Delco Baseball Now was created in the Summer of 2022 as a way to promote Delaware County Baseball in the form of podcasts, blog/news articles, graphics, highlight reels, and whatever else the people could want. Our podcast was created to give a platform to the amazing athletes and coaches that we have in this area, and allow them to tell all of their stories.

Brendan Ricciardi was the original founder of the company, as he ultimately created this out of boredom while recovering from an injury. Ricciardi was a First Team All-Central League selection in 2017 with Strath Haven before joining the Club Baseball team at Penn State, where he would win a National Championship in 2023. He now plays for Wayne in the Delco League where he has won three titles.
