Shoutout to the HS baseball guys who shut it down for the next several months to strap on the football gear and get after it. You only get a few years to do it. HS football builds character, grit, resilience, discipline, toughness and team first. Scouts love these guys.

When a pitcher is struggling w/ command, lost confidence, & spiraling down. The best thing you can do for them, is put all the electronics & cameras away in their pens. Let him free his mind, find some clarity, get his “feel” back, instead of chasing shapes/rpms #clearthemind

Here are the 5 staple movements i started with. It’s only a 20-30 minute workout and you are spent! -the swing - the deadlift - the goblet squat - clean and press - snatch

I’ve changed my entire workout after 45 years of lifting weights. It took me a long time to break from the push/pull weight workouts. I got into the kettlebells and my strength, endurance, mobility & conditioning has shot ⬆️. The body was made to move, not just push and pull. 👇

I grew up in rural America...the kind of place where the morning smell of diesel and soil told you exactly what kind of day it was going to be. Half the kids in my class had dirt under their nails before breakfast. Their parents were farmers...the backbone...the tax base, and

If you asked me how many pitches you should have? You get 2 Master 1 - the fastball 1st. When you can command it, you get a 2nd. Master 2, you get a 3rd. Most of you won’t have a 3rd for a long time. It’s Ok. 1-2 with confidence is better than 3 with none #WaxonWaxoff

Hey @grok who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn’t need to be someone I follow. Don’t tag them, just mention their name. I’m guessing Morgan Wallen or Larry Fleet?

Big leaguers come from everywhere. Top of the draft, backend of it, and even free agent signings after the draft. D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO. Getting seen could be luck, could be timing, could be happenstance. I’m looking for guys like Logan everyday. Players are EVERYWHERE.
Grinding through everything. Logan VanWey’s Road to the Stros was not the traditional one. Tune in to episode 2 now: https://t.co/knjU3ubhii

You got to be aggressive in the box. See a lot of guys gettin down 1, even 2 strikes all the time before they start swinging, and then you want to get aggressive? It’s too late, now you’re in battle mode trying to stay alive fouling pitches off in protect mode with your B swing.

Since the season is weeks away from starting, I wanted to offer some insight into what all coaches are looking for🤔. Coach is looking for dudes who have different plans than being a backup. Make coaches make tough decisions, and that guy playing over you feel your presence.

Pitchers buying velocity programs w/ the “no money back promise” to gain 10 mph or even 5 mph on your fastball, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll send you a program for peanuts on what you’re paying, and no contract. 1 promise, you will get better every day. ❤️& Retweet, I’ll DM info

📌 I’ve done the research to find out what “some” of the best workouts are for athletes to maximize strength & explosiveness. Same answer keeps coming up “SPRINTING”20-40-60 yard bursts. Who’s doing it? Not many. Most only sprint at a showcase. No bat, ball, glove or gym required

There’s been a lot of discussion about the increased velocity that young pitchers are throwing at now. Why they are throwing so hard, so young? and is there a lack of concern for injury, or even surgery chasing ticks in velocity? I get it, they say you got to throw hard to get

I just completed player meetings at a prominent power 5 school. I Met with 8 players. 7 of the 8 guys I met with were juco transfers. 🤔 Haven’t seen that in a while. They all looked strong and confident. Gotta love the competition. They come from everywhere.
