Keller head coach Rob Stramp hoists the 6A D1 state championship. He is now retired after winning his first state title.
A fairytale ending to a storied career. 750+ wins. Started at Keller in 1998. Hasn’t missed playoffs since 2002.
Proposing a new rule for high school baseball…
If the pitchers hat falls off during a pitch once, that’s fine
If it happens twice, that’s a warning
After that, automatic walk to the batter every time it comes off
More than 10 times…automatic forfeit
Parents:
Your son doesn’t need a perfect baseball journey.
He needs adversity.
Bad games. Failure. Pressure. Disappointment.
That’s where confidence, toughness, and maturity are built.
Don’t rescue him from every hard moment.
HS Baseball Players ⚾️
I’ve been around this game a long time, and something’s changed...
We’re losing respect for the game.
• Chirping after every pitch.
• Celebrating routine plays like it’s Game 7
• Trying to embarrass opponents instead of beating them.
That’s not toughness. That’s insecurity. 💯
Somewhere along the way, being loud became more important than being good.
And the worst part? It’s being allowed.
When I came up…
• You showed up early.
• You handled your business.
• You played hard.
• You shut your mouth.
• If you had something to say…
you said it with performance.
• And if lines were ever crossed, the players took care of it.
The truth: 👇
• Baseball is hard.
• You’re going to fail.
• You’re going to struggle.
• The game doesn’t need more noise…
• It needs more respect.
• Nobody remembers who chirped.
• They remember who showed up.
• Who competed.
• Who handled adversity.
• Who left the game better than they found it.
Want to separate yourself?
Stop talking. Start working.
Respect the game.
