College baseball is about to hit an all-time high if this happens.
D1.
D2.
D3.
NAIA.
JUCO.
Every level benefits.
More opportunities for players. More growth for the game.
This would be massive.

MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.

You will not see a better sports video today:

What a moment for this family

The NCAA Baseball Tournament might be the most underrated event in sports. Deserves way more juice.

May Madness, baby

Looks like if you play college ball—better be on the football and baseball teams! 5’8-6’4 guards—play football baby!

I love these dudes! They helped build me into the coach and person I am today. Grateful for every practice, bus ride, and tough moment we went through together. Tough, hard nosed kids that helped build the standard at Biggersville. Proud of every one of them. #BiggvsErrrbody

[Case Ingram @CoachIngramAO1]

Just about everyone—thank you guys for all the effort and energy you put into the program. 41-11 over 4 years, 3 district championships, 3 north half appearances, and 1 state championship. Love you dudes

I was raised in a baseball culture where you earned EVERYTHING.

Playing time.
Trust.
Respect.
Opportunities.
Leadership.

Blue collar meant earning respect through work, not demanding it through words.

Nothing was handed to you.
Nothing was explained 14 different ways to protect your feelings.

If coaches got after you, you got tougher.
You worked harder.
You proved them wrong.

Now too many athletes want accountability-free environments where every hard conversation is called “toxic” and every uncomfortable moment becomes someone else’s fault.

Soft cultures create fragile players.

The real world doesn’t care about your excuses, your feelings, or who you blame.

It rewards toughness.
Consistency.
Discipline.
Accountability.
Competitiveness.

Always has. Always will.

WATCH: “This mentality in our society where everybody thinks that you're promised something, and that life's easy is really false.

Because as you guys know, when you deal with life, there's gonna be some things that happen to you that you didn't create, and you still have to wake up the next morning, you gotta go to work, and you gotta provide for your family.

And this college athletics situation that we're in, that doesn't teach them that. And it's unfortunate. It’s not that I don't want them to make money, but man, you gotta earn it when you're out there.” ECU Baseball Coach Cliff Godwin after the Pirates avoided a sweep with a 3-0 shutout victory over Rice,

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Remember This: Your coach really doesn't determine your playing time.
Your own choices do.
Your effort.
Your attitude.
Your work ethic & more.

Happy birthday to baseball assistant coach Dylan Earnest! 🥳#PR1DE

Building a culture is more about subtraction than addition.
Must get rid of excuses, comfort zones, and negativity before you add anything.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Championship teams require sacrifice.
If your high school coach suspends you or kicks you off the team during the playoffs because you got arrested or were caught underage drinking.
Thank him.
He values winning culture and requires sacrifice.
Winning culture requires accountability.
Champions act like champions.

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

1) my fist varsity start came as a freshman because there were a bunch of juniors at prom. I had a hit and was on varsity ever since.
2) my graduation was on the same day as the senior all star game and beehive field against the best players in the state. I walked across the stage and left straight for the game.
I’ve come to the conclusion it’s just a different generation now I guess but choosing a social activity over an athletic event (if you’re claiming to be serious about it) is pretty non serious unfortunately.
