1 of 1 competitor and great young. Very proud of all he has done!

[Lainey Gerber @laigerber]

West Michigan native Cam Schuelke turns heads in every ballpark he pitches in, and it's obvious why. His delivery is... funky 😂

Hardest thing to get Gen Z baseball players to understand.

[Matt Gerber @M_Gerber17]

“Energy” isn’t yelling at your opponent or being overly “rah-rah”. Focus and intent are energy. Being on the top step (or on the fence) engaged in the game is energy. Sprinkle in some dugout shenanigans and rituals and you’ve got the recipe for what energy should look like.

[Pat MacKenzie @CoachMac_BC]

@NolanBooth68601 has put a lot of work in. Very deserving, great kid on and off the field.

@scottpicard1090 @kelseydennehytv I found this: “A UCLA study (often cited alongside Dr. DiFiori) found that 88% of NCAA Division I athletes participated in multiple sports growing up, with 70% not specializing in one sport until after age 12.“ The lack of precision when people talk about this drives me nuts!

[Pat MacKenzie @CoachMac_BC]

@CoachOpe But nothing like the 15 hour bus rides, getting back at like 5am and having 8am class. Teams down south know what I’m talking about right?

[Pat MacKenzie @CoachMac_BC]

@SydneyLWatson The guy knows ball.

[Pat MacKenzie @CoachMac_BC]

@jhutt5 Isn’t some of this just the map and demographics? Statistically there is just a higher probability you will have east side teams at Ford Field. Only one D1 west side team can even make it to a semi final.

Or are you talking talent wise?

[Pat MacKenzie @CoachMac_BC]

Being an elite position player in baseball is a unique blend of athleticism requirements like football, but also the skill requirements like golf.

Oh and is the toughest mentality because you can do everything right, “win your battle”, and get a failing result.

Love this game

[Ohio Divided @BuckeyeNatty]

Straight facts

Baseball is the hardest sport out there

The hand-eye coordination, reaction time, precision, focus, timing, and sheer athletic ability it takes can’t be matched by most other sports
