I've played professional baseball.
I've coached collegiate baseball.
I've evaluated thousands of high school players over the last 12 years.
Here are a few baseball truths I've learned:
• Failure is inevitable. How you respond to it is a choice.
• The game rewards resilience far more than talent gives it credit for.
• Body language is visibly LOUD.
• You never know who's watching.
• Talent gets you noticed. Consistency gets you recruited.
• Nobody cares how good you were last week.
• The players who blame others rarely improve.
• Confidence comes from preparation, not motivation.
• The game owes you nothing.
• Coaches trust competitors before they trust tools.
• Your teammates know if you're real.
• Baseball has a funny way of exposing excuses.
• The best players are usually obsessed with improvement, not attention.
• Nobody remembers your excuses. They remember your actions.
Build your floor. Chase your ceiling. ⚾️
@CatawbaBaseball Commit @koamikeal3's 3rd inning Triple was the @nextlevelbbnc Play of the Game.
He hit it so hard off the wall that the baseball started rolling back towards the infield. This ball would be gone in almost every HS ballpark, but good for Mikeal to hustle out the box and earn the 3B.
He finished the day 1 for 2 w/ the 3B, a BB, and 2 R
