@GeorgeFalkowski @baseball_80s So cool to see this

[Danny Sheaffer @SheafferDanny]

@SheafferDanny Found this photo from the 1988 schedule hard to believe the first three guys are gone

@GeorgeFalkowski Played a lot of games with Todd from 1981 through 1987 as many have said before me, he was a great teammate, sad day for sure

[Danny Sheaffer @SheafferDanny]

Great teammate, quality human being. I never met anyone who didn’t enjoy being his teammate and friend. Very sad

[Kevin Burrell @KevinBurrellMLB]

Heartbroken to learn of the passing of Todd Benzinger. Todd and I were roommates when we played professional baseball together in the minor leagues. I got to see up close the kind of man he was.

A tremendous teammate, and one of the kindest people I’ve known in this game. He made everyone around him better, and treated people with great respect. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and everyone who loved him. 🙏

🏆 2026 NJCAA Region 10 All-Defensive Team – First Base

I’m entering my third year of college baseball this spring, following a redshirt freshman season, and will be looking for the right 4-year program following the 2027 season.

I’m a physical, right-handed first baseman with college experience, proven production, and a strong work ethic. I’m ready to compete at a high level and make an impact at the next level.

I’m ready for the next opportunity.

Coaches — I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

👇TRUTH

[Kevin Burrell @KevinBurrellMLB]

A message from every professional baseball scout to every high school and college potential baseball prospect.

We're always watching!

EVERY. SINGLE. LOOK.

Pregame work. I/O. BP. Bullpens. Intrasquads. Scrimmages and regular season games. Every one of those is a look — and every look is being written down.

How you run to first base… or do you run to first base. How you move on the field and off the field. How you throw between innings. How you take BP when you think no scout is watching. How you execute pitches in a side session or between innings warming up. How you handle or process a poor at bat. Whether you’re coachable or whether you’re not. And how you treat your teammates.

First one on the field?

Last one off the field?

It’s ALL being noted.

All of it.

Get to the Big Leagues first—before trying to act like those in the TV league. You’re not.

Scouts aren't just evaluating your tools. We're evaluating everything: your habits, your effort, your work ethic, and your character. The player who gives effort every rep stands out — because so few do it consistently.

Newsflash…Scouts don’t care about your “ranking” or what publications write about you (positive or negative). Scouts don’t care how much NIL money you’re getting, or if you’re getting any at all. We’ll make our own evaluations and our own decisions.

Be intentional. Play hard. No matter the setting, the score, the competition or who's in the stands. When you don't, you're only hurting yourself, and you’re to blame.

There is not much you can control in this game — but the one thing you can control is your effort, your work ethic, and your hustle.

Because when you least expect it, someone is ALWAYS watching, and you never know which look is the one that matters.

Winners Win!

Make. Every. Look. Count.

Had a great time at the @gyardlegacy Eastern Scout Games. Great learning experience. I had a ton of fun in the process thank you @gyardlegacy for the opportunity. I had a 2 flat pop time with clean round of infield and liners to all fields during BP. @SheafferDanny @chriscapozzi5

[Danny Sheaffer @SheafferDanny]

@BradFors190565 @Buck Yes in Boston in 1987

[Danny Sheaffer @SheafferDanny]

Sorry about the quality of video, but it’s pretty cool to have the same game-winning home run off Lee Smith HOF called by Jack Buck and @Buck #Cardinals #Rockies any guesses on the “exit velocity”? Ha, we didn’t care,
