Tag Plays should be worked on every day! They can change an Inning/Game in an instant! Infielders are now working to the front part of the bag. Why? Catchers are working on throwing to the slide path of the baserunner. Here are keys to tag plays:

1. Let the Ball Travel/No Reach

2. Catch/Tag-Knowing runner is working for the back part of the bag

3. Stay athletic/ Use the swipe tag/Do not let your feet get stuck

Ultimately getting your left knee over the bag is Ideal for the setup.

Stay athletic/let the ball travel/catch tag

Pregame matters!! How you prepare before a game is a huge evaluation time for coaches/scouts. You may not get a ball hit to you during the game! Work with intent, at game speed and under control. Spoke to a college coach today, told me he stopped recruiting a player because his pregame was lazy. It translates!! You’re always being evaluated!!

Nobody more deserving! Pumped for you! @snacci5

[Chicago White Sox @whitesox]

Sam Antonacci has arrived🤩

[Mason Zander @Mason6Zander]

Christo Hunsicker has been developing great reads on slow rollers and choppers at third base! He's continuing to improve day in and day out! @_Chunsicker_ @villebase @coachshehan

[SleeperWhiteSox @SleeperWhiteSox]

Sam Antonacci stats through 5 games in Triple-A:

.350/.519/.650/1.169
2 HR
4 RBI / 5 R
6 BB / 1 K
3 SB

I think it’s possible we will be seeing Antonacci in the Show soon‼️

[Mason Zander @Mason6Zander]

13 days until opening day at Wingate in North Carolina! This team’s getting better every day. @villebase

[Matt Schilling @CCUSchill]

Infielders must learn to play backwards in addition to foreword! This skill allows them to create their hop, increases range, and can make tougher plays easier. It MUST be worked on! #chantsup @coastalbaseball

[Matt Schilling @CCUSchill]

As infielders, we want to "Create" our hop, not "pick" our hop. You create your hop by moving your feet, step up, step back, attack, sit, etc... @TyDooley for @CoastalBaseball developed into one of the best at this! #chantsup

[Matt Pepin @matthewpepin_]

“The college game has just gotten so good, you don’t have to be in the SEC, you can be out at Coastal Carolina…”

#ChantsUp

[Brendan Dougherty @Brendougherty]

If you want to be an elite infielder at the highest levels. Create a routine, dominate it EVERYDAY! Work Fast but controlled!!

[Matt Pepin @matthewpepin_]

Dean’s in-game Max Exit Velo has also made huge strides⬇️

23-2024: 104.4
24-2025: 108.3
25-2026: 110 (So far)🔥

Dean’s average game EV in 2023 was 75.1, this fall it sits at 96.0.

A prospect that needs to be on your radar 👀
