@11point7 Win the game you’re in

I will die on this hill. I will argue till I’m blue in the face. I will produce the data.

Participation in youth sports/activities is as important as many of the classes my kids take at school. Maybe more important.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Never understood H.S. coaches who ignore freshman or JV programs.

That’s the future of your varsity team.

Then they complain about no depth, culture, or players ready for varsity.

If you only coach varsity, you’re not building a program—you’re just coaching a team.

@AdamBarta1212 Brutally bad baseball look

@forward_human @coachzblair10 I agree, there is no perfect option, but give me challenging velocity and spin any day for high-level BP.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Honest Question -

How many high school coaches are overusing arms…

Because they lack pitching depth?
Haven’t developed it?
Or care more about wins than long-term health?

Running guys into the ground isn’t coaching—it’s concerning.

Thoughts?

Keep it a buck 10 with ya kid, you got lot to learn about being a better person. Idc about him getting hit, but the way you acted towards the ball boy when he is coming to bring you your shit is ridiculous. Take your shit off, hand it to the kid and take your sliding mitt. Don’t throw your shit down right at his feet and snatch the mitt out of his hands, he didn’t throw the ball at you. Clean it tf up man.

This is low key one of the funniest baseball videos ever

[MADS ⚾️ @mdestefano14]

Tim Hill just comes out almost every game, throws like 4 pitches with that Gumby-looking side arm, and gets out of the inning. Every. Single. Time.

@BaseballIQ_App Do not conflate a slow and early load with “front-foot down” early. 1 ≠ 2

[Ryan Brown @RyBro7]

Too many young hitters expand with 2 Ks in a defensive mindset in the name of fouling pitches off or creating weak contact. Be offensive.

[Ryan Brown @RyBro7]

Hitters: this is some of the best advice you’ll hear. With 2 Ks, you can and should still be offensive. Great team approach

[Thomas Brittle @CoachTBritt]

Monte is one of the best, if not THE best hitting guys that you can find. Anytime you see a video of him talking hitting. Check it out, you will always pick up something that could help you

@Roger774501171 He is not slept on, he’s actually perfectly rated,

[Ryan Brown @RyBro7]

@TheTruthFromBen Pretty hard disagree on this, one is to never embarrass a teammate on the field. Talk about it in the dugout

[𝐶𝑜𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑇𝑜𝑛𝑦 @CoachTonyAustin]

If you take strike 1 because you actually thought it was a ball.. ok

If you take strike 1 and never had any intention on swinging that’s a mindset..

Hitters hit!

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

Many hitters feel athletic + dangerous when they move more in their load.

Many hitters feel stiff + anxious when they do foot down early.

Go watch them play wiffle ball.

Bet they look athletic. Try to do that in game.

The game is a glorified wiffle ball game anyway.

We made the right person famous. Well done, Benito 🫶 #SuperBowl

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

The beginning of college baseball season is always hilarious because one day you’re fielding ground balls in a parking garage and having live AB’s in a basketball gym because your field is buried in ice and then it just goes okay guys tomorrow we open up with LSU. Go get em.
