I will be joining the cause to begin to bring @legionbaseball and Junior Legion Baseball back in this country. It’s time for teen age athletes to have a strong alternative. Playing the game for community and country ! The time has come to make this happen in parts of the country that want @legionbaseball in their community and state! If you are interested please DM your name and part of the country ! #baseball #legionbaseball
This is frustrating to watch. Agree with him 100%. But the college and pro coaches aren't trying to scout guys who "make a pitch" or really know how to pitch. It's always about velo. So kids do what gets rewarded. Tons of guys who don't get a shot who can really pitch.
J.J. Picollo, Royals GM, gives his elevator speech on the dire state of pitching, from Little League to MLB. It's everything baseball purists have been pounding their fist on the table about, in 55 seconds. #shegone (VC: @DigginDeepPod / @TheRealHos305)
