Senior @tripp5326 made history in 2026 by becoming the first @MGWrestling2 athlete to advance to the state finals two years in a row. His return from Tommy John surgery to do so makes him the 2026 Boys Comeback Award winner.
Coach your youth teams however you want.
Coach your HS teams however you want.
But if you want them to play at the next level, all position players need to: (thread 🧵)
1. Play really good catch. Not adequate catch, not good enough catch. Good teams play really good catch, it looks different, feels different. I’ll never understand why bad teams insist on treating it as an after thought.
2. Be able to hit linedrives on middle, middle fastballs & breaking balls. If you hit you won’t sit. You don’t need to be able to rake every down & away slider, or dotted fastball, but you will need to be able to hit mistakes.
3. Be able to get a bunt down. It can get you opportunities. The only people who say bunting is pointless can’t bunt or couldn’t bunt, or are done playing.
4. Understand their job on bunts & 1st/3rd situations.
5. Be able to execute a rundown in one throw. It ain’t that hard.
6. Hustle without being told. You’re not Ronald Acuna Jr, hustle until then.
7. Not throw a $h!t fit when they get out. Grow up. Guys who spike their stuff all the time just show they don’t understand the game.
8. Be aware enough to backup plays. Understand the game, be where you need to be.
9. Know how to lead off & read dirt balls effectively. If you’re not a racehorse that’s fine, but Clydesdales still need to advance on dirt balls.
10. Know how to work independently outside of team practice. You either want it or you don’t. Work accordingly.
🔥 @FagerliEinar had a lights out performance from the mound and the hot bats continued for the 16U Regional Team 🔥 16 hits overall for the 🐴’s.
