Another school year in the books.

9/3/21 : Jordan Viars just hit one of the longer home runs I’ve seen at the stadium to right field … absolute bomb that cleared the back fence beyond the berm !
Been a minute since I made this trip with
@JViars_33
and
@rlbonesio
Can’t think of a better combo to run it back with than Coach Bo and Coach Zack!
@JoshuaViars
and I are on our way to compete! Safe travels, all, and go get it, men!!
This one’s worth posting. Everyone in the stadium saw it fair. Ball was out so fast and so much higher than the foul pole. Sound on! Apologies to whomever’s car
@JoshuaViars
hit with this blast at
@Baseball_WGHS
Pitcher sat 88-90. Plenty more yet to come!!
Jordan Viars hooks a ball into the right-field corner for a tie-breaking 2-run triple to give Clearwater a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning of Game 2 of the Florida State League championship series

Hard to believe 14 years today! So proud of all that you do and who you have become
@JoshuaViars
Keep bringing energy to everything and everyone! You are a blessing to us all! Happy Birthday, Red! We'll celebrate tonight with a few cage nukes!
Merry Christmas to all of my baseball family past, present, and future. Love this time of year when The Peanuts remind us what Christmas is really about! “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” Blessings to you all!
@CoachJeffLeach
My arm hurts some nights so badly that it's hard to sleep. It's the best pain I've ever felt. I'd give anything to be on the field just one more time with my dad, and I cherish every time I'm there with my boys. My favorite words from them, "One more."
Pre-game in and out from '26 Joshua Viars (

✅ Head still & eyes focused!
5 games in 3 days...still working out and putting in extra time...takes the time for a photo op with a young fan and to hear about his first game of the season. This is why I am proud to call

Sometimes we all need a little help. I can’t say thank you enough to my brother
@dcarmichael_11
for help with practices while I am out of town. This is a message I just received from a parent at practice. This guy is as good as it gets with baseball, kids, and helping them grow!
If you don’t get excited for all these young athletes on
#signingday2020
especially this year, then we can’t be friends! Congrats to all these young scholars and athletes who have worked to make dreams come true. Good luck and God bless you and keep you through your journey!

Threw the last 4 innings and bumped 89 to the last batter of the game! 90 coming soon, Red!! 🔥🔥 This team is special. The defensive plays they made to help both pitchers today were outstanding web gems!! Summer is going to be fun!!!

@JLV_Slugger_3
You have blessed us for 16 years with a wonderful son. Keep crushing everything in your way and helping others whenever you can. Life has more great things ahead. Love you and proud of you, Son!
Good way to end the night for Josh Viars. The RHP kept hitters at bay the whole game picking up 10 K through 5 innings for
@DTigerBaseball
Reynolds.
#Texas20
Joshua Viars (‘26 TX) sits on the backside and stays direct here. Lifts the leg and absolutely crushes this one. Sends it deep to LF, banging it off the wall. Hustles out a double. 96 mph off the bat.

If you are 14u and still swinging drop 5 this late in the spring, you should rethink your approach. Good luck with BBCOR in the coming weeks that high school ball will start. You are hurting yourself to attempt to win a plastic ring!
Hitting is hard. 3/10 gets you to the HOF. Hitters, what’s your mentality when you step in the box? How is your confidence? You have to believe that your best swing is better than his best pitch! Take your best swing every time! You won’t miss 3 times every AB! Be aggressive!!

I am going to just drop this here in case anyone missed it. This is why you play every pitch no matter the opponent. This is why anyone can win on any given day. This is baseball at its best!!
I have been blessed the last 6 months to work with
@dcarmichael_11
at practices for these young men. They have put in the work. Their level of play continues to climb. Congrats
@TACA_Baseball
on this “leave no doubt” win! Still a lot of work to do, so let’s get to it!!
To the 2026s about to lace them up for varsity game one - stand tall; chin up; chest out! Coach believes in you or you wouldn’t be in the lineup! Give ‘em hell! Kick the door open and make sure the world knows you mean business! Ability plays but confidence wins! Go get it!

‘26 SS/RHP Joshua Viars (TX) showed well in his inning of relief. Up to 89 & powers it DH a bit, good vertical CB with shape/depth (clip); has 2-way upside & good bit more in the tank too.

Don't let it be a secret that the hidden MVP this week has been Red
@JoshuaViars
He has hung around all of these big time players, caught in, shagged balls, kept pitch counts, hauled coolers and BP balls...you name it. Playing catch with 95mph arms and not flinching is
