If you honestly believe that any of the violent 1,600 rioters that stormed the Capitol and beat cops with flagpoles and fire extinguishers on January 6th deserves ONE CENT of our hard-earned tax dollars, you are a DISGRACE and an asshole.

After getting a good look at the 2010 class for the first time, we are excited to release a pre season ranking for the 🇺🇸 2010 group. Like many before, this class is loaded with talent and should be super fun to watch and cover. Comment below who we missed.

Thank you Dad…

A few things my father did for me when I was younger that I’ll forever be grateful for:

• He was my number one fan and coach.
• My fondest memories are us at the local school practicing fielding, fly balls, him throwing batting practice and playing pepper.
• We threw regular bullpens in the back yard. He put a brick in the ground to act as a pitching rubber and made a strike zone out of a sheet of plywood with a piece of carpet hanging behind to stop the strikes.
• He kept track of my total pitches and total strikes and would track strike percentages.
• We would play “21” all the time. Head was 5 points, torso was 3 points and the lower body was 1 point. Had to get exactly 21 to win.
• When in High school we built a dirt mound in the back yard.
• He always made me take time off from throwing in the off season.
• He would put together a 8-10 week throwing plan every pre season to get me ready for tryouts (high school).
• He printed out motivating and inspiring quotes that I hung up on my bedroom walls.
• He “made” me do yard work and I’ll never forget digging out tree stumps with shovels, axes and pick axes.

My father didn’t grow up playing baseball. Everything he did and taught me was learned through reading and video (VHS). He ingrained in me the importance of command from day one. I’ll forever be grateful for the work ethic he instilled from a young age and the relentless support he (and of course my mother) gave me even through my difficult teenage years (off the field).

Thank you Dad!

Coaches, Coach Confidence!!
It's not that hard. Help them believe in themselves if you're looking to get the most out of them. When they play fearful because of what will happen if they make a mistake because of YOUR attitude, that's on you. Fix YOUR approach to help theirs.

💯 How you talk to kids matters!

[Matt Bomeisl @RealMattyBo]

Baseball kinda starts to suck around age 13-14.

It goes from this ultimate father/son sport. Where dads can coach their sons. Local friends. Car pools and sleep overs.

And then it starts to get really serious. Dads get vilified and eliminated from the sport. Rankings and college commitments and showcases creep in. Accolades and who’s better.

And a new type of player starts to thrive: players that love the grind and fall in love with the process of being good. The kids that played for Big League Chew and wanted to know if the hotel had a pool start to get eliminated. The kids that want to put work in start to get better.

And then later in high school, a new type of player thrives and moves on to the next level: players with tools, strength and something to offer that can impact the game when everyone is also a decently hard worker and can play. Simply making contact, and being able to make the routine plays and throw it across isn’t good enough anymore.

Players need to have 1 standout tool usually to keep playing. (Arm, speed, hit, power, defend). Parents usually miss the key word “stand out”.

I love going to practice with my 8yo and know I will miss this some day. S/O to all the parents going through the HS years and missing the younger years.

If you have any advice to offer - hit me up.
