Honored to win the Lowery Award for the 2026 season. I want to thank God, my teammates, family, and coaches for helping me along the way. Really proud to end my high school career with this accomplishment.

I've played professional baseball.

I've coached collegiate baseball.

I've evaluated thousands of high school players over the last 12 years.

Here are a few baseball truths I've learned:

• Failure is inevitable. How you respond to it is a choice.
• The game rewards resilience far more than talent gives it credit for.
• Body language is visibly LOUD.
• You never know who's watching.
• Talent gets you noticed. Consistency gets you recruited.
• Nobody cares how good you were last week.
• The players who blame others rarely improve.
• Confidence comes from preparation, not motivation.
• The game owes you nothing.
• Coaches trust competitors before they trust tools.
• Your teammates know if you're real.
• Baseball has a funny way of exposing excuses.
• The best players are usually obsessed with improvement, not attention.
• Nobody remembers your excuses. They remember your actions.

Build your floor. Chase your ceiling. ⚾️

Red-hot Frankfort (22-7) punched its ticket to states with a 1-0 win over Moorefield (15-12) in the AA, Region II final yesterday.

Jaxon Hare walked it off, and Lanson Orndorf was a base hit off a perfect game.

Final/4: Frankfort 15, Philip Barbour 0

The Falcon machine keeps rolling. Their 13th win in 14 pushes them to 21-7.

Lanson Orndorf delivered an efficient 40-pitch no-hitter, one walk over the minimum.

Athletes: My best advice for this season?
Take ownership of your actions.
Help develop a “no excuse” team culture.
