Coach Ammons

Former Assistant Coach @FDTCBaseball. HS History Teacher. I made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.

Being a parent has brought me to a realization. Phil Collins brought the heat in that Tarzan soundtrack in 99.

Ugly scene happening in college baseball right now after the draft.

Players being cut a week before arriving on campus due to expected draft picks not being selected.

Parents and players beware!

Go where you are wanted

Charlie Bussey III (@fmupatsbaseball, drafted in the 11th round by the Giants) is the fourth D2 player to be drafted.

CB III was the D2 Baseball Player of the Year, as he slashed .489/.604/.866 with 22 2Bs, 21 HRs, 77 RBI, and 40 SB.

Congrats Charlie!

This is one of the coolest things I can recall seeing live at a baseball game

[Brian @sportsmatters]

I remember after last year's Braves "effort" saying that Tim Hyers needed to go and being told, "oh, it's his first year," "he was a World Series hitting coach with the Rangers," and a bunch of other excuses.

It's year 2 and everyone in the lineup sucks. Now what?

[The College Baseball Show @CollegeBSBShow]

Dominic Santarelli is exactly what you’d expect at the MLB Draft Combine BP cage… violent, thunderous bat speed. Massive power. Seven balls north of 114 MPH for the @LSUbaseball commit.

Absolute legend in the Southeast. This man is what made a lot of us love the Braves as kids. It was such a privilege getting to watch games with him managing the team.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Matt Olson is having a monster year. Leads all of MLB in WAR, RBIs and runs, is atop the National League with 13 home runs and just hit a go-ahead homer to dead center off Andrés Muñoz. Atlanta has the best record in MLB in large part because of Olson.

Three-peat!

[Flo-Dar Tech Stingers Baseball @FDTCbaseball]

Stingers win 4-1 over Gaston in the semifinals of the Region 10 Tournament. We improve to 48-10 overall and advance to the Region 10 Championship Monday at 11am.

Sports is the most underrated talent development system in America.

- Harvard/NBER tracked 400,000 Ivy grads over 25 years. Athletes earned 3.4% more and reached more senior positions, even after controlling for school, major, and industry.

- Ohio State: Adults who played youth sports scored significantly higher on grit. Adults who quit scored lower.

- Gallup: 42% of former college athletes are “highly engaged” at work vs. 38% of non-athletes.

This is the thesis behind Texas Sports Academy. Sports develop winners in life, not just on the field

50 DOLLARS FOR A T SHIRT. Absurd

Introducing our NEW City Connect uniforms!

When the signal reached farther than ever before,
Atlanta’s team…became America’s Team.

Arriving April 9th at @BravesRetail 😎

[Coach Ammons @MattAmmons8]

I’m happy I got to share this opening day with my kids. Very appreciative that the game was on local channels here in SC for them to see it.

[Atlanta Braves @Braves]

It's good to be back 😎

2 plays away from taking the series. The energy the last 2 games is what us fans are used to. Let these guys be dudes and see what happens. Clean up the little things will turn this season.

[South Carolina Baseball @GamecockBSB]

That one felt good!
