The Flames Diamond Collective was launched in early 2023 and is focused on supporting the Liberty baseball program. “The mission of the Diamond Flames Collective is to support the spiritual, academic and athletic growth of Liberty Baseball student-athletes by providing meaningful opportunities to engage and serve the local community, as well as connect them with Liberty alumni and fans nationwide,” the collective’s website says. The Diamond Flames Collective consists of former Liberty baseball players and alumni “who have aligned with a vision to combat the challenges facing our program in today’s ever changing NCAA climate… Compared to other sports, educational opportunities in collegiate baseball are limited in relation to necessary roster-size and financial aid limits. With a roster generally consisting of 35 student-athletes it is imperative that we maximize the opportunities available to student-athletes, both financial and educational.”
