The quality of coaches I had with me, after a six or seven week search, shared my vision for a summer season, the message that we gave to the players stayed consistent throughout the summer – come to the ballpark with energy every day and be coachable, was the key to winning that championship,” Stenberg said in a phone interview.

Three of those players were on 2019 Major League rosters: right-hand pitchers Art Warren with the Cincinnati Reds and Trevor Richards with the Tampa Bay Rays, and left-hand pitcher Travis Bergen, who is back with the Toronto Blue Jays.
During the summer of 2020, Stenberg obtained the Florida Baseball Ranch SAVAGE pitching certification, Driveline Foundations of Pitching and Basics of Pitch Design certifications, as well as Rapsodo Pitching Certification.
