2023 AABCA ALL-STAR BASEBALL GAME PROGRAM BOOK

June 11, 2023

Dear Austin Area Baseball Fans,

Welcome to the 23rd annual Austin Area All Star Game. The Austin Area Baseball Coaches Association (AABCA) is grateful to the Round Rock Express and everyone at Dell Diamond for allowing us the use of such a great facility to show- case high school baseball. On behalf of the AABCA, I extend our gratitude for the support of our advertisers and sponsors. Your attendance today assists our association in recognizing these talented players and congratulating them on a great season as they finish their high school career. You can expect this year’s participants, just as in years past, to achieve higher levels of competition, possibly even right here at Dell Diamond. Good luck to all Austin Area seniors as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.

Please make note of our sponsors as they join us in saluting our players and the great game of high school baseball.

Sincerely,

Daryl Reeves • President

DELL DIAMOND Home of the Round Rock Express

A state-of-the-art facility, Dell Diamond has been the home of the Round Rock Express since its inception in 2000. The stadium serves as a premier Central Texas destination and is constantly ranked among the top in Minor League Baseball. In 2006 and 2007 it was named the Top Minor League Park by Minor League News and came in second place in voting in 2008, behind Ryan Sanders Baseball’s own Whataburger Field, home of the Corpus Christi Hooks (AA-affiliate, Houston Astros).

Dell Diamond is a true multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex, hosting Express games, concerts, expos and festivals, among other events. In 2012, Dell Diamond was home to over 175 unique events, including the fourth annual Reckless Kelly Celebrity Softball Jam and the second annual Spirit Fest. The United Heritage Center, located down the first base line, offers 10,000 square feet of event space, including 5,400 square feet of meeting room space.

Beyond the right field wall lies the pool and spa party area with a 20’ x 50’ pool and a 10’ x 10’ hot tub. Next to the pool and spa party area is a covered picnic area with a playscape, and both areas are available for rental by groups. The fun zone has a handful of activities to keep kids entertained for hours, including a “Sport Court” basketball court, a 26-foot high simulated rock wall, a simulated pitching area and a bungee trampoline.

Before the 2013 season, Daktronics designed, manufactured and installed a brand new, HD LED video board in left-center field that measures 36’ x 55’ along with two 6’ x 99’ ribbon boards along the outfield fence.

Dell Diamond was built with the desire to create a fan-friendly environment and the fans have responded. Boasting 8,631 permanent seats, including 75 reserved handicapped seats, the outfield berm allows for another 3,000 fans to enjoy Dell Diamond.

The Express have welcomed crowds of over 12,000 fans on 23 occasions, most recently on July 3, 2012 (12,138). The facility attendance record of 13,475 was set on June 16, 2006 when Roger Clemens took the mound for the Express against the New Orleans Zephyrs.

When the stadium opened, the Express set a Texas League (AA) attendance record and continued to break that record each of their next four seasons in the league. When they made the move to Triple-A, the fans followed. The first year in the Pacific Coast League (2005), Round Rock saw a franchise home-record of 700,277 fans enter through the Dell Diamond gates. In 2012, the Express welcomed their 8 millionth fan to the stadium while leading the Pacific

Coast League in attendance for the second year in a row. Over the past 13 years, the Express have ranked in the top five in attendance of all 160 minor league teams.

The stadium was designed to allow fans a close view of the action on the field. Fans seated on the first row behind home plate actually are closer to home plate than the pitcher’s mound. Some fans seated down either the first or third base line are less than 50 feet from the first and third base lines.

In 2012, the Express partnered with Texas Disposals Systems to make Dell Diamond a minimal-waste facility. The stadium is outfitted with identifiable receptacles labeled for compost, single-stream recyclable items and waste items that can’t be repurposed. Recyclable materials are processed at the TDS Materials Recovery Facility South of Austin. All food waste is repurposed and made into new compost products and sold at Garden-ville stores in local areas. In another “green initiative,” the Express instilled a water reuse system at Dell Diamond this past offseason, becoming the first private customer of the City of Round Rock’s program. Water used on the playing surface and surrounding landscapes has been treated at Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and saves overall drinking water supply for the Round Rock area. Both of these programs bring Dell Diamond and the Express that much closer to their goal of being a zero-waste facility.

The playing field dimensions are 330 feet down the left field line, 325 feet down the right field line, 375 feet to both power alleys, and 407 feet to the deepest point in center field. The wall surrounding the outfield is eight feet high.

Dell Diamond truly is a “home-grown” project, with 80 percent of the materials used for the construction purchased from suppliers within the state of Texas and up to 70 percent of the materials used for the 2009 stadium upgrades being recycled. The limestone exterior and slabs were manufactured in Jarrell and Cedar Park. The Bermuda Tifway 419 grass surface and was grown in Poteet. The infield clay dirt is an Austin product, with other base material coming from Georgetown. The warning track material was shipped in from Strawn.

The playing surface at Dell Diamond is constantly hailed as one of the best in all of professional baseball. Head groundskeeper Garrett Reddehase was named the 2012 Pacific Coast League Turf Manager of the Year and received the league’s Presidential Commendation for groundskeeping in 2011.

THE LIBERTY HILL BASEBALL BOOSTER CLUB ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE BASEBALL PROGRAM WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE CARSON RILEY, KADE NEUENSCHWANDER, AND LOGAN DYER FOR BEING SELECTED TO PLAY IN THE 2023 AABCA ALL STAR GAME. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU GUYS AND CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR REPRESENTING OUR PROGRAM, SCHOOL, AND COMMUNITY IN SUCH A WAY.

GREAT JOB YOUNG MEN, THIS IS A WELL DESERVED HONOR.

- WIN THE DAY -
