Favorites are played, but they are at best a 500 ballclub. Let others play, but the coach cannot recognize fundamentally good players.

Terrible leader. Highlights the team’s GPA and fails to mention who earns the grades. Claims to not know most players by name. Playing time determined by his ego not stats/talent.

Gage should not be coaching nor called a coach. He has his favorites that can do no wrong but they still dislike him. He hides behind his office door, does not speak directly to players but will humiliate them in front of a crowd, and is just a very bad person who cannot look you in the eye when he decides he has time for you. His post-game yelling fits, placing blame on specific players for losing games, and even blaming the lack of enthusiasm from the bench for losses are all examples of his actions, which also include mental abuse, punishing players by making them run until they vomit then claiming it’s building character, and name-calling that I was personally subjected to in one of the reviews above regarding the Florida trip that was a nightmare. This person has no business being a coach of a little league team, never mind a college baseball team. Ask the 11 players who have quit since September 2022. No they were not cut, they quit because of him. He overuses players and stresses routines that have resulted in many serious injuries. Stay far away from this coach.

Trash program. Ran by a coach that has no idea what he is doing. Players, student athletes, stay away. This coach does not tell the truth.

I am not sure what coach the 5 rating worked with, maybe coach gage did the rating himself. This coach is the worst coach I have ever played for in my career. We play competitive baseball in our area. He treats player terrible, unless your his pet player. His practices are unorganized and unplanned. You are there to go to school first, but because he has no plan or schedule you never know from day to day. . Read the other reviews! They are the accurate. You will regret attending this school for baseball.

Coach Gage was extremely beneficial in helping me with my career at Stevenson. He is very career focused and pushed us academically. On the field we worked hard. The coaching staff always spent extra time with our team in the cage or at the field helping us develop. I still talk with Coach Gage every month about things in life.

Coach Gage has violated NCAA rules a number of times. From practicing and playing to many days in a row. To not providing meals of any kind on home or away games. I am done here and would not recommend any one plays for this coach.

I would not recommend anyone attend this school to play baseball. This coach lacks the intelligence to be an effective leader. He is disrespectful to the players and the game. The staff is disorganized with no game plan. The team went on a trip to a tournament in Florida pitchers didn't know when they were pitching or if they were pitching. One of the assistant coaches drove the van in an unsafe manager at high speed and hit a pole after one of the players told him he was going to hit it. The head coach called a player "faggot" because he had an ear ring this was done in front of the entire team and humiliated a kid. This is not a place I would encourage my son to attend.
