@nextlevelbb Agreed and the game also teaches both. 😉

[Tyler Osik @TylerOsik]

Exit velocity, bat speed, and all the data matter. At some point, you do need to hit certain physical thresholds to compete at the highest levels of baseball.

But once you get around players who are all talented, the separator usually isn’t another 2 mph of bat speed.

It’s mental toughness. Resilience. Confidence. The ability to handle failure. Having a consistent approach. Showing up every day. Competing when things aren’t going your way.

The numbers might get you noticed. Your mindset is what determines how far you go.

I’ve seen plenty of players with elite metrics fail, and plenty of players with average metrics maximize every ounce of their ability because of who they were between the ears.

Train the body. Don’t neglect the mind.

As someone who’s been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, I’ll just say….
There’s a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was 💯the way! Bravo!

West Virginia HC Steve Sabins on West Virginia's track record with multiple D2 transfers and what they look for in them:

"We've had three Division 2 pitchers in our starting rotation for the last three years. All of those guys, by the way, have become draft picks in their senior year...We probably have a little bit of a soft spot for the guy that shows up here hungry, wanting to get better, maximizes his opportunity, and believes that he hit the jackpot playing at West Virginia." - @stevesabins @WVUBaseball

Paul Skenes was driving by a Little League field and decided to stop by 🥹

He played catch and talked with the kids for over two hours the night before he pitches against the Dodgers at PNC Park 👏

A Dad should be the one man in your life, who wishes you do better than him, and is more happy for you, than you are, when you do.

HS Pitchers: 👇

I've watched a lot of Regionals and Super Regionals the last two weeks.

I've seen 95-98 mph heaters.

I've seen 86-92 mph heaters.

You know what I've seen from almost ALL of them?

Pitchability.

Command.
Movement.
Quality secondaries.
Conviction.
Competitiveness.

Velocity gets attention. Certainly. BUT pitchability gets outs.

Find a program, a coach, or trainer, that will help YOU build both. ⚾️🙌

The greatest athletic gift any team or organization can give you is a real politic free perform to play environment.

A buddy of mine snapped this picture while I was watching my son play baseball last night. Honestly, it probably captures something I didn’t even realize in the moment.

Like many parents, I sometimes get wrapped up in these games. I think part of it comes from knowing these moments won’t last forever.

Deep down, we know we’re living through moments we’ll someday miss more than we can explain.

These games become more than wins and losses. They become memories.

And while I know there’s still plenty of baseball left, I also know there will come a day when I’d give just about anything to sit in a folding chair one more time and watch my kids play ball again.

[Piedmont Lions Baseball @PULionsBaseball]

Final from game 2.

Lions finish the season 33-15. Couldn’t be more proud of this group and all the history they made this season.

Scores from the DIII Baseball Super Regionals.
Weather moved a few games, resulting in Rowan and Salisbury clinching World Series berths on day 1 of the supers. Johns Hopkins and Claremont-M-S split their two games today in back-to-back extra inning affairs.
