Unreal hitter, extremely diligent worker, even better man. Any organization will be hard-pressed to find a more consistent and LOUD bat. My DMs are open if you need any further information.

Looking for professional opportunities
@UofBbaseball Clearly you're seeking more clicks, so I commend you for committing to that and getting that task accomplished. But if you were trying to actually promote the health and wellbeing of overhead athletes, I feel sorry for your players and followers who take your posts seriously. 🤦♂️
I asked Division I coaches:
"What's the biggest difference between recruits who are ready to play in college vs. those who aren't?"
Their answers consistently came back to three things:
Physicality
Mental Toughness
Understanding the Game
🧵👇
The most telling of stats is the BB line for a pitcher. Change my mind.
You can throw 90+ with a sharp breaker and a plus changeup on Trackman all day... but if you're loading up the bases for free, you're about as effective as 4 flat tires on a car.
Watching UCLA get eliminated today brought back some memories.
When I played at UCLA, we lost to a team we should have beaten on paper.
Season over.
I remember being shocked.
Then I learned one of the most important lessons baseball can teach:
The game doesn't reward potential.
It rewards performance.
Nobody gets extra runs because they're ranked #1.
Nobody advances because they're supposed to win.
Nobody gets a pass because they had a great season.
You have to earn it every single day.
That's what makes baseball beautiful.
And brutal.
The best team doesn't always win.
The team that performs usually does.
Tough ending for the Bruins.
Credit to St. Mary's.
They played great baseball and earned the opportunity to keep playing.

If you're a prospective high school baseball player, transfer, or JuCo player, I encourage you to watch the @NAIAWorldSeries on @UrbanEdgeTv and see the competition on display. May change your mind on the crazy talent that's at this level.
@JermaineCurtis 100%. Yet we are in a culture that would lead all players good enough to earn a high school post-season accolade to believe they "deserve" to walk onto campus and see the field.
From a pro. It's the biggest level up in the game, no matter the level. Work your butt off before you expect to get recruited or expect to step on the field, let alone start.
My high school coach worked us hard.
But nothing compared to college baseball.
That first week on campus, I was so sore I could barely take a step longer than 6 inches.
That’s when I realized:
There are levels to this game.
