Back from @PSBaseballinc Black Bear Classic. We did not perform as we could have (2-2). Competition was good. I was 2-4 with an RBI and a run scored in 2 starts. Made a nice plays at 3B. 5 days @CresseySP and then Prospect Select SE Open with @nextlevelbb starting July 6.
Had a good day at the plate today. First AB jumped on a first pitch for a line drive single. Second AB, chopper to SS with 2 strikes. Third AB RBI single to LF, scored later. Good team win, need to pick up our last pool game tomorrow. @nextlevelbb
I am spending the summer @CresseySP, and playing 6 tournaments with my @nextlevelbb family. I am dedicated to getting better every day and fully back from my surgery. It has been an awesome summer so far building relationships at Cressey and two successful tournaments with NLB.

Thank you, Coach @vic_cas22, for everything you brought to this team this year. We are better because of it. Now go hit some bombs this summer because your guys will be watching.
Impactfulness should be why coaches coach.
The most influential person in a player's amateur baseball career can be an array of people.
Ranging from high school coaches, travel ball coaches, college coaches, private instructors, strength coaches, etc.
There can also be the most influential at different segments of careers.
Undoubtedly a kids coaches and instructors during his high school career can either be the gas or the water. They can either ignite a kids interest and desire or they can diminish it.
I've watched a JV coach who is a current pro player ignite his teams interest and desire. His impact has changed how his players look, act, interact with each other, compete and play the beautiful game of baseball.
Victor Castillo played junior college baseball, D1 baseball and is now a professional player in the Frontier League.
He is giving back to his high school alma mater by impacting a tremendous amount of kids.
His players will now consider him a trusted mentor that impacted their careers because he earned it.
Summer slash line: .314/.442/.813. No errors and played some new positions. 17-8 record and ended the season by winning the ProspectWire National Championship. Thank you to @nextlevelbb coaches, teammates and families. Now on to the getting stronger, faster, and smoother.
