UNCW Offense:
UNCW continued to be an offensive leader in the CAA, and nationally, in the 2012 season with the program. The Seahawks ranked in the nation's top-30 in eight categories, including batting average (22nd), runs (27th), hits (12th), doubles (23rd), home runs (11th) and stolen bases (12th).

In 2013 UNCW laid claim to two All-Americans in Ryan LaGrange and 23rd round pick of the San Diego Padres Michael Bass. Both led a stellar offensive line up for a Seahawks team that reached a 21st ranking nationally and defeated a UNC team that was ranked #1 in every national poll. LaGrange finished with a .370 batting average with 78 hits, 14 doubles and 5 home runs; while Bass boasted a team high .380 average including 21 doubles, 81 base hits, 4 home runs and was 26-of-27 on stolen bases.

Equipment:
Each camper must bring his own baseball equipment. Players should be properly equipped; a glove, hat, bat, batting gloves, cleats, running shoes, baseball pants, belt, and socks. Helmets will be available for those of you that don't own one.
