ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- The college baseball season is about a week away from starting, and there will be a new man leading the way at UNC Asheville. Scott Friedholm is hoping to be the voice of a new attitude with the Bulldog baseball program. "It's a dream come true to be a coach in the big south at a high academic school like UNC Asheville and a great town like Asheville," Friedholm said. "We want to make this community proud of the team we put out there." Friedholm takes over the program after Tom Smith retired. The coaching style may be different, but the message is very clear to the players. "They know what our expectations and standards are," Friedholm said. "They are starting to hold themselves to the standards, and that's when the program starts to take off." "I want to be part of a senior class who turns things around," infielder Hunter Bryant said. "Part of the guys who change the culture. That's really important for us and we want to finish it." Greenwood Field got brand new lights last season, something that Friedholm says he will take advantage of this season. "Greenwood is coming together," Friedholm said. "We readied our infield, the mound and the infield mix. It's starting to play well and be a home-field advantage." The first game for UNC Asheville will be Friday, Feb. 13 at home against Ohio University. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
