So great catching up and getting some swings in with a former teammate who now calls Arizona home. Distance doesn’t change the friendship or the love for the game. 🥎
Runners: if your 3B coach doesn't tell you if you're "ground" or "seeing it thru", its smart to ask. Reactions at 3B are more primed than read due to the angle of view. Knowing the 3 modes at 3B are crucial.

🧵 The 7 questions every family should ask a college coach on an official visit.
Not the polite ones every recruit asks. The ones that actually tell you what the next four years will look like.
After 35 years on both sides, these are the ones that separate the families who choose well from those who choose blind.

Jonathan Albaladejo Joins NAFL Staff for 2026
Avon, OH – April 24, 2026 –
The North American Fall League is excited to announce that former Major League pitcher Jonathan Albaladejo has been signed to coach in the league’s inaugural 2026 season.
A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, the 6'5" right-hander was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 34th round of the 2000 MLB June Amateur Draft from Colegio Janil (Vega Alta, Puerto Rico) and the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 19th round of the 2001 MLB June Amateur Draft from Miami Dade College (Miami, FL).
Albaladejo reached the big leagues with the Washington Nationals @Nationals in 2007, then pitched for the New York Yankees @Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks @Dbacks , appearing in 66 MLB games. He also played in Japan for the Yomiuri Giants and in Mexico. Jonathan brings extensive playing, coaching and managerial experience, and is currently serving as manager of the Trois-Rivières Aigles in the Frontier League. His deep pitching background and leadership will be a huge asset for our players.

If a coach calls pitches, should we include their name next to the pitcher's in the stat line for ERA?
There's pros & cons, but less accountability of coaches when a pitcher "doesn't execute or hit their spot". Maybe it was pitch selection? Micromanage vs Teaching.
Aggressiveness is constantly being destroyed at the youth level by well intentioned parents and coaches. Aggressive hitters are going to swing at "bad" pitches from time to time. They will figure out the strike zone w experience. Being primed TO HIT is the secret ingredient.

Couldn’t agree more. I did everything I could behind the scenes… emails, social media, camps… anything and everything I could to get coaches out. But when our team got placed at complexes far from coach traffic, it hit me how real the “recruiting bubble” is. I’ve been at showcases with zero coach activity. I lived it for years. Once I finally picked up with another team (that my team had beaten in the past), I was on prime fields, packed with coaches. Eye-opening. My game hadn’t changed. The competition I played wasn’t much different. The crazy part… I hadn’t even done the work behind the scenes with many of the coaches that stopped to watch me, but I was inside the “bubble” and all of a sudden I had visits and offers lined up.

I saw less than 20 coaches total all weekend…some games, I was the only set of eyes on ANY field 🤯
In those 20 conversations, it was evident and clear who they were there to see. It wasn’t by chance that they showed up!!
My point 👉🏼Tourneys will shout and tout about “exposure” and “college coaches attending” but the truth is unless the players are handling business before, during, and after tourneys, no one is being seen, evaluated, or exposed 💯
It goes beyond social media and tagging coaches. It goes beyond just showing up and hoping to be seen. It goes beyond just thinking that they’ll find you.
