Saints Varsity Baseball is a highly competitive program offering three levels of participation (Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman).  The varsity teams  have won 21 League Titles, 11 Lion’s Tournament Championships, 10 Bill Whittaker Classic Tournament Championships, 3 City Conference Tournament Championships, and have been to the C.I.F. Championship game 5 times.  The tradition is rich in Saints Baseball and the program will continue to produce fundamentally sound baseball players who continue their playing careers at the next level.

Head coach Craig da Luz has been at the helm of the program for the past 15 years.  da Luz was appointed the head coach in 2009.  Coach da Luz’s teams have averaged 20 wins a season

Mr. Craig da Luz, Head Baseball Coach

(2009-present: 281-170-4) and captured league titles in 2021, 2013, 2012, and 2011 and 2nd place finishes in 2018, 2015, 2014, 2010 and 2009. In 2014 Coach da Luz was selected as the Diamond Sports American Baseball Coaches Association Regional Coach of the Year and a finalist for the National Coach of the Year.  In 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 the Saints Varsity team was awarded an ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award.  The 2023 season saw a mix of a young and experienced players continue the building process.   The Saints were one of eight teams that earned the coveted slot in the CIF Open Division Baseball Playoffs.  Our journey fell short of our goal of a CIF championship but that experience should help pave the way for continued program success. 

Mike Stephenson Diamond at Bill Whittaker Field is not only the home for Saints Baseball but also the recipient of the 2023 National High School Baseball Coaches Association (NHSBCA)/TURFACE Region 8 (CA, HI, AK, OR, WA) Field of the Year and a Finalist for National Field of the Year.

The 2024 Schedule is highlighted once again by a difficult Western League schedule, as well as tournament play in the 13th Annual Saints Bill Whittaker Classic, the 74th Annual SD Lions Baseball Tournament, and the Bill Dickens Grossmont-Metro-City Conferences (GMC) Tournament.  As as program we strive for a high rate of achievement in the classroom and on the field as we head into the 2024 baseball season.

Every year the program goals are to play to the best of our ability, with very high expectations of self and team, play with class and dignity, win a league title and the CIF Championship.
