Penn College Spotlight On Baseball

0 Comments

Player development. That is what Pennsylvania College of Technology baseball has been all about under coach Chris Howard, a former professional himself, and the results speak for themselves.

Last season, the Wildcats made their sixth straight playoff appearance and finished second in the United East Conference for the third time since 2017, posting a 22-20 overall and 16-8 UE mark in all UE games, earning him UE Coach of the Year honors.

While it was Howard’s first United East Coach of the Year honor, he was named Coach of the Year twice previously — in 2008 and 2009 when the Wildcats competed in the Penn State University Athletic Conference. Over that time, his teams have produced 11 seasons with 20 wins, including four in the NCAA era that began in 2014-15. Penn College won the UE championship in 2015 and finished second in 2017, 2018 and 2023. It was third in 2022.

In 17 years, his teams have gone 342-244.

At the end of last season, Howard said, “We will be a young team next year after losing so many to graduation, but we have an outstanding ’23 class coming in, together with some really quality returners. I’m really excited about the opportunity to develop this next bunch.”

And so the process begins again, with the season opener set for Thursday at Elmira College.
