‘27 OF Mark Neels from Carmel HS (IN)
Really like this skillset here from the #Uncommitted L/R
A ton of natural hand-eye/bat to ball with more juice than the frame might suggest.
PWR/SPD combo 📈

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life
I’m a recovering delusional optimist.
I used to believe every idea I had was going to work. When someone told me otherwise, I assumed they were just being negative.
But being unrealistically positive creates the same disappointment as being unrealistically negative because neither is calibrated to reality.
The goal isn’t to become more positive or more negative.
It’s to continuously calibrate your expectations to reality.

I don’t care about bat flips or home run celebrations.
But whatever this shit is when taking a ball, is lame as hell.
Also, he struck out on the next pitch.

Tough Luck here for ‘27 Gavin Denton (@GavinBSBL19) as he drives this ball to dead CF for a would be XBH that turns into a Sac-Fly after a great play by Twin Lakes CF

Great start to my sophomore season. Recorded my first varsity start in Right Field and my first varsity hit. Still grinding in the cages with @Duncan__Hewitt. Seeing consistent Ev’s in the low to mid 90’s.

My last 4 years coaching not a single I/O in the Spring seasons… 4 conference titles
Couldn’t agree more with this sentiment
You don’t need pregame I/O… ever
Day 4 of 31
In the month of December I am going to drop 31 (1 for each day) personal opinions about the game of baseball.
I/O equals Eye wash.
We have never taken an organized I/O nor do I plan to ever take one
Ground balls and fly balls can be taken during pregame batting practice and if taken seriously these opportunities are the best ways to prepare for a game.
If no BP is allowed and your dead set on taking ground balls. Have someone side toss to a coach so he can hit the most realistic "game like" ground balls
Keep it random so the players have to play it like a real ground ball in the game. This will allow them to see how the ball is reacting to the surface your playing on.
Change my mind!

“Line drives hitters” and “nothing in top of net” are both literally describing ball flights that you want produced
Improving ball flight??? I’ve been in baseball 40+ years and have never heard “train to improve ball flight”? Ridiculous. Your goal when you train is to be consistent. Line drives hitters. Nothing in top of net! There are no cage HRs!!

Anyone else feeling bullish on @monadverse and the @monad ecosystem as a whole? Just bought my 50th monadverse I guess that makes me the largest single wallet holder. Excited for reveal!

PerfectGame is one of the top branding and marketing companies in the world. They’ve successfully convinced an entire generation of baseball players and families that they are in fact a baseball organization
I admire their driving forces business wise, they’re genius
For baseball players though, and this is strictly in terms of a player development perspective, they are the worst thing to ever happen to youth player development
Just keep doing this. Leave all that negativity and argumentative BS at the door. This is actually helpful!
Hitting has changed tremendously in the @MLB
Hitters from the past rolled their Top Hand after contact and today’s players try to avoid doing that.
Today’s hitters struggle on the High Fastball because of this!
Hitter’s of the past were taught to either get on top of it or don’t swing at it.
