2029 2B/C Foster Strasburger lines one right back up the middle for a RBI single.
Keeps the hands back and gets the barrel out on time to drive it to plate a run.

🚨INCREDIBLE: A baby was taken out of the womb at 23 weeks, had a life-threatening tumor removed, and was put BACK INSIDE so she could keep growing.
In one of the most remarkable surgeries ever performed, doctors at Texas Children’s Hospital opened the mother’s uterus at just 23 weeks, partially delivered the tiny baby, cut away a massive tumor that was crushing her heart, then gently placed her back into the womb and sewed everything shut.
The baby, LynLee Hope, continued developing for another 13 weeks and was born healthy near full term.
This is open fetal surgery — one of the most advanced and delicate procedures in modern medicine. Surgeons literally operate on a child who is still supposed to be inside her mother, then return her to finish growing.
A living miracle of skill, courage, and science.
@JimmyStein_LOB Would be interesting to compare this list with a list of all the QBs that were also drafted high and still playing as QB1, during the same draft periods.
A D2 coordinator posted something that should scare every recruit reading this.
His school’s database held 50,000+ recruits for a single class.
One class.
One year.
50,000 names.
He can’t watch 50,000 highlight tapes.
Nobody can.
So he doesn’t try.
He eliminates.
Fast.
Every coach runs a checkbox system before he presses play on your film.
Checkbox 1 is size.
You can’t control height, but weight is 100% on you.
If you’re undersized for your position, every other box has to be perfect just to survive the cut.
Checkbox 2 is position need.
A coach can love your film and still cut you if he already took 3 quarterbacks in your grad year.
Zero room left.
That’s why sending 100 messages to one level is a losing bet.
Fire wide across every level.
Some staff has a hole at your spot right now.
Checkbox 3 is grades, and it’s the one most families ignore.
Below FBS, academic money stacks on top of athletic money.
A 3.5 GPA kid is cheaper to offer than a 2.5 GPA kid with the same exact film.
Talent gets you recruited.
Grades get you offered.
Aim for a 3.0 minimum, and know that 3.5+ often maxes your offer.
Check your NCAA core GPA, not your transcript number.
Core excludes PE and electives.
Floors are 2.3 for D1 and 2.2 for D2.
Checkbox 4 is your X profile.
When a coach hears your name, he searches X, not Google.
He gives you about 30 seconds to prove you’re worth the click.
A helmet photo, no measurables, and a bare Hudl link gets you cut before he ever opens your film.
Only after all of that does he reach checkbox 5: your first 5 plays.
A D1 recruiter and a director of player personnel both told me the same number.
30 seconds.
3 to 5 plays before he decides.
Order your best play first, because there is no later.
Notice the order here.
Size, position need, grades, X profile, then film.
Film is dead last.
Most recruits obsess over their highlight tape and fail every box that comes before it.
And here’s the part that flips this whole thing.
You can pass every single box and still get skipped, because he simply forgot you exist.
A coach needs to see your name about 7 times before it sticks.
One message is not a strategy.
It’s hope.
The numbers behind losing your belly in 90 days:
One pound of fat is 3,500 calories.
Every number below comes off that one. And once you've seen them, you can't unsee them.
A 500-calorie daily deficit is 3,500 a week.
That's a pound.
So 20 lbs is 70,000 calories. At 500 a day, that's 20 weeks.
Nobody wants to hear 20 weeks. It's still 20 weeks.
Here's where it actually goes.
One tablespoon of cooking oil is 120 calories. Every day for a year, that's 12 lbs you never tasted.
Two beers, three nights a week, is 13 lbs a year. Nobody counts drinks as food.
Going from 1,500 steps a day to 10,000 is 350 calories. Over a year, 36 lbs.
None of those are diets. They're numbers you're already living with, pointed one way or the other.
LIFTING
Three sessions a week at 45 minutes is 2 hours 15 minutes.
That's 1.3% of your week.
Over six months, 58 hours total.
Those 58 hours are what stand between losing 30 lbs and looking like a smaller version of the same guy.
Diet alone drops the number on the scale. Lifting decides what the 30 lbs comes off.
There isn't a third option. And cardio doesn't do this job.
The prescription: 10-20 hard sets per muscle per week. Each muscle hit twice. Add a rep or a little weight most sessions.
That's it. Anything past an hour a session is mostly cortisol.
SLEEP
Seven hours a night is 49 hours a week.
Sleep five instead and you hand back 14 of those. Every week. Forever.
An hour less a night across a year is 365 hours. Fifteen full days of sleep you didn't get.
Under six hours raises cortisol and lowers testosterone. That's the exact combination that makes fat loss harder and muscle retention worse.
You can eat perfectly and train hard and still hand most of it back on five hours a night.
Caffeine has an eight-hour tail. The 3pm coffee is usually the reason.
THE TWO NUMBERS THAT SET EVERYTHING ELSE
Protein: 1g per pound of goal weight. At 180 lbs that's 180g, split across three to four meals of 45-60g.
Fat loss: 0.5 to 1% of bodyweight a week. At 200 lbs that's 1 to 2 lbs.
Run 1.5 lbs a week for six months and that's 39 lbs.
Most people reading this don't need to lose 39 lbs.
That's the whole thing on a calculator.
No food is banned. No plan is magic.
One number.
A few habits that move it a few hundred calories a day.
Three lifts a week to decide what comes off.
Seven hours of sleep a night.
Keep it simple and get going today.
@nextlevelbb Help!
I convinced my up & coming sophomore to forego fall travel and just focus on body, technique and arm strength. (2B, C)
Coach called and says he needs the live ABs. How do I decide? HS ball prep>fall travel or am I wrong
Thank you, dear Lady, for speakin those true words about us poor, busted up men.
Finally, somebody had the courage to say it out loud.
The daily sufferin of the male species, Lord have mercy.
Women keep layin hands on us, pullin us in, forcin kisses on our innocent faces.
They touch us in ways no decent man should have to endure and try to tempt us before we can even climb the nearest tree.
It’s all so damn awful.
So tragic.
So terrible.
@zachdcarter Many things can be true. Dems didnt vet him.
2026 Dem voters are retarded. Collins is awful.
Melting pot of modern day politics exemplified in one state.
Happy 4th to my US Family! 🇺🇸💯
Wouldn’t have the life I have without the Freedom and Opportunity provided by the United States of America and the Great state of Alabama!
