Tim Belcher
"After graduating high school in the spring of 1980, I was looking for an opportunity to continue my education, play college baseball, and realize my aspiration of becoming a major leaguer. Mount Vernon Nazarene College and the baseball program provided me the opportunity to accomplish that and more! - For that, Mount Vernon Nazarene College and those charged with coaching and educating me will forever occupy a special place in my heart."
Brock Barnhouse
"The baseball program at Mount Vernon Nazarene College can be summed up in two words, 'Winning tradition'. This tradition is continuing today with the finest quality of instruction by a staff that knows how to win. Not only is Keith Veale an excellent experienced winning coach, he is also one who cares about his players and will help them develop as individuals."

"I chose to go to Mount Vernon Nazarene College because I knew it was a good school, and I felt I had a good chance of getting drafted from there. Coach Veale helped me mature mentally as a player. I learned how to be mentally tough, especially when you're pitching in one-run ball games. It was a lot of fun playing at Mount Vernon Nazarene College. We were a close-knit team and I was able to make many new friends."
Mike Cheek
"Only God knows the difference those four years have made in my life. The lessons learned on the ball field, the fellowship with the guys, the spiritual challenge and the inspiration from players and coaches, and the memories of events and relationships will be cherished forever. It is true that the scores fade over time. But the relationships established remain. I'm so glad I had the privilege of establishing these friendships in the baseball program at Mount Vernon."
