@alixonmartinez2 Amen to that

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

Your ability to find JOY in the process over the next 3 months has a huge impact on “what’s next”

Coaches see passion for the game instantly.

It’s also easy to see when pressure to perform impacts joy of playing the game.

Don’t forget why you grabbed a ball to begin with ⚾️

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

@Cuse_MBB As favorable an away schedule as a first year head coach in the ACC could hope for.

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

🚨🚨 Diving in with @ShowBallCamps to find future Ephs this summer ⚾️

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

@Cuse_MBB Great hire 💪🏼 Great Leader. Tireless worker. Amazing person.

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

NESCAC recruiting is a different sport.
Williams, Amherst, Tufts, Bowdoin, Bates — these coaches care about:

AP course load
Whether the athlete reads
Whether the family can pay (no athletic scholarships)
Whether the kid genuinely wants the academic experience

If your son hates school, NESCAC is not the answer.

[ShowBall @ShowBallCamps]

20-year NESCAC veteran Coach Bill Barrale has built @WilliamsColBB into one of D3 baseball's most respected programs- 300+ wins & NESCAC titles. Don't miss your shot to get in front of one of the best!

Ivy League, Patriot League, NESCAC, and high-academic Division III recruiting are not just baseball decisions.

They are academic-athletic fit decisions.

Families have to understand the classroom, the roster, the admissions reality, and the athlete’s readiness.

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

2026 made me grateful for the process.

I’ve always thought that you learn more during bumpy seasons.

And it keeps you hungry to get better

[WilliamsCollegeBaseball @EphsCollBB]

As the 2026 season concludes
-There was ups
-There was downs
-There was growth
-There was resiliency
-There was struggle

Through it all:
The culture never wavered.
The vision is clear.

We continue to build and LEARN

To recruiting we go!

See you on the path ✅

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

@jsadams33 It’s needs to be talked about! Until this happens more regularly we live by the definition of insanity!

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

Just because you’re capable of sitting 90+ doesn’t mean you’re READY to.

Unless our foundational values go back to efficiency and mix we will continue to see
-staff days
-walks
-injuries

We need to get a grip on what matters!

[Matt Colbert @CoachMColbert]

How could anybody argue this?? Coaches like velo but they LOVE “feel”.

Seen a lot of 86-88 with a 3-4 pitch arsenal make really good hitters look really average.

Priority number 1 is always command and pitch-mix.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

The velocity era is a tired act.
Watching dudes with below command trying to throw as hard as they can every pitch is vomit worthy.
It's time for the pitchability, moxie and feel era to resurface.
Control and command the ball.
Then learn to throw it harder, not the other way around.
