My biggest takeaway from this? This is after Fordham was eliminated on Saturday, yet there they were, watching a great ballgame and having fun together. Really cool and a sign of great culture and chemistry.

3rd base coach: “Let’s go! Get a good pitch to hit!” 1st base coach: “Let the ball travel!” Dad: “Remember to keep your weight back!” Grandpa: “Get that runner over!” Little bro: “Hit a bomb!” Dugout: “Don’t lunge!” “Stay thru the baseball!” “Stay short to the ball!” “Watch for the 1st pitch curveball!” “Sit fastball!” Hitter thoughts: You gotta block out the noise, have extreme focus, control the pressure and anxiety, have your plan and compete. Just writing this gave me anxiety, imagine what that young ballplayer is going through in the moment the next time you want to start barking out instructions on how to hit! 🤐 #BaseballTruth

If you're proud of a player. Tell him. If you're disappointed in a player. Tell him. If a player is in your doghouse. Tell him. If a player role is changing. Tell him. If a player does something that bothers you. Tell him. Dynamic coaches are dynamic communicators. They treat players how they'd want to be treated as a player.

Every player I ever coached was asking me the same 3 questions. They never said them out loud. It didn't matter what the lineup looked like. It didn't matter what the scoreboard said. They just needed to know 3 things. And every leader, every coach, every parent is being asked the same ones. Here they are. Question #1: Can I trust you? Trust isn't given. It's earned. You earn it through transparency and honesty not when things are going well, but when things are hard. How I built it: • Do what you say you're going to do • Tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear • Show up the same way whether you're winning or losing You lose trust fast. You build it slow. Question #2: Can you make me better? This one is on you as a leader. They're not just asking about their swing or their stats. They're asking: do you see me clearly enough to help me grow? Question #3: Do you care about me? This is the most important one. And you can't fake it. You can't lead anybody if they don't believe you care about them beyond what they produce on the field. Three questions. No stat tracks them. But they determine everything.

Georgia Tech has the most dynamic offense in the country. Why? They have walked or been hit by pitch more than they strikeout. Almost unheard of for a team to do this. It advertises they have the best and most unselfish approach in the country. Have any other teams in the country walked or been hit by pitch more than they strikeout. Look at your favorite teams stats and see if they've done it. They're probably not even close. Georgia Tech has an approach and they are all in.

Hoz & Pete discuss the Perfect Game / Fanatics deal where kids potentially sign away their name, imagine, likeness at the youth sports level. Full episode in thread below. Thoughts??? @TheRealHos305 @PeterMoylan #perfectgame #fanatics #littleleague #highschoolbaseball #collegebaseball #youthsports

I’m at a loss for what PG is trying to implement here. Language of this contract with families has to be unavoidable. I’m not sure how PG makes themselves viable for anyone. American Legion and Joe DiMaggio ball looking pretty good and a whole lot cheaper. Arrogance at its best

Congrats to Trojan Baseball in their 6-1 victory over Lausanne on Tuesday to become the 2024 Div II-A Baseball West Regional Champions. They get a first round bye & host a substate series next week. Congrats to Seth Giamportone- Tournament MVP & Coach K-Region Coach of Year.

WE NEED MORE BASEBALL TEAMS DOING THIS FOR THEIR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS 😂😂😂😂😂

I really wish that every committed baseball player across the country would band together and commit to playing Legion ball after they commit. Personally I think it would be so much better for everyone involved. The level of Legion ball would climb so committed guys would still be playing against other good players. A ton of families out there would save thousands. And then on the travel circuit, it would literally be all uncommitted players playing against one another, which would make college recruiters' jobs much easier.

When in the minors I focused on working my ligaments; I never lifted heavy weights. Time has changed, and so has training, but if you want to become a pitcher, you should strive to learn the feel for pitching and the knowledge of what to do with the ball rather than throwing hard

Great 4½ minutes from Justin Verlander on all of the pitcher injuries we are seeing and well worth the listen. What do you think?
