Let’s just end this line of thinking…
SEC Baseball is not “like AA”
SEC baseball is the best level of amateur baseball in the world, but it’s nothing like AA minor league baseball.

Scouts aren’t keeping box scores in the stands and rarely know (or care) what the score is. They’re looking for DUDES. They’re looking for skill sets. They’re looking for guys who play every pitch like it’s their last. Stop letting a bad AB or bad inning effect your effort.

JUCO game Friday…
Team 1 starter: LHP 93-96, wipe out slider.
Team 2 starter: JUCO All American. LHP 90-93.
Both threw strikes.
Final score was 10-9.
You aren’t “settling” for JUCO. You’re lucky to be there, and you better be a DUDE if you want to see the field.

From a college recruiter…
“Had a coach tell me he’s got a kid that’s 88-91, so I drove three hours to see him throw in the playoffs. He was 82-86. I’ll never answer that guys calls again.”
Don’t lie about your players!

High school players: Passion is the easiest thing for college scouts to see. You either have it or your don't. College baseball isn't the land of milk and honey. It's a grind. If you don't love the game with every fiber of your being, colleges will doubt that you can make it

High school dudes,
This summer on the circuit recruiters aren’t keeping a box score, nor care what the score of the game is. They’re looking for dudes who can help them win games!
Show them your best, regardless of if you’re 0-4 or 4-4!
Play with energy!

Stuck inside?
Pitchers: get dry reps (throwing without a ball). Towel drills, and visualization drills.
Hitters: get some dry hacks in. Visualization drills, watch video.
All players: planks, core work, stretching, bands (if available), body weight exercises.
Find a way!!!

If you’re striking out & not barreling up 75-85mph fastballs, stop worrying about college baseball and focus on getting better.

Pay attention dudes!
Many of the kids who are a “big deal” today will be out of the sport in a few years, and then there will be kids that few know about right now that will make it further in baseball than any one you know. Rankings earn you nothing. Remember that!

Always find it weird when college recruiters “only issue” with a kid is his velo being a few mph away…if a kid is an outstanding pitcher, can you not add those 2-4mph through your S&C development program? 16-17 year olds are rarely at the velo they’ll be at 20-21 years old

Interesting. 93-95. This dude was 85-88 in high school, but easily one of the best PITCHERS in the state of Texas...so you're telling me you can develop velocity? Weird. Maybe more schools should recruit kids who can PITCH, and develop the velo on campus?
Shane Sdao threw really well for

last weekend in Oxford. He was sharp in the first against Arkansas, recording a strikeout on a 93 mph heater. Sdao was 93-95 mph with FB (SR up to 2400) along w/ CH at 84 and a SL at 81-82 mph (2650 SR).

Pitchers,
High level hitters aren't fazed by 90mph fastballs. They are fazed by effective velocity execution (changing speeds), plus secondaries, being pitched backwards, and deception.
Velo IS important, but being able to pitch is more important in the long run!

Metrics only matter when you use them correctly! Velo means nothing if you don’t throw strikes! Exit velo doesn’t matter if you swing and miss all the time! 60 times don’t matter if you take bad reads and don’t know how to run the bases! Baseball IQ is greater than any metric!

Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter to ever live, and its almost impossible to debate that. If he is not elected to the HOF, that will mean that every hitter in the HOF was worse than a dude who is not in it. That would diminish the HOF's value to the sport of baseball.

I wish players would stop worrying so much about “the next level” & focus on the present. The present is where you get better, but more importantly the present is where you get to have fun playing this beautiful game! The lifespan of a ballplayer is short, live in the moment!

Every RHP should have this in their repertoire!
RHP picks to 1st base (balk move):
• Lift left heel before spinning to pick
• It’s about quickness, not velo
• Aim for .9 second pick time

I get that college athletics is a business…however, if you’re going to pull a kids offer, don’t ghost them. Pick up the phone and call them. They’ve invested their future in your verbal offer, the least you can do is call them and explain why that offer is no longer available.

If there's one thing opening weekend of the JUCO season has shown, it's that Region XIV & Region V are going to be dogfights this season. Very few weak teams & most teams are rolling out D1 arms in their wkend rotations. Texas JUCOs have never been deeper than they are right now!

I miss the butterflies. The bus rides. The crappy hotels. The battles within the battles. The wins, the losses.

"Im going to take the fall off to lift & work out"
Guys, if you can't play in the fall because you need to lift - that's part of the problem. You should be lifting and working out year round. The weight room should be apart of your everyday life, not just an off-season thing.
