"He is a nice guy and easy enough to talk to, but his baseball IQ is horrendous and simply does not know how to motivate a team to their potential "

"The issue with Coach Plourde is that he does not have a great understanding of the game and can't relate to players. He has never played the game at a high enough level. He doesn't make personal relationships or motivate his players. Players leave Skidmore as either a better ball player from there own hard work or just losing love for the game. "

"Hard to want to play for -- shows very little emotion during/before games. The willingness to play for a coach among players is a huge asset to winning ballgames and Coach Plourde just doesn't have that fire."

"I loved playing at Skimdore and under Coach Plourde. I'm not sure that I got better in those four years, but I had a blast and that's why I wanted to play college baseball."

"Ron is a great guy and is very supportive of his players. He was honest with his recruiting and gives all of his players a fair chance. He is somewhat hard to relate to (which I think is ok for a coach). My biggest complaint was that I don't feel many players get better throughout their time at Skidmore, and if they do it is on their own time and not with the coaching staff. Also, in-game management can be occasionally frustrating."

"Coach Plourde has an unmatched love for the game of baseball. His attention to detail and investment in each player is unlike any coach I have played for. Coach Plourde truly cares about each player on the team, and wants each player to improve as an individual both on and off the field. If you trust the system, you'll have an amazing four years at Skidmore."
