Baseball players romanticize the city of Omaha, Nebraska, as all roads lead there each year for the College World Series. 

William Fleming ’17 was no different at Wake Forest. 

Turns out, Omaha is not a bad spot to be now either. There, William is one call away from becoming the first-ever Christ School alumnus to reach the major league level. 

Between tweaking the lineup in some spots and the quality of pitching that Christ School varsity baseball has seen, head coach Wes King P’27 feels supremely confident in his guys moving forward. 

The Greenies did not give up a run all weekend in wins over Carolina Day (11-0 on Friday) and Durham Academy (15-0). In turn, the Greenies did their part at the plate to ensure neither game at Bourne Field went past five innings due to the mercy rule. 

CHESNEE, S.C. - Luka Rose ’25 was dialed in Wednesday, everywhere and every way. 

A baseball player cannot do much better than being the winning pitcher and leading hitter on the same night. 

Better get what you can when you can off Charlie Collins ’24.

Charlie made his second home start of the season Saturday. And much like the first, he only got more unhittable with each ensuing pitch. Working fast on a cold day, the Western Carolina University recruit struck out 10 and allowed his only runs in the first inning of a 6-2 complete game win over Charlotte Latin.

The Greenies (7-2) gave their ace three runs of support in the third inning and again in the fifth. 

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Ethan Rose ’24 smoking a double down the right-field line to start the game was an auspicious start. 

Christ School proceeded to feast on Greenville (S.C.) Hurricanes pitching for 17 hits – 10 more than the seven combined hits in their last three games – to win on the road Wednesday, 13-5.  

SANFORD, Fla. – Indecision or the itsy-bitsiest mistake will come back to haunt you against this Christ School baseball team. 

Two opponents so far in the Florida League High School Invitational have committed a total of nine errors. But the Greenies’ scrappiness and speed has a lot to do with that. 

SANFORD, Fla. – No bats, balls, or gloves today. 

Christ School went into the Florida League High School Invitational with a predetermined schedule, knowing that Tuesday would be reserved solely for a team outing to Universal Studios. 

CANDLER, N.C. - Jonathan Reece ’25 ran the bases like it was no big deal Saturday, waiting for every runner in front of him to properly touch second, third, and home plate. 

It wasn’t even the catcher’s first grand slam in a little over a year with the Christ School baseball program, which speaks to the kind of run that Jonathan has been on. 

When a pitcher like Charlie Collins ’24 is dealing, it’s the best icebreaker of them all. 

The Western Carolina University recruit got better as Thursday night’s game wore on and Christ School’s bats eventually caught up for a 9-0 shutout of visiting Cannon School. 

Day Student Proctor and fifth-year senior Jacob Wilde ’24 had the best kind of Blue Christmas.

Jacob verbally committed Monday to play baseball for Brevard College, whose predominant color is blue.

No one is looking forward to baseball in 2024 more than Reese Ballard ’24.

He only got four games under his belt last spring before losing the rest of his junior season to an injury.

As of Friday, there are now 10 seniors from Christ School’s Class of 2024 who have committed to play college sports.

Catcher, outfielder, corner infielder, and relief pitcher.

Christ School baseball coach Wes King P’27 can theoretically put Jake Gravley ’24 just about everywhere in his lineup. 

It’s the ultimate double play for Pat James.                       

Already part of the Christ School Athletic Hall of Fame, Pat was recently added to the N.C. Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Just ask state champion High Point Wesleyan how effective Charlie Collins ’24 can be when his stuff is working.

Charlie gave up only two earned runs, six hits, and no walks when Christ School varsity baseball soundly beat the Trojans, 14-4, back on April 1.

He’s a Natural.

No, really.

The Kansas City Royals announced Tuesday that they are promoting Christ School alumnus William Fleming ’17 to their Double-A affiliate – the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.

A new tradition served as the unofficial start to Christ School's 123rd Commencement Weekend on Thursday night.

DURHAM – Pitching on short rest, Charlie Collins ’24 made it a dreadfully long afternoon for Durham Academy.

Either looking or swinging, the Cavaliers never managed to catch up with Christ School’s ace – Charlie struck out 11 batters in the first six innings of Saturday’s 9-0 shutout win.

RABUN GAP, Ga.  - Like most at his position, Christ School’s catcher does thankless work every game that never shows up in the box score.

Tuesday might as well have been Jonathan Reece ’25 Appreciation Night with his statistical output.

Matthew Hammel ’23 does not foresee playing baseball beyond the club or intramural level at Appalachian State University.

His senior season would be a pretty hard act to follow.
