He finished out his amateur career with Cal Poly Pomona where he would again be a two-year starter. When it was all said and done, he was a part of two state tournament teams and one regional tournament squad.
In an effort to stay in the sport he loves, Bryce started coaching a traveling baseball team based out of Anaheim, CA. He parlayed his success there into his current job at his former school.

Be on the lookout for more updates in the future. Don’t forget to stay connected with the Huskies on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well as the official website duluthhuskies.com.
