“There’s more to a developing a baseball team than what happens on the field,” said Joe Urso ’92, UT’s head baseball coach, while heading north on Interstate 75 on a player recruiting trip. “It also takes a team of people off field dedicated to excellence.”
While Urso can tout achievements like multiple Sunshine State Conference titles, NCAA South Regional championships and national championships, he can also boast that the recent collective team GPA has been the highest of his tenure. Players also support their community, such as helping a Tampa nonprofit build baby cribs and provide furniture to military veterans.

“It seems like there’s a gap for micro, measured, angel investing. A common problem I see from other entrepreneurs is that there is a perception they’re unable to accomplish what they want to do because of a barrier to access to capital early on in their idea phase,” Powell said Wednesday evening during the State of the Tampa Bay Ecosystem update in the Lowth Entrepreneurship Center. “But that doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities for very strategic, targeted ways to help entrepreneurs in a much more measured sense,” with smaller injections of capital early on.
