Dean Harvey Field
Vanguard University's Baseball team and spectators alike can enjoy the beautiful Southern California weather while watching The Pride. Choose between shady trees and shining sun along the field that measures 315' to right field, 316' down the left field line and 380' in center with a maximum distance of 385' in left center field.
After a $850,000 renovation, the field was named after Dean Harvey, an influential member of the 1985 SCC World Series team who passed away in 2011 after a battle with a rare brain disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob. In a special opening ceremony on November 11th, family and friends gathered including his wife Kathy, son, and daughter. The renovated field features new dugouts, state of the art tension netting system for the backstop, improved spectator experience including branding through the facility, new field surface, pro style grass infield and outfield, as well as a new irrigation system. The project was spearheaded by Jeff Motske, Steve Castle, Mark Deushane, Tim Fortugno, Donovan McReynolds, Ron Nelson, Cindy Overeem, and Mike Peterson.

June 17, 2023: My son has gone to the same baseball camp multiple times each summer for years and he said this was the best camp he has ever been to. He has super emotional about it ending and said he wished it would last all summer.
