California Post Graduate Baseball Rebrands as California Grizzlies

California Post Graduate Baseball Rebrands as California Grizzlies: A New Era in Player Development and Collegiate Exposure

Palm Springs, CA – After two years of remarkable success and growth, California Post Graduate Baseball is proud to announce its rebranding to California Grizzlies Collegiate Baseball. The program has quickly become one of the nation’s premier one-year post-graduate baseball programs, successfully competing against top collegiate teams across Division III, NAIA, and Junior College levels, as well as professional teams in the Professional Winter League, including national programs like MLB China.

In just two years, CPG has helped over 60 athletes commit to collegiate programs and added nearly 70-75 games to its seasonal schedule, providing unparalleled competition and exposure for its players.

“We’re excited to take this next step in our journey,” said Casey Dill, Director of Baseball Operations. “Our athletes’ success both on and off the field has proven that we are not just a program – we are a legitimate pathway for players to continue their development, gain exposure, and reach the next level. This rebrand as the California Grizzlies is a natural progression to further professionalize our image and enhance our reputation in collegiate and professional baseball circles.”

Head Coach Zack Novis shared, “This program has grown significantly in a very short time. Our commitment to player development, exposure, and competition is second to none. The addition of the Grizzlies name aligns perfectly with the level of dedication we’ve shown to our athletes and the high standard we hold ourselves to.”

Dwayne Green, Strength and Conditioning Coach for California Grizzlies, added, “The success we’ve seen, especially with our athletes moving on to the next level, speaks volumes about the work we do here. From strength training to injury prevention, we have created an environment that enables athletes to maximize their potential. I’m thrilled to continue helping our players develop both physically and mentally as they prepare for collegiate baseball.”

With the increasing prominence of post-graduate programs due to factors like COVID-19 eligibility, the transfer portal, and D1 roster cuts, California Grizzlies is positioning itself as a key player in the development of future collegiate and professional athletes. The one-year route offers high school graduates an invaluable opportunity to grow, improve, and remain eligible for their full college experience.

“We’re proud of the foundation we’ve built, but we’re just getting started,” said Dill. “We believe this next chapter as the California Grizzlies will allow us to continue expanding our reach, elevate the competition we face, and provide the best possible resources for our players to succeed in their baseball careers.”

As the California Grizzlies embark on this new journey, the program looks forward to continued growth and success in providing athletes with world-class development, exposure, and competitive opportunities.
