Can confirm “advanced defender.” @TeaganMclaugh27 makes the difficult look routine. Lot of upside here!
C Teagan McLaughlin (Eureka, 2027) lines a ball the other way for a single. Finished the day 2-for-3 including a bunt single showing off his speed. Advanced defender behind the plate with a strong arm. Lean, athletic 6-foot, 165-pound frame. #PBTILOpen | @PrepBaseballIL

Adults: Within 5-10 years after our kids graduate HS, most will become spouses, homeowners, parents, employees, business owners, etc. Be careful of making the outcome of youth sporting events bigger than it is. It’s part of their growth. It’s part of their experience. It’s

There will be a D3 starting pitcher drafted this year, & there will be a D1 starting pitcher that doesn't.. There will be a D2 middle of the lineup player taken, & a D1 middle of the lineup player passed on.. It doesn't matter where YOU play. It matters how YOU play 💯

Coaching isn’t a hobby. Coaching is a mission. Somewhere in the world, a parent’s praying for someone to show up for their kid. Not just to teach the game, but to lead, to push, to believe in them when it’s hard. Be that coach. The one who shows up, builds up, and never gives up.

Stepping down at PCS was a tough decision to have to make at the time, but the right one. Our conversation about your bench being likely the only one I’d consider coming back to as an assistant turned out to be one l’ll forever be grateful for!
I have been blessed with the greatest coaching staff a person can dream about. But adding this guy over 10 years ago was a fantastic move. 300 Varsity wins in his years at Peoria Christian and Eureka. Congrats Coach Studebaker!

I thought it was a catch @AndrewZ19755936!
Being an official is tough. You make the call. Did Eureka's Andrew Zimmerman make the catch? Pass ruled incomplete.

Today marks the end of the summer season for @TeamOxWood2025, but also closes the book on summer baseball for me. I’ll continue on with @EHSHornetsBB each spring but summers are done. Great group of guys with big things to come. Good luck men!
