HOT TAKE🔥🔥

Noise makers at high school baseball games gotta go.

Horns, cowbells, sirens…all of it 😭

The energy of the game should speak for itself. Big moments hit harder when the crowd reaction is real and not drowned out by noise every pitch.

AGREE OR DISAGREE?? 👀

JUCO isn’t a backup plan. It’s a launchpad.

Most players get this wrong.

JUCO eliminates wannabes. You either grow or you get passed up.

Here’s the reality:
• Coaches recruit: Portal → JUCO → High School
• You get real reps (400+ ABs, 100+ innings)
• You become tougher, more accountable, more reliable
• Your value goes UP after being tested

I’ve coached D1 and played pro… JUCO is where separation happens...on and off the field.

Play the Long Game. PTLG.

Players -

Don’t discount programs with a poor win/loss record based on that factor alone.

Your opportunities to get on the field and make an impact may be greater at those programs, and that matters.

3B/RHP Hunter Hancock (@HunterHancock07, 2026) showing some middle of the field juice w/this long single.

Present strength, solid bat-to-ball skills showing an all-fields approach. Worked a long AB, dropped the barrel to a pitch down in the zone.

Wildcats trail 2-0, B2.

The hitter’s swings, foul balls, and takes give you a good idea of his approach. What do I mean?

Fastballs:

Is he late on the FB? Where are his foul balls? Pulled foul? Or over the opposite dugout? Or, is he taking them?

So, if late, this means that we pitch FB in, up, and expand down. If he’s taking them, he might be sitting strike offspeed.

Also, if he’s late on FB, be careful throwing a get me over strike offspeed pitch. You will be doing him a favor.

A good question to ask is, where can we go where his barrel can’t square the ball up?

Offspeed: is he pulling them foul? Are his takes good or bad? Does his swing look comfortable on the offspeed? Where does he chase?

A good tidbit to follow is that we should chase bad swings.

The best hitters in the world can make the adjustment pitch to pitch.

Most players, especially at the HS and below level, can’t do that. So if he takes a bad swing on a pitch, throw it again. If he takes it, throw a different pitch, then go back to bad swing pitch.

Another tidbit is that if the hitter fouls a ball straight back to the backstop, be very careful repeating that, because he just missed it.

Many more nuances to this but this is basic food for thought.
