The Death of Baseball... USSSA/Top Gun/Etc. Youth Tournaments already occurring and it’s only February... And Ppl wonder why there is a rise of Youth Arm Injuries... Worthless Trophies/Rings in Feb. that Can’t Be Pawned to Pay the Medical Bill Later Down The Road
#LetKidsBeKids
For all you kids thinking D1 or Bust, talent is at every level… By the way this kid was 82-86 in HS… Seems to have paid off working his ass off in a place that was a good fit for him
If you’re only putting your kid in situations where there is a high percentage of being successful, then your kid will have no metric for what is success as he/she gets older
Shoutout to 13 Yr. Old
@drewfreeman1515
for catching 17 College/Pro Pens today...Yes, 13 Years Old wanting to get better and not scared of handling big arms...Kid is a SAVAGE & Advanced skill set... Catching CCU Ace Zach McCambley

Players: If you don’t have good grades in High School, how can a college coach TRUST you to get your work done ON & OFF the field?
#DontBeLazy
#GetItDone
Watching 2 D1 Arms get their work in for the day in the pouring rain... Not taking the day off bc it’s raining... HS Players: Don’t Give The Excuse That “It Was Raining” to not get your work in for the day

HS Playcalling Wristbands should be outlawed...Design a Catcher Mask like QB Helmet so Coach can relay through Headset...Seen paint dry quicker than the Relay of Pitch Calling...Screws up pitchers who are Quick Tempo & Lights out when they are in a groove

When you throw your FB with Conviction & Intent you can be very successful...

National 2021s struck out 19 in Game 1 Shutout Win 9-0... Fun Fact: Threw All FBs & ZERO, I Repeat ZERO CBs & CHs Needed!
#FakeShake
Throwing an Inning in a game is NOT considered his “Bullpen” for the Pitcher starting a few days later... Bullpen is a controlled environment where he can fine tune & work on things, A Game has too many uncontrollable variables

Youth Baseball Epidemic: Coaches Please stop rolling up to the park, opening the bucket and saying “Go Get Loose”... Teach Kids Stretching & Dynamic Warm-Ups
#HealthMatters
Culture Breeds Success... Guys from NC & SC all committed to their developmental plans... December is a time for Training & Development, Not Playing... Tournament Organizers are have zero interest in the kids if they are hosting Tourneys Now

Just bc you sat behind a Senior last year & thought “I’ll wait my turn” doesn’t mean it’s yours this year. Don’t be upset when an underclassmen takes your job bc his mindset was “I’m Going To Your Job” while You Thought You’d Be GIVEN it

I’ll never forget watching this moment while experiencing every emotion possible. No matter who I’m a fan of, these moments will always leave a lasting impression on me and the game.
Happy 2nd Birthday to the most amazing little one that has impacted my life in a way I couldn’t have imagined… I’m so lucky to be called Uncle Mike… I love you Saylor Grace and Hope you have an amazing day!!!!
Had a blast today... HS Guys that train with us got to face College & Pro Hitters/Pitchers... Want to be the best, need to surround yourself with the best

The Beauty of Baseball... Your Off-Season Work to Prepare will show Starting Day 1 of Season... Baseball Separates Those Accountable/Prepared & Those that spent their Off Season playing Fortnite, Chasing Girls, etc.
#PreparationEqualsSuccess
#NoOneToBlame
FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out... Terminology I hear used for Parents/Kid’s in Baseball... Well you’re actually missing out on the opportunity for family things away from the Baseball Field... Rest, Train, & Enjoy time with Family Please
#StopPlayingYearRound
July 28 & Still have 14/15U Coaches throwing guys 111 pitches... Just bc Player says he feels good doesn’t mean you keep him out there... I guess the All Mighty Win overrides Health Considerations
#HaveSomeFeel
PLAY CATCH.
Playing catch is not something you do to get loose. It’s not something you do to warm up. It is a drill that translates in every game you will ever play. Pitching is catch. Defense is catch.
If you can’t play catch, you can’t play.
#STdrills
Locally, Love hearing Parents & Players say that their HS Coach will hold it against them if they don’t play Junior Legion/Legion Baseball... Using that Tactic means you need to find another job
