A Legacy Etched in Dirt and Grass
For decades, Norwich baseball has been a proving ground for the determined and the disciplined. With numerous postseason appearances, conference success, and athletes enshrined in the Norwich Athletic Hall of Fame, the Cadets have left an indelible mark on New England collegiate baseball. This is not just a program – it is a brotherhood grounded in tradition.
Homegrown Leadership with a Champion’s Mentality
Head Coach Billy Whaley knows what it means to wear the “N.” A 2017 graduate, Whaley is not only one of the greatest pitchers in program history but also a Vermont Principals’ Association Hall of Famer – cementing his place as one of the state's all-time athletic greats. His return to lead the Cadets brings unparalleled energy, vision, and firsthand knowledge of what it takes to succeed in maroon and gold.

Garrity Field: Tradition in Every Inning
Set against the scenic backdrop of Norwich’s athletic complex, Garrity Field is more than a diamond – it is a home. Named in honor of Joseph Garrity ’27, a former head coach and athletic director, this well-maintained venue reflects the pride of its history and the support of a loyal alumni base. With recent enhancements and more to come, it is where big plays and lifelong memories are made.
Teaching the Game – and Life
Cadet baseball players are not just athletes – they are leaders in training. The coaching staff emphasizes fundamentals, mental toughness, and academic accountability. Players are challenged to master their craft while building habits that extend into life after Norwich. Whether in a tight game or the classroom, the Cadets prepare to rise.
Brotherhood in the Trenches
The Norwich baseball experience is rooted in team chemistry and collective drive. Every rep in the cage and every inning on the field is backed by a roster that plays for each other. This is a tight-knit unit defined by shared sacrifice, mutual respect, and a hunger to improve. That sense of brotherhood is the beating heart of Cadet baseball.
Carrying the Torch Forward
The Cadets honor the past with every pitch – but their eyes are firmly set on the future. With strong recruiting, a revitalized culture, and standout leadership, the program is on the rise. Coach Whaley’s vision is clear: compete with intensity, lead with character, and return Norwich baseball to championship form.
