I was @ 4 games last week, 3 of them had 1 or more D1 coaches. In each of those three games there were players jogging to first base on balls put in play. To a man these coaches said in one way or another, โI canโt recruit a kid that doesnโt hustle.โ

PSA to players, coaches don't care that you're doing late night cage work or 5AM lifts or whatever you feel inclined to post on social media.
Coaches care if you can play the game and, in most cases, if you're a good human.
Work in silence and show who you are in game.

As a guy who lost his father at 15, this is not only awesome to see, but exactly the type of thing that helped me get through that event. Teammates/friends have a profound effect on your life, both good and bad.
One of the coolest scenes Iโve ever witnessed. Gehrig Conrad lost his father a couple of days ago, tonight in the 3rd round of the state playoffs he absolutely dealt! With two strikes his teammates gave him a hug and then he unleashed a 91 mph fastball.

A nickels worth of free advice for all you youngsters, when asking something of an adult that you've never met or one who is providing a service for you, don't come at them like they're your buddy from school or a teammate. Show some modicum of respect and manners. Ok, I'm done.
