Big Red Sports Network
BASEBALL, SPRING 2020
March 18, 2020
The week this magazine was to go to print, Cornell abruptly suspended classes and urged students to return home for the semester. A cascade of unbelievable changes soon followed. All Ivy League athletics were cancelled, post-season tournaments terminated, and practice sessions banned. Of course, these immediate actions were a good-faith and reasonable response to thwart the tenacious trajectory of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Still, the losses to student-athletes during the spring 2020 season are incalculable.
Big Red Sports Network was eager to introduce the Cornell baseball class of 2023. When seemingly our whole worlds were paused or overturned, it was clear this magazine could not be printed according to its original schedule. Besides, there would be no baseball season during which our publication could be enjoyed.
With humble melancholy and pride, we now offer you our work.
Each page following is printed exactly as it would have in early March, 2020.
With appreciation to devoted fans of Cornell baseball,

Managing Editor
The Big Red Sports Network was started to benefit two communities on Cornell’s campus. Our Big Red athletes, the men and women who proudly represent Cornell by traveling from school to school, putting the other seven Ivy League schools in their place, deserve to have their individual stories heard. Stories that go beyond the box score and final score. We want to share the story of the early morning trudge to the Friedman lifting center. The decision between a Cheribundi and a Big Red chocolate milk. We want to help our readers understand the individuals that make up the teams.
The Big Red Sports Network serves another community, too. A community of aspiring journalists, broadcasters, and statisticians that love sports and love Cornell. Together, with the school’s athletes, we get a taste of what it’s like to be Peter King or Mike Lupica. Whether it’s Will Goetz and Chris Wilkins on their weekly radio show talking Big Red sports with fellow athletes or any of our writers trying to capture a new side of a well-known player, the BRSN gives us all a taste of the sports world we strive to be a part of.
One sport has stood by our organization since its inception. Cornell Baseball has been a terrific partner, constantly providing opportunities for us to grow as a club. BRSN has gained legitimacy because of the broadcasting experience Cornell Baseball has given us. For years, our members have jumped at the opportunity to call Big Red baseball, doing their best to grow as broadcasters and to narrate the story that is a nine-inning ballgame. When the Big Red send a towering blast over the centerfield fence, we want to be there to call it. We want to cover it. We are grateful to do so.
Appearing for a second year, the 2020 edition of our magazine will feature all of the newest faces in Cornell Baseball. All freshmen will get their story told in the way they want. Our writers have worked to present this team the way it deserves. None of this is possible without our leader, Louisa Heywood, a tireless worker and someone whose patience knows no bounds. Thank you for all your support. We hope you enjoy.
Best wishes,

Spencer Edwards, a focused and driven addition
JAKOB RICHARDS
Freshman left-hand pitcher Spencer Edwards is really looking forward to his first season here at Cornell. In reflecting on his history with baseball, Spencer expressed how his high school experiences at Rancho Santa Margarita Catholic High School in Orange County, California made him a better and stronger player. For example, Spencer once got on the mound at the state championship game and pitched 6 2/3rds innings with only one earned hit. When asked how he kept his cool in such a tense situation, Spencer credited his team, replying:
“As a team, we were able to keep each other going the entire time, never taking our foot off the gas, and staying positive...but being able to stay calm and perform for the guys around me [is something] I can use while I am at Cornell.”
Along with the composure he showed during that game, Spencer shows awesome signs of being level-headed and motivated. When asked how he reacted to learning he was coming to pitch at Cornell, Spencer’s initial response was relief that the decision had been made. He used that relief to continue to stay motivated and focus on getting better.
Spencer has maintained that same driven attitude at Cornell during the fall season. He discussed with us what he hopes to get out of his time here with Coach Pepicelli at Cornell. As a pitcher, Spencer is really looking forward to working with Coach Pepicelli to take all of his pitches to the next level, but particularly his change- up.
It is clear that Spencer is ready for the start of the season and with pre-season games starting, I wish him and his teammates the best of luck this season.
