Just my take.
This past H.S. season, I saw more pitchers throwing 85-89 mph than ever. The fastball wasn’t the problem. The toughest at-bats came against 75 mph lefties who threw strikes, pitched backwards, and landed solid breaking balls and changeups. Pitchability wins games.
My entire feed is:
“I’m entering the transfer portal.”
Would be nice to see just a few:
“I’m staying at my current school because I like the coaches, the program, and the school.”
The rarest commitment in college baseball today might be staying committed.

Somewhere in America right now, a middle school is promoting a student to high school who cannot read. An elementary school passed them first. Everyone was nice about it. Nobody helped.
"School is not a miracle society changer. The purpose of school is to learn to read, write, and do math. We have no expectation of restaraunts or hospitals to fix society."
Nobody talks about the parent who never once asked their kid if they had homework. Not once in a semester. Not once in the school year. The teacher emailed. The teacher called. The teacher sent the progress reports home. Nobody on the other end was paying attention. We talk about teacher accountability every single day, but we don't hold parents to the same standard.
If a student is failing, has 25 absences and 58 tardies, and the administrator’s first question is, “What could the teacher be doing differently?” then we’re asking the wrong questions.
