Congrats to former Rebel @lekas5 - who is being honored by the @FenwayBowl for his work in education. Nick also guided his Alma mater (East Providence) to a state championship last spring. #RebsFam
@swingTHENhit@RIRebels If you just help a kid develop the want to show up and work hard without a coach having to tell him to do so it’ll go a long way. Don’t really need to over complicate things. Baseballs way too hard to believe there is some quick fix out there
@swingTHENhit I know nothing about what travel ball/AAU teams teach. I just know that the model that @RIRebels used to develop over a dozen pro players had nothing to do with what drills we were doing. It was show up to the cage everyday and hit more than the kid next to you or you didn’t play
You’ve got to stop testing tee exit velocity. It means nothing and if a college coach uses that as a recruiting tool then they’re not qualified to recruit.
@tcash22 @_WILLDAWSON_ It’s almost like you have our phones tapped @tcash22 - And we were trying to find a spot for @_WILLDAWSON_ , but he’d probably be 3rd team BP guy, and 4th-team Fungo.. Solid bucket sitting guy though, and potential 1st or 2nd team 1B coach. Stay tuned.
While compiling the All-Time Rebels team, we realized that enough Rebels went on to play professional baseball to compile an entire lineup. Not bad for a team comprised of players primarily from RI... #RebsFam#RIBaseball#TheOriginal
