Spoke to a hs coach today about 3 of his players. He spent 5 minutes on their talent and tools, and 30 on their MAKEUP and TOUGHNESS! These are the separators! Valuable insight from a guy that spends time with kids in all parts of their lives. Then sent me 15 videos! Wow

Leaders don’t make excuses, or complain. They’re accountable and take ownership. Much respect young man!

Strike 3. Makes zero sense. Kid is protecting his face from getting hit! Somebody has to do something about this rule! The umpires must enforce it, I get it not their fault. But it’s flat out wrong. What was wrong with the old rule? Get hit by a strike its strike. This is a K???
HBP or no? Initially called a HBP but ruled a strike after review. 🤔

Most catchers will tell you they receive much better on one knee. Plus, less fatigue on the legs helps them hit better, run better and recover better. For years coaches considered this “lazy.” It’s simply a smarter way to play the toughest position on the field!

Elite hitters mash balls in the middle of the field. Why? Because they are consistently on time. Move athletically with good rhythm (good timing), let the barrel work south to north (bat path)and hammer the ball thru the top bar of L screen, or off the batters eye (external cue)

What stands out to you the most? I’ll RT the best answers in my opinion.

If this dont fire you up, I dont know what will!
They don’t put championship rings on smooth hands.
You gotta go earn it.
You win championships when the stadium is empty, when the band ain’t playing and the cheerleaders ain’t cheering, when it’s just you and your brothers, right beside you.
That’s when you win championships.

The best defensive drill in baseball for inf and of are live reads off of the bat in batting practice. If you can catch it, you must play it. Batted ball over fungo. You can’t expect of to be sharp in games if they don’t get live reps in practice. Go Tigers!

I think it starts with coaches being accountable for how they treat the person over the player. Do your best to connect with them as people first! Once they know you care about them as people, you can push the player!
I feel bad for college coaches today.
- Coach a kid too hard: TRANSFER.
- Put development over of playing time: TRANSFER.
- Kid has great year: TRANSFER.
How would you handle it

Sure would be great to reward the 2021 and 2022 classes with the ability to visit schools. Coaches would love to see hs and jc kids play! Safety protocols would need to be put in place for scouting and visits, but the kids deserve it!
