Cochise College competes in the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (ACCAC), perhaps America’s finest junior college baseball conference. Members include Arizona Western, Central Arizona, Chandler-Gilbert, Eastern Arizona, Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Gateway, Scottsdale, South Mountain, and Yavapai colleges, as well as Cochise College. The conference and regional champion is regularly a top contender for the JUCO national championship. In addition, the ACCAC is one of the conferences most heavily recruited by professional baseball scouts and university coaches. The ACCAC has won 12 National Junior College championships and is one of the most heavily recruited regions in college baseball by professional baseball and Division I schools. Cochise has proved to be a stepping stone to the professional ranks and Division I college baseball. Our program has sent more than 40 players to the professional ranks with nearly 100 percent placement to the four-year level. During Coach Todd Inglehart’s seven-year tenure at Cochise College, he has had many players move on to the Division I level. Due to the Apaches’ work ethic and hard-nose style of play, many Division I schools are very interested in getting players from our program. Over the past years, schools in the Pac-10, Big-10, SEC, A-10, Conference USA, Mountain West, and West Coast Conference have given scholarships to players from Cochise. Academics Academics are a high priority in our program. The Apache baseball program has achieved a GPA above 3.0 for 15 out of the last 16 semesters. The 2008 Apaches maintained a 3.32 team GPA, which was sixth in the nation. Grade checks are issued every other week to all of the student-athlete’s instructors so that the coaches can maintain constant monitoring of all classes. Facilities, Practice and Games The Apache fall program begins in late August and runs until the week before finals in December. The fall schedule includes tryouts, practice, intrasquads, and up to a 20-game fall schedule. A Red vs. White World Series concludes the official fall season in December. The spring schedule consists of 56 games, 38 of which are ACCAC conference games. Non-conference games are played against out-of-state teams from California, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Nevada, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Washington. Cochise College offers a high-quality academic experience and an excellent baseball program that is committed to the development of the individual athlete, as well as producing championship teams. Cochise is the place where student athletes can successfully pursue their academic and baseball goals. |
