@nickstrong As a college coach these camps are only good for obtaining unbiased metrics. Here is the path. 1. You decide where you’d like to study/play. 2. Reach out to the coaching staff and make your interest known. 3. Share unbiased metrics with coach. 4. Coach engages or doesn’t
@baseballifer11 Great advice. As a college coach who has kids play ball in college currently…pre-puberty outcomes are irrelevant. Focus on development and enjoyment
@baseballifer11 I usually agree on your takes but not this one. In our conf (D3) rosters routinly hold 50 kids. 20-24 pitchers alone. More in the fall since some players are trying out and deserve a shot. In season travel rosters trim down to 38ish. We play DH 9 innings Weds Sat and Sunday
Happy heavenly birthday to our great friend and a friend to all that knew him.,,,,the late, great Billy Noss. We miss you at the park Bill. RIP great friend!
@sebbaseballss We had the same battle tonight. Opposing team yelling personal insults at our players. Our guys take the bait and start talking back. We end up chewing out one of our own for participating. The worst part is that it worked. Our ace pitchers had a bad inning and ran up total
@sebbaseballss This trend started in college and has trickled down. It’s a shame. And IMO takes away from the focus of the game for all parties involved…umps, players, fans…etc
@Bill_Michaels Pitching Mechanics have been advanced by Tom House (GOAT pitching coach) through the National Pitching Assoc. Also Tom’s Mustard app gives analytics to anyone with a cell phone.
@hittersbaseba11 It’s hard to say what is happening at practice. I have guys that we have on varsity for the ‘just in case’ scenario. Those kids swing down to JV periodically for game reps but they are also receiving many hours of instruction during practice. Varsity = win/ JV = development
