What happened to Cal State Fullerton baseball?

They suck now and haven’t been too good in a while. Used to be essentially an Omaha lock growing up

Trickling to mediocrity since Augie Garrido left?

Same thing that happened to the Lady Techsters.
Can’t compete with big money programs.
Things change.

Remember Wichita State?

California college baseball is more or less dead. Basically the only one of the small schools that used to be good still playing well is UCI. UCLA, USC, Cal, and Stanford are all terrible.

It’s hard to recruit against these bigger programs in the sec/acc who have invested in facilities.
Look how many California players are on SEC rosters, and starting. You maybe had 1 or 2 cali guys per school a few years ago now it’s multiple.

Rice has taken a hard fall as well

If teams are able to offer 32 full scholarships, then that would cull the Fullerton types. They would be regulated to "FCS" in baseball.

1998 regional game vs CSF was insane. Down big. Huge comeback. Homers like crazy. Sweating our asses off for over 3 hours. The humidity was about 400%.

SEC went all in on college baseball.
You'll often see the best players on West Coast teams enter transfer portal and join SEC teams.

Back in the day, there wasn’t much difference between playing at Fullerton or Long Beach vs. let’s say, Ole Miss or Clemson. Moderate crowds, not on TV, moderate facilities. A California kid would just stay home.
Now, every SEC game is on TV with elite facilities. Same with a lot of the ACC and Big 12. There real incentive to go across the country. Most of those west coast programs have garbage facilities and even worse fan support.
For Fullerton in particular, they’ve been down hill since they let Tennessee hire away Dave Serrano

if you grew up playing baseball in the 90's/00's it was hard not to like them. Our travel team was named after them and had similar colors.
their jerseys and logo were iconic and they were always competing for Omaha. make fullerton great again!

They are my favorite college baseball team from the state of California, so, I'm a bit sad about this.

It’s been said that Cal State Fullerton (and some other west coast schools, like ASU) have fallen behind in the player dev department as well.
They’ve been left behind in the college baseball arms race.
