Zach Looney, a senior catcher is filled with positive thoughts as he heads into his last season of Bronco baseball. As a freshman, Looney helped contribute to the team's success and his role on the team has only increased since then. As the season nears, Santa Clara Broncos (SCB) caught up with Looney as he reflects on his experience as a Bronco and what he hopes to get out of the season.

 

SCB: As a freshman that came in and started 43 games, how have you developed as a player over these past three seasons?

 

ZL: I think the biggest thing that I have learned is there is so much more to the game than going out and hitting, throwing, running, etc. Our coaching staff does an unbelievable job of giving us tools to improve in the mental aspects of the game, which are extremely important. I had never realized how important your attitude, preparation, and mental approach was until I came to Santa Clara. They have also done an amazing job of putting a system into place to keep us healthy whether it is lifting, sleep, academics, nutrition, or even happiness.

The annual Bronco Baseball Kick Off Weekend was once again a big draw for alums, fans, and friends of the program. Over 200 people attended the Golf Outing, Bocce Ball Tournament, Preseason Banquet, and Alumni BBQ last weekend. Despite mother nature wrecking havoc on the schedule of events, the weekend was a huge success.

"Despite the rain, we had an awesome turnout from our alums, fans, and families in the program. It just goes to show you how invested people are in Bronco Baseball," said Head Coach Dan O'Brien. "We are grateful for the support we are given day in and day out - and our Kick Off Weekend was another example of how much people care about the success of our players and program."
