Parent calls a coach about his 2028 son pitching for him this summer. Coach asks what colleges they’re targeting. Parent says SEC or ACC programs. Coach asks about velocity. Parent says 73–77 mph. Umm… okay. 🤔

How college coaches actually evaluate high school hitters. I spent 2 years as a hitting coach in the Orioles organization Some of the players I was sure wouldn't make it are in the big leagues right now. Projecting hitters is hard. Here's what coaches look at 🧵

Love the HR as much as the next guy… but 10-0 with zero bombs. Two out and two strike hitting clinic!!! Magical… it works!!!! It’s winning baseball and it beats anyone!!!! And the hustle play to beat force at 2B was huge!!!!

Worrying is like being in a rocking chair; it gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere.

If your HS coach(es) put on organized workouts in the offseason and you are not playing another sport…. I encourage you to take advantage of this quality FREE training/practice. You don’t have to pay for training for it to be of value. If you take lessons, plan those for a time when you are not at your HS training. Then you get a double bonus. It should not be one or the other. Of course I’m talking about players who love the game and are hungry to get better. *** Footnote: not everyone is blessed to have quality coaches who give up their time in the off season to help other. But if you do, take advantage of it and thank them.

We should make baseball more fair. The pitchers should have to tell the batter what pitch is being thrown.

Least favorite Indian of all time. A statue for Thome is insane. He chose to leave. Didn’t win anything in Cleveland.

I have a lot of respect for Jim Thome, but it's disappointing to see him wearing all black at the game today. There isn't a statue of him in front of that shitty stadium in Chicago.
