17 pitchers have been signed by MLB orgs from the Atlantic League so far.
@BauerOutage has been named Atlantic League Pitcher of the Month for both April and May, being recognized as the most valuable pitcher in the league each month so far.
Fans love him.
Stadiums sell out for him.
Teammates love him.
Front offices love him.
He’s never paid a false accuser a single cent.
His false accusers both currently face criminal charges.
And the initial allegations were so BS that he was never charged with a crime, let alone even arrested on suspicion.
Make it make sense.
Guardians RBI are looking for a team to play Sunday night 5:45 & 7:45. 16-18 age doesn’t matter. We have field, lights, game balls and will split umpire cost. We had a team cancel on us today. Please let me know if interested.
A major reason Giants 2B Luis Arraez greatly improved his defense and ranks third in majors in outs above average is his daily work with Ron Washington. Forehand, backhand, different hops, angles, spins, standing, kneeling, out of Wash’s hand, off Wash’s bat. All paying off.
With the Best Damn Bat boy in the land! If any parent wants a true parent opinion as to what their son might be walking into. Please feel free to DM me. If any players want a players perspective @tome_iii can help there as well.

The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn’t get on. So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result. 😊
Cleveland Police, U.S. Marshals and others arrest more than 30 in “operation smoke and mirrors” targeting drug trafficking organizations in Cleveland’s Clark/Fulton neighborhood
A former big leaguer called me about his son, here are some of his metrics:
104 EV
6.8 60yd dash
4.0 GPA
88mph off the mound
3 year varsity starter
All region
Has ZERO OFFERS, and limited contact.
He told me he spent $10,000+ on recruiting services.
All with the same gameplan. “Build a profile on OUR website and post your info, college coaches subscribe to us”
I told him, the only profile he needs is his Twitter, and that’s free.
I begin to explain how the recruiting process works in 2026, and they followed my advice.
3 weeks later, has dozens of D1 phone calls, and two verbal offers.
Recruiting can be complex these days, if you get a legitimate gameplan… the sky is the limit✅
Former @MLB player John Vander Wal nailed it on his @facebook post!

The game is in an awful state.
I scouted professionally for two organizations over a ten-year period, and a lot of what we’re seeing today is being misunderstood or flat-out misrepresented.
First, velocity. Pitchers are not throwing significantly harder across the board. The perceived jump in velocity is primarily the result of technology and measurement changes — specifically where the device picks the baseball up out of the hand. As radar and tracking systems moved closer and closer to release, the readings increased. The arm didn’t change — the measurement did.
Now hitting.
We’ve reached a point where “gurus” who never played the game at a high level are applying golf swing principles to baseball, largely because golf embraced analytics to identify the most efficient swing paths. The problem is that a baseball bat is not a golf club.
In golf, you dump the club to get it on plane.
In baseball, you cannot lose the barrel on the back side and still stay on plane consistently.
Yet the tech community began preaching backside barrel dump as the answer. Front offices filled with non-baseball “propeller head” GMs bought into the presentations, and this philosophy was pushed aggressively through the minor leagues. I saw this coming as early as 2014.
The result?
Hitters now dump the barrel in an attempt to get on plane, but they:
• Struggle to stay inside the baseball
• Lose adjustability
• Operate with slower effective bat speed
On the pitching side, it’s no better.
Pitchers are taught max effort on every pitch. Starters rarely exceed 90 pitches or five innings, work almost exclusively to either arm side or glove side, and live in deep counts. Relievers are almost universally max effort, arm-side only.
The consequence is obvious:
• Poor command
• Inconsistent control
• Little ability to sequence or adjust
Despite all the technology, pitching command and overall feel are as bad as I’ve ever seen at the big-league level.
More data didn’t make the game smarter.
It just made it louder — and in many cases, worse.

HOLY CRAP! President Trump brought in a rice farmer and just had her LIST OFF COUNTRIES that have screwed her industry over.
I have a feeling that Trump is about to UNLEASH on these countries.
"We will get it solved VERY QUICKLY."
HUGE!!!
🚨 UPDATE: The U.S. government just dropped a bombshell on America’s enemies, declaring: “No more taxpayer dollars for hostile nations that hate America. If you vote against us at the UN, chant ‘Death to America,’ or fund anti-American NGOs, you’re cut off. Period.”
Very few, and I mean very few kids belong in D1 baseball as freshmen. Even less belong in P5 baseball.
With that being said. Every time I see a kid post a commitment to a junior college, D2, D3 or NAIA school, I think, that kid got good advice.
The kids that do belong in D1, and most especially P5 schools out of high school are the kids that are legitimately deciding between a pro contract and school.
The percentage of kids that get meaningful playing time as freshmen at D1, and most especially P5 schools advertises it's not a great decision for most.
