@CoachJSmith_ @USABaseball @TheDataCage Kids are going to start swinging longer bats with the additional drop weights.

[Braden Taylor @CoachBT_StingBC]

@CoachJSmith_ @USABaseball @TheDataCage the comparison I want to see is a 33/30 vs a 36/30. Same mass, different length. My fear is the extra whip with the same mass could have a significant change in exit velocity. Pitcher safety is a concern.

[Next Level Prospects @NextLVLProspect]

Recruiting Wisdom:

✅2027’s - you have time - especially pitchers and guys with speed and a good bat

2-ways -> find time to rest your arm - “I was 88/89, but now 84/86 isn’t good”

✅2028’s - you have SO MUCH time - if your phone doesn’t blow up
8/1-8/3 don’t panic - just continue this stack days and put the work in

✅2029’s - stay healthy / you’re not being recruited…..the top .05% are getting their names circled

To do-> Weight room and nutrition guidance

✅2030’s - stay healthy / you’re not being recruited at all….

To do -> enjoy your “last summer” - take a vacation with your family, it’s okay.

Immediate recommendation:
✔️@OTRSports_ - I use this everyday for the travel orgs I support behind the scenes AND the families I 1:1 advise for - it is the best platform on the market for families / advisors / travel coaches/directors
▫️Build your list
▫️Email Coaches (all of them)
▫️Track | ID camps
▫️Upload schedules / transcripts / videos / etc to share with coaches
▫️Your coaches can have access and help you too

Recommendations for 27’s-30’s:
✔️Creatine
✔️Protein Drinks
✔️MORE calories
✔️Sleep Regimen - frequently missed
✔️Proper lifting regimen
✔️Learn to move better
✔️Track your fitness / weight / calories - be obsessed with every part of the process

Lastly:

🙏Thank your parents / guardians - they’re doing so much and sacrificing so much for you. Thank them, love them, let them hear it.

Few BP swings before @h3sportsmedia showcase and Boston Classic

@Mr_Schlen @JBC_Baseball @PB_CoachBT

[Braden Taylor @CoachBT_StingBC]

@Coach_O_10 @PG_Tourney I just looked the tournament up and saw the team that got in as the #96 seed. Did you happen to see the logo on their uniforms? It was a 5 Star Mafia team, owner of that organization is also a large stakeholder in PG. Have seen this before.
