With the kickoff of the 2024 Collegiate baseball season behind us we want to recognize a few of our GRB STiKS alumni weekly as we continue to follow their journey throughout the season.  So far in the early season 52 STiKS Alumni have seen action across all levels with many more expected to see the field as the NCAA D3 and Junior College seasons are ramping up. As a way to recognize our alumni we will be selecting an Offensive Player of the Week, Pitcher of the Week and a Freshman of the Week.
