Head Varsity Baseball Coach at Southington H.S. - Top Speed Baseball 16U Coach/Owner - Former Division 1/Pro Pitcher - Former Professional Scout for the NY Mets
A parent reached out about moving his son to our travel program for better college opportunities. The family made the decision to switch.
His former coach calls me, dropping F-bombs because I accepted the kid. Apparently, I was supposed to say no?
Wild times in travel baseball.
Today we honor the brave men and women who served our great nation. Their courage and sacrifice protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.
Freedom isn’t free. It was earned through sacrifice.
To all our veterans, THANK YOU for your service! 🇺🇸
This summer, my 2028/29s will focus on team camps and tournaments with college coaches in attendance. At this stage, it’s about prioritizing exposure, not just playing another tournament. The goal isn’t just to play games—it’s to create opportunities for the next level.
Refreshing conversation with a baseball parent today. Knows his son��s abilities and limitations. Academics first, baseball second. Just wants a school where his son can compete, contribute, and enjoy the experience. No D1-or-bust mentality. Realistic expectations. Love to see it.
Advice to young coaches with pitching experience: Forget travel ball headaches—parents, umpires, tournaments & drama.
Open a velocity clinic. You’ll make a killing. Velocity sells!
And if you can actually teach pitchers to throw strikes too? You’ll be loaded
🚨 COLLEGE COACHES 🚨
2028 C | 6’2” | 220 lbs | 10+ HRs this summer/fall.
I don’t hype players just to hype them. When I put my name behind a player, it means something.
This is a next-level prospect. Interested college coaches, reach out. [email protected] or DM.
Running a travel baseball program with two teams per age group is 100% reasonable.
But when you start having 3, 4, or even 5 teams at the same age level, you have to ask yourself: Is this really about player development?
I think we all know the answer.
Some of the videos these baseball showcases post to promote players actually do more harm than good.
Not every video needs to be posted. Some of this stuff doesn’t showcase talent or help a kid get recruited.
Sometimes you’re better off not posting anything at all.
I recently helped a player commit to a college baseball program. Made calls, spoke with coaches, and assisted throughout.
His travel program had 0 involvement but took credit on Instagram.
Apparently, posting a picture counts as recruiting now. Talk about false advertising! 🤣
I’m Looking for TWO pitchers (Class of 2028/2029) to complete our top speed summer roster.

Parent calls a coach about his 2028 son pitching for him this summer.
Coach asks what colleges they’re targeting.
Parent says SEC or ACC programs.
Coach asks about velocity.
Parent says 73–77 mph.
Umm… okay. 🤔
The number of unreasonable people in today’s world is unbelievable. Common sense is becoming an endangered species.
I used to wonder why people moved into cabins deep in the mountains, miles from civilization.
Now I’m wondering how much those cabins cost. 🤣
Players, Stop worrying about where you hit in the batting order. Whether you’re hitting 1st, 4th, or 9th, YOU’RE IN THE STARTING LINEUP!
Where you hit doesn’t define you as a player. What matters is how you perform, contribute, and help your team win
I still believe Iron Mike is the best pitching machine out there.
Our HS program has several machines, but I’m looking to add an Iron Mike.
There’s something about hitters seeing an actual arm motion instead of a ball being fed through wheels.
Timing matters!
