Join us at the Akron Baseball Camps in Ohio for our upcoming Prospect Camp at Skeeles Field on August 19. This camp is specifically designed for players graduating between 2024 and 2027 who aspire to continue their baseball careers at the collegiate level. It’s an excellent opportunity to receive top-notch instruction, as well as be evaluated by the entire coaching staff from the University of Akron, along with coaches and recruiters from various Ohio and regional colleges.

Attending this showcase event is crucial for anyone interested in joining the Akron Baseball Program. Our format is carefully crafted to provide coaches with the best chance to assess each player’s abilities and determine where they would fit within our program.

The camp itinerary is action-packed and includes a 60-yard dash, defensive workouts, and live batting practice on the field. Additionally, pitchers will have the opportunity to showcase their skills by throwing live pitches to hitters during a game scenario. This allows us to further evaluate each player’s performance in their respective positions within an actual game setting.

To participate, make sure to register before August 18th. Check-in will begin at 8:30 am on the day of the camp, with the program commencing at 9:00 am. We look forward to welcoming you and witnessing your talent on the field at Akron Baseball Camps.

Bryan Faulds
Head Coach Read more Read less

Faulds comes to Akron with two decades of coaching experience at the collegiate level. He spent the last two seasons as head coach at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, where he led the Hilltoppers to a 72-43 overall record and 34-13 mark in the Lone Star Conference, advancing to the NCAA DII South Central Regional in both campaigns.

In 2023, St. Edward’s completed the season ranked No. 20 in the NCAA Division II National Rankings by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. The Hilltoppers finished third in the region and second in league play on the strength of a 40-17 overall record and 34-13 LSC ledger, while producing an All-American in Luke Short.

In his first season at the helm, Faulds led St. Edward’s to a 32-25 record, including a 27-21 mark in conference play. The Hilltoppers advanced to the LSC semifinals and earned an NCAA South Central Regional bid, falling one game short of the NCAA Super Regionals. The season produced three All-Region players, including South Central Region Pitcher of the Year and All-American Wesley Gafford.

Prior to being named head coach at SEU he served as the Hilltoppers’ pitching coach for four seasons. During his time as pitching coach, St. Edward’s produced two MLB draft picks, two All-America selections, two South Central Region Pitcher of the Year awards, four All-Region selections, seven All-Conference selections, including a conference Pitcher of the Year and Freshman of the Year awards.

Prior to his time at St. Edwards, Faulds spent two seasons in the Mid-American Conference at Ohio University. From 2015-17, he was the pitching coach at Ohio, where the Bobcats’ staff set the single-season school record for strikeouts (483) in 2017. In addition, Ohio won the 2017 MAC Tournament, earning an NCAA Tournament bid behind two all-conference pitchers and three MAC all-tournament pitchers.

A native of San Ramon, Calif., Faulds began his coaching career at the College of San Mateo in California. He started his collegiate playing career there and later coached for six years, working his way up to associate head coach and interim coach in 2013. Faulds helped lead San Mateo to three conference championships, six regional appearances, and four super-regional appearances while developing numerous all-conference pitchers and NCAA Division I transfers.

As a player at San Mateo, Faulds pitched from 2004-2006 before transferring to Western Illinois University. At San Mateo, Faulds helped the program to an overall record of 64-19 in two years as the captain of the pitching staff. Faulds led the team in saves (six) at Western Illinois and had the second-most appearances (17).

Faulds earned his bachelor of arts degree in recreation, park, and tourism administration in 2009 and a master of arts degree in kinesiology from Saint Mary’s College (Calif.) in 2012.
