"Yes the guy wins but doesn’t have the players interest at all. Will use you to win at all cost then forgets about you after you graduate. Has called players abortions or “retarded” on many occasions. I’m not sure why he still has a job. He’s a bad human being and does not have the players best interest. Heard him tell a coach that he should kill himself if he lost a recruit to another school. This man is heartless and will do anything to win. Kids are definitely afraid to speak up because of the repercussions. No one needs this old school bully in baseball anymore."

"Pete, the most exceptional coach I’ve ever had in any sport, at any level, is a no-nonsense individual who deeply understands the purpose of Division III athletics. He cultivates a culture of professionalism in his program, which promotes qualities and skills that are highly transferable to life beyond baseball. His direct approach and unwavering commitment to developing young men are precisely what our next generation of leaders desperately needs. I had the privilege of playing for Pete at Fitchburg State University approximately 20 years ago. He played a pivotal role in my development as a player. However, his impact extended far beyond my athletic achievements. He was a significant influence on my personal growth and character. Pete embodies the essence of a straightforward and honest individual. He doesn’t hesitate to provide the raw and unfiltered feedback that is essential for growth. He consistently believed in me, held me accountable for my actions both on and off the field, and instilled in me a strong work ethic and discipline. These qualities have proven invaluable in my professional life. It’s worth mentioning Pete’s genuine care and concern for his players. He goes above and beyond as a mentor and coach, serving as a reference, writing letters of recommendation, and maintaining touch with players even after two decades of leaving his program. As a testament to his impact, Pete’s team achieved remarkable success, winning the DIII National Championship and earning him the prestigious National Coach of the Year award. Playing for Pete was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I ever made. I am incredibly proud to have had the opportunity to play for him and to witness his remarkable achievements in his career. "

"This coach does seem to truly be a nice person. However, her communication is exceptionally poor compared to other coaches that recruited me and it sends mixed signals. Her team seems very tight-knit, and you can tell they aren’t thrilled with certain aspects about her either. No assistant coach with a small roster was concerning to me as well."

"I played for coach Egbert for 4 years. Playing for Coach Egbert was one of the best decisions i’ve made, he develops you beyond the sport of baseball, he truly wants you to become a better person. If someone says he’s dishonest that’s the farthest from the truth. He is very straight forward through the recruiting process and if you’re willing to fully buy into a team culture you’ll do just fine. By far the best coach and mentor i’ve ever had. "

"really great coach, cares about the team and players individually"
