous First-Team All-American in 2023 and reigning Big 12 Player of the Year, led the nation with a .449 batting average a season ago while also pacing the Mountaineers with 16 home runs, 60 RBI, 67 runs, 24 doubles and 36 stolen bases.



The Mars, Pennsylvania native has played in 109 games in two seasons with WVU. He has a career .381 batting average to go along with 21 home runs, 99 RBI, 41 doubles and 51 stolen bases.



Wetherholt is just the third Mountaineer in program history to be named a preseason First-Team All-American after Matt Schubert (Collegiate Baseball, 1992) and Braden Zarbnisky (NCBWA, 2018).



Entering the 2024 season, Wetherholt is projected as one of the top selections in the upcoming MLB Draft including being listed as the top prospect by MLB.com, Baseball America and Perfect Game.



The Mountaineers begin the 2024 campaign on Feb. 16, on the road at Stetson in DeLand, Florida. The first chance to catch WVU at Wagener Field at Monongalia County Ballpark will be on Feb. 28, when the Mountaineers take on Canisius.

it's time to impeach Mayorkas !!! ... a full vote on the House floor... so we can see the RINOs...

Joe Biden has an inviolable legal, moral and constitutional duty to defend our border — and to deter, detain and deport those who violate it.

Biden has willfully and lawlessly abrogated that duty and instead implemented, by choice and design, the largest resettlement scheme in the history of the world: mass relocating and releasing MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of illegals into our cities at an immeasurable cost in human suffering and human lives.

Child trafficking. Labor trafficking. Sex trafficking. The vilest abuse at an industrial scale. Torment and torture. Modern-day slavery.

Communities bankrupted. Hospitals drowning. Towns besieged. Police incapacitated. Schools overrun. Our children’s education shipwrecked. Our nation’s finances drained dry.

Drug overdoses. Fentanyl deaths. Gangland executions. One preventable crime, one preventable assault, one preventable murder after another — all perpetrated by those who have no right whatsoever to be here.

Criminal trespassers escorted into our neighborhoods by our own government with our own taxpayer dollars.

Our border nullified. Our immigration laws suspended. Our sovereignty terminated. Our social fabric rended and unraveled. Our asylum system corrupted and disfigured beyond recognition.

Citizens robbed, trampled, disenfranchised.

Cartels enriched, emboldened, empowered.An endless nightmare train of indignity and horror.

All engineered and orchestrated by the criminal regime at 1600 Penn.

An Administration without conscience. Without remorse. Without a twinge of human regret for the death and devastation they have wrought.

The temples of our laws smashed and broken. The citadel of human achievement now a squalid refugee camp.

Our Constitution discarded. Our Republic lowered into the deepest state of humiliation.

The choice now is to love America or lose it forever.

Remove Biden from the ballot for leading this deadly insurrection.

Impeach him. Impeach Mayorkas. Make all appropriate criminal referrals to DOJ.

Defund all releases of illegals. Prohibit all further resettlement. Vote all day, every day, if that is what it takes to expose the Democrats’ total, radical and unrelenting complicity in this monstrous conspiracy against this nation and its people.


For there is not nearly so much time as you think. The hour is late.

Martinsburg (W.Va.) athlete Murphy Clement told me that ultimately his decision came down to West Virginia and Shepherd but ultimately he just felt the family feeling in Morgantown and having a brother there certainly helped that choice. He knew it was home after he visited Jan. 20. The coaches were obviously very excited that he was accepting a preferred walk-on and they really wanted him at West Virginia. He told me that he created a strong bond with them and it means a lot to be able to stay home and play for his home-state team because he always grew up watching them and wanting to be in that position. He is being targeted as an athlete that could play running back or even end up on defense, but they've told him they like his versatility, vision, speed and ability to break tackles.

One team definitely won’t be returning to the playoffs next season….

Washington's roster has been completely pillaged by other schools... this is officially a new RECORD for player departures 😳

Less than a month ago, Head Coach Kalen DeBoer left to take the Alabama job. Since then, they've lost a record 15 players to other Power 4 Conference teams:

CB Jabbar Muhammad ➡️ Oregon 🦆
CB Jaivion Green ➡️ Stanford 🌲
S Asa Turner ➡️ Florida 🐊
S Meesh Powell ➡️ Miami 🙌
WR Germie Bernard ➡️ Alabama 🐘
WR Taeshaun Lyons ➡️ Utah 🔴⚪️
TE Tre Watson ➡️ Texas A&M 👍
QB Austin Mack ➡️ Alabama 🐘
LG Nate Kalepo ➡️ Ole Miss 🦈
RG Geirean Hatchett ➡️ Oklahoma ⭕️
RG Julius Buelow ➡️ Ole Miss 🦈
C Parker Brailsford ➡️ Alabama 🐘
DE BJ Green ➡️ Colorado 🦬
DE Noah Carter ➡️ Alabama 🐘
LB Ethan Barr ➡️ UCF ⚔️

Less than a month ago, the Huskies were playing for a National Championship...

Now, other top programs have stolen their best players. Out of 22 starters on Offense & Defense last season, only TWO are returning to Washington 😬

Next season is going to be ROUGH for the Huskies.

OT: For youth, rec league, coaches or those thinking about coaching.

I have coached youth sports for more years than I care to admit. Before I had kids, I coached lacrosse in Baltimore. When I had kids I coached kids in soccer and lacrosse. When I moved to Western PA, I coached soccer for my kids. After my kids were grown, I helped the Y start a lacrosse program by coaching.

I never played soccer and certainly never coached it. I did it because I loved sports and believed that playing team sports can impact kids in many ways. My goal was never to produce a D1 athlete. I focused on fundamentals and team play. I wanted the kids to have fun, but the fun was from playing and working on the game.

I was famous for saying the two best days of the season was the first practice and the last game.

In Baltimore I had the pleasure of coaching two kids who were the exact age of my two oldest boys. God gifted those two kids tremendous athletic ability. I coached them, my guess from 91-97, till I moved to Western PA. Yesterday my wife read me what the youngest kid posted on Facebook.
Unfortunately, the older brother lost the fight on the streets of Baltimore about two years ago. One of the saddest days of my life and still hurts my heart anytime I think of him. (Man, I hate the leadership in that city since the day of William Donald Shaffer)

Long story short, if you coach or think you might want too but are afraid to commit, read below. I would often think was it worth it. Am I benefiting these kids? I am not a great athlete nor a tactician of the game.

RIP EJ. Congratulations Tevin on your journey and the man you have become. I love and miss your whole family.

Soccer Part I.
I had to reflect deeply on soccer after Ej died. The most interesting thing was I played soccer competitively for about 18 years and I didn't even like it that much. My favorite sport is Lacrosse. I didn't choose to play soccer…. I started playing soccer at the age of 2 because I was a child given options based on my parents'beliefs. Even if I said I wanted to play…. I know now, I had no clue what the **** I was talking about. My parents never once in my life forced me to play sports and I always enjoyed playing but to this day I don't understand WHY. I absolutely hate running and I didn't like speaking. Running and communication is all the game is. Skill is optional and there isn't a right or wrong way to play.
My indoctrination into playing soccer was all motivated by my older brother. At a young age, he was the example outlined in my subconscious of how I played the game. It's just a game I always thought. I didn't understand why he took it so serious. My experience of playing soccer competitively started at Rosedale Rec and ended with the U-20 New York Redbull Academy.
Just like that, you can lose passion for something you spent some much of your time in which meant nothing in so many ways. I lost the passion I never truly had for something that was given to me. To be honest I never really understood soccer until I stopped playing and learned about the art behind it “joga bonito” . The understanding of language is the understanding of how you perceive it but that doesn't good well with an angry soul that doesn't read well and speaks American English. I tried to kill everyone on the soccer field. I thought you had to hurt everyone and then make as many goals as possible and nobody ever stopped me. Nobody ever asked how I felt about soccer. When things become so normal you just do it. It's weird.
Its just a game. Find your way and be creative. There are so many skills you can learn about life doing anything. Soccer taught me so much. ❤️

Soccer Part II
I realized I only loved playing soccer because of the soccer community. I loved my teammates, coaches, the families that supported me, the friends I made, and the challenges it put me through. I understand now, it is about lessons from the experiences of playing each match which helped me in life. It was never about winning. I never cared about winning. All I cared about was the community that helped me when they knew we didn't have electricity, food, and water at home. The community knew we didn't have a car or enough gas money to get to the games. Friends and family looked after me because they cared about me. A community that allowed me to be creative in a skill called soccer. I was terrible in school and couldn't read well, so soccer was the only thing I was good at according to my view of society.
I mentally played a game for so long the wrong way. It was just a part of life and I didn't have the composure or emotional skills to carry on with it. The best thing about it is I lived the experiences and now I can enjoy the art the way I see it. It’s just life. You can be great at anything. Just depends on how much you want it and the humans that are around you.
The people around you make you who you are.
