2020 was last event. Coach in trouble because it was brought to him by a non-baseball athlete as a problem in 2018 and did nothing. Not to be too much of a "snowflake", I think some hazing in good fun can/should be part of freshman year, binge drinking, especially involving hard alcohol, is really dangerous.
"Critically, drinking also was a recurring theme during the initiation, with multiple initiation events involving the consumption of excessive alcohol. The first initiation event (“Beer Boxing”) was structured so that half of the rookies would drink enough to vomit by their first baseball house1 stop on Saturday morning, near the start of a day of physical exertion and drinking. One of the participants in the 2020 initiation described blacking out by the second stop, after being “the brother who got fucked” in the anchor position of “Don’t Fuck Your Brother.” Another witness described seeing photos of himself lying in his vomit. Yet another said that he vomited during most events, and that everyone vomited at some point during the day. During the last road trip of the season in 2021, two players drank in a restaurant and a number of players drank in the back of the bus on the ride home, despite knowing it was not allowed."
UC Davis was bottom of the league before. A bunch of players transferred. They're probably lucky to not play as many games.
