"Was knowledgeable and had some good ideas but that's it. He gossiped about his players to other players. He invited some of his players to watch games at his house but not others. Playing time was given to players that would sit and talk with him in his office and not always to players who performed well on the pitch. The team did not get along because team bonding was non existent and that is a huge reason why we couldn't win. Poor coaching decisions. He was verbally abusive to some players and had weird personal relationships with others. Team culture was terrible and full of drama. He would not treat players equally and punished them differently according to who they were. We were not allowed to call him "coach" or "sir" which erases the fine line between a superior and a buddy. He was extremely fake. It felt like he was a high school girl instead of a coach. He ruined my college experience, along with many others. A coach should be encouraging, honest, treat everyone equal, and base playing time off of performance. A coach should NEVER invite student-athletes alone to his house or gossip about them."

"rude to players he does not like, has favorite pets, rude to females, pedo vibes, talks about sexual things, bully the mental ill, doesn't know how to coach so watches youtube instead, not reasonable, difficult to talk with, socially awkward "

"Coach Batts is the heir to the program Coach Kinnison, Coach Marchant, and Coach Ferris built. Following 3 legends is hard and he takes that pressure in stride. Most loyal coach I’ve ever played for and expects your best every single day. Will never quit on the players. Will challenge you every day, and dog cuss you when needed and be your friend when needed. Top 3 coaches I’ve ever had in 20 years of playing ball "

"KRod is the best in the business, ride or die for the boys (or ladies) and has your best interests in mind. Would run through a wall if told to for KROD "

"Gives 100% at all times, sometimes misplaced effort but always gives all he has. Getting better at understanding each pitcher is different. Tries to be hard, doesn’t really work. Great man and above average coach. "
