Six shutout innings tonight for Grand Blanc High School alum Dylan Cumming en route to a 2-0 win for the Birmingham Barons. Way to go, DC! Proud of you!

So proud of how my hitters showcased their talent this year. Probably team records for Batting Average and Home Runs.
Along with individual records set as well.
The year didnt go how we wanted, but they never let up, and I am excited for the future of @MVCCBaseball

[Moraine Valley Baseball @MVCCBaseball]

Highest Team Batting Average since.... i dont know when.
We also put up 53 Team Home Runs, which may also be a Team Record!

Aiden was the leader I needed behind the dish this year. He is vocal, throws guys out, catches every pop up. He also had an awesome comeback year this year at the plate. Captain of the clubhouse also.
Mature approach, quiet hands with tons of pull side pop, tough to strikeout, and he is very sneaky on the bases. He understands the game. I let him call most games.
Played through everything, gave me everything he had.
Forever grateful for this guy, one of my OGs!

Aidan has battled all year and was crucial in our last 15 games hitting .341 in that stretch. He played a lot of RF this year, but I moved him over to 3rd a couple games with no problem. Battled some injuries that he had to miss time for but I am so proud of how he competes. Goes 110% on the field. Awesome IQ on the bases, knows and loves the game. Made some PLAYS in the outfield down the stretch.
SMOOTH lefty swing, and plays everywhere but C.

[Argo Baseball @argobaseball]

Work ethic off the charts w/ the eagerness to learn. Does not take plays off and is a consummate professional. Always a tough out & never gets cheated. @ValenteMelero is a great teammate who continues to elevate his game to impressive levels. Excited for this Argo kid and future.

Just a kid from Argo… Had one of, if not the best offensive year in Moraine History. As a 19 year old true freshman, he was 3rd in the region in hits, 4th in total bases, 9th in HBP, 4th in HR, 5th in BA and OBP, 9th in slugging.
He was the most valuable person to our team, and in my opinion the whole region. His passion for the game and vocal leadership is unmatched. Don’t ask me how hard he hits off the tee… he hits the ball hard. His defense is not a handicap either.
I am excited to see him develop into a MONSTER.
He is looking for summer opportunities too!

[Tyler Zunkel @CoachZunk]

SABS!!
He didn’t quite have the numbers he wanted, but he showed a TON of potential on the mound with 3 nasty pitches.
Sits in the mid 80s, wipeout slider. Pitching for the Pistol Shrimp this summer. Has the best work ethic on the staff. Constantly doing something pitching related. I am confident he will impress this summer!
There’s something about this guy where he just hates to lose. I am very proud of his attitude all year. Don’t have to worry about his grades either.

Mike had a rough start to the year, and ended up hitting .370 in his last 35 games. He is a true gritty player. Moved him all around the lineup and settled in at leadoff.
Moved to the OF this year and really learned how to get after It as the season progressed. Power to all fields, clutch in big moments.

This young man is one of the most high character guys I’ve ever coached.
3.83 GPA going into Nursing.
He’s overcome so many obstacles the past couple years, and is really coming into form on defense at 3B as well.
He’s consistently on barrel to all fields, stays with the off-speed pitches, stays inside the ball. I am so proud of the year he’s had.
Whoever gets him will not have to worry about how hard he’s going to work.

JUCO isn’t a backup plan. It’s a launchpad.

Most players get this wrong.

JUCO eliminates wannabes. You either grow or you get passed up.

Here’s the reality:
• Coaches recruit: Portal → JUCO → High School
• You get real reps (400+ ABs, 100+ innings)
• You become tougher, more accountable, more reliable
• Your value goes UP after being tested

I’ve coached D1 and played pro… JUCO is where separation happens...on and off the field.

Play the Long Game. PTLG.
