Welcome to the 2025 Baseball Season!
Founded 1950, Mater Dei High School’s first priority was to place a statue of the Blessed Mother in the Grotto. Seven decades later, this statue is our daily reminder that Mary, Mater Dei (Mother of God) is the first disciple and perfect example of Honor, Glory, and Love. Inspired by our devotion to Mary, our mission will always be to form faithful and compassionate servant leaders through the development of each student’s heart, soul, and mind.
The why behind our mission is simple. Our young Monarchs must develop the necessary values, skills, and habit patterns to ethically navigate this beautiful but complicated world. While most secondary schools focus solely on academic knowledge, Mater Dei High School will continue to intentionally embed Catholic beliefs and the tradition of Honor, Glory, and Love into every aspect of the student experience. Our pursuit to help students move beyond academic knowledge and, with intention, holistically develop their will to choose goodness will never cease
While pursuing excellence within the baseball program is our objective, let us never forget that achieving our mission is the primary goal. Each Monarch baseball player must actively utilize life lessons (Honor, Glory and Love) learned during weightlifting, practice, games and after games. These baseball life lessons support each Monarch’s journey towards achieving goodness. Mater Dei High School dedicates itself to the philosophy that baseball is another element designed to perfect the person (become a Monarch) and their relationship with Christ.
On behalf of the Mater Dei Faculty and Staff, thank you to our Head Baseball Coach, Mr. Richard Mercado, his coaching staff, and all members of the baseball family. Your commitment and loyalty towards each Monarch and Mater Dei High School is deeply appreciated. We are also grateful that you chose to attend the game and pray that our young men and the teams we compete against will remain safe. Our only request to those in attendance is to please emulate Mary Mater Dei’s qualities of humility, empathy, and service to others.
With Honor, Glory, and Love,
Michael P. Brennan President
Dear MD Baseball Teams,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 baseball season. As the season begins, I wish the Monarch baseball team every success on the playing field, in the classroom and throughout the school. As you enter this new season, run the bases and score home runs, may you enjoy a fun-filled and successful season.
Throughout the school and in all areas of your communities, I encourage and challenge you to continue the great traditions of MD student-athletes who exhibit positive leadership and exemplary Monarch character. This year that Monarch Character is reflected in the culture of your team and in the daily living out of Mater Dei’s motto of Honor, Glory, Love.
Thank you and best wishes to Coach Richard Mercado and the assistant coaches for your dedication and commitment to all that is excellent and outstanding in the MDHS baseball program. It is your hard work with such talented players, that develops a great baseball team.
Finally, to parents, alumni and friends of MD baseball, thank you for all that you do to cheer on and support such an outstanding team.
Student-athletes, play your hardest and show your Monarch Character together as the great MD baseball team. Go Monarchs and may Our Lady Queen of Victory keep you healthy and safe at all times.
Sincerely,
Frances Clare Principal
On behalf of Mater Dei High School and the Athletic Department, welcome to the 2025 Mater Dei baseball season. We are very excited for the upcoming year and look forward to watching our 2025 squad! Best of luck this season to head coach, Richard Mercado ’01 as he leads these young men in their pursuit of a Trinity League Championship.
Coach Mercado continues to foster an environment where character is at the forefront, inspiring these young men to build a strong foundation. The Monarchs have been focused on developing a strong culture that not only impacts each other but those around them, both on and off the field.
The boys have been preparing all year with early morning workouts, strength and conditioning sessions, and countless hours of practice. They are prepared for any challenge they may face this season.
I want to commend Coach Mercado and his entire staff for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to our student athletes. I also want to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to our parents, alumni, donors, fans, and everyone at Mater Dei for their continued support.
Finally, I hope and pray for a safe and successful season for our team as they pursue excellence in Honor, Glory and Love.
Go Monarchs!!
Kevin Kiernan Director of Athletics
Coach
As we prepare for the 2025 season, we are excited to compete for a Division 1 CIF title and defend our Boras Classic title. Last season, we won the Boras South and State Championships. This year, we face some top competition in the country again.
While we graduated many senior hitters, we have a solid core of returning players and young athletes ready to contribute. Our pitching staff remains a strength and one of the most talented around. We also have an exciting group of freshmen and some JV players on the rise, with a few who could make an impact on varsity this year.
Mater Dei Baseball focuses on developing players both on and off the field. We are building a community based on dedication and hard work. Our program prides itself on having high standards, accountability within our program. Our culture reflects the proud tradition of Mater Dei Baseball. I appreciate the families and players who support our program and help maintain our high standards.
Our JV and freshman teams continue to produce and develop players that will become varsity starters. Some of these young players will have an opportunity to make an impact on varsity this year.
To our alumni and supporters, thank you for your ongoing support.
As we start the 2025 season, I wish our players the best. Let’s take on the challenges and make it a great year.
Here’s to a successful season ahead!
