Remember when “travel” ball used to be the best of the best? And remember when it was not pay to play you paid to get good instruction and insight. Now it’s “pay X amount and coach has to play everyone even if they don’t work hard cause mom and dad want Johnny in the game.”

If you want to play at the next level be the best at playing catch. Big leaguers never ever overthrow their catch partner. Watch how they go about pre game catch, they don’t miss. It’s not hard it just take focus and taking pride in doing it. Can’t play catch can’t play ball.

Pro tip. Base runners at the HS and college level when you get to 1B you don’t toss your gear at the 1B coach. You take your gear off and you hand it to him, say thank you, get your sign get your lead. If your 1B coach has to pick up your stuff off the ground just retire.

My coach in college taught us that “chirping is eyewash” and if you want to be a pro you need to act like one. This was at D3. Our bench didn’t talk but we cleaned our shoes big leagued it and when they chirped we just kept scoring. 🤷🏾♂️ rather do that than talk crap it’s more fun

HS players here a list of questions you should ask a college coach on a visit or in a recruiting conversation. The good coaches will welcome these questions because they’ll tell you more about the program. Never be afraid to ask! It’s your career/development on the line.

Players when you off to college summer ball here’s some tips: a 🧵 on deck…1. Enjoy it. Summer ball is fun and meant to be. The weather is good and all you need to do is lift maybe take a summer class maybe work and play baseball.

HS and college guys should take notes on this. You play catch to get better not to warm up. Especially at the HS levels too many players just throw and don't take this into account.
PITCHERS: every single time you throw the ball, you are working on your pitching. Using your delivery while playing catch (called a flat- ground) helps you get a feel for what your body is doing, and how your arm works with it along the way.

I was a D3 college arm. It blows my mind how people disrespect D3 collegiate athletics. That whole D1 or bust mentality is not it and will run you out of a lot of opportunities.
Please stop disrespecting NCAA Division III athletics. If a kid wants to announce their decision on social media or even a offer...they should do so. They've earned it. Just like D1 and D2 athletes. Want to know why there are SA's that will not return phone calls & texts from D3

Players getting that bread so be it but the assistants are still only able to maybe afford a 1/4 tank of gas and can’t eat and can barely keep the phone on (if you have your bills in your name.) College baseball needs to get right for real. Truth is coming out.
Here’s how the college baseball landscape will continue to look like 10-12 teams will out spend everyone and win the title each year.
Unless your school is willing to put up 4-5 million you have zero shot

It’s becoming easier and easier to tell the legit travel programs from the bad ones now. You still have your snake oil salesman who hide it. You want to figure out who’s legit? Watch the coaches hit fungos and throw bp and it’ll tell you everything you need to know.

Hitters. Respect you bp arm. If you don’t say thank you verbally to your bp thrower thats JV. My college coaches when I worked on staff after playing would call you out in front of everyone if you didn’t say thank you to the guy throwing bp. Watch pro ball bp and you’ll get it.

In summer ball there's a mindset that you're entitled to at bats and innings... Players what are you doing to earn time? Remember summer coaches are trying to prove they can win also. Too much of the "I need playing time" and not enough of the I need to earn and get better.

Your first winter break freshman year of college is where you really decide if you want to play.
Freshman year before we left for winter break, I asked a junior teammate what he’d be doing for the holidays?
“Two-a-days til I get back. Starters do two-a-days.”
So two-a-days was what I did too. Best advice I could’ve gotten as a freshman.

A ton of people say “just because you played pro ball doesn’t mean you know the game or you can coach.” There’s truth to that… but there’s also a lot of people saying that stuff but can’t hit a fungo or can’t throw bp pitches in the same spot. Lets practice what we preach first.

Facts. The coaches who love talking about how much they’re in the office is so eyewash lol. Nobody cares just do your work and go home.
"When I hear about guys sleeping in their office I wonder what they hell they're doing there. Cause the game ain't that hard.
The work will always be there, your kids won't.
I tell my coaches, if you miss a recital or little league game... I'll fire you."

This isn’t going to fix the issue of pitchers in high school getting hurt. The real issue is nobody trains properly in the off season to prepare the arm throw because they start practice 3 weeks before game one... that’s the problem.
The MIAA is requiring coaches to use this pitch count tracking sheet for this spring. Any online platforms are optional.
It is available on the baseball page of the Miaa website and we will have hard copies available this weekend ⚾️

We had 3 of our Beacons play in the Cape Cod Baseball League.
Before signing as a NDFA with the Blue Jays, Amalfi (Firebirds) pitched 17 Innings with 19 K’s.
Metzdorf (Firebirds) batted .419 in 8 games, with 13 hits & 7 RBIs.

Coaches. Normalize having the hitters say thank you to the guy throwing bp. It’s a rare tool that few have. When your guys go pro and they don’t say that someone will jump down their necks for it. Especially when you’re expecting the same guy to do it daily. 💯🤙🏾
