UIL 3A-DI State Championship, @_LondonBaseball vs. Boyd, is Thursday at 4 p.m. at Dell Diamond. In Coastal Bend baseball history only 2 programs have defended their title, Sinton in (1988, 1989) and Robstown (1991, 1992). @SouthTexasHigh1@TxHS_Baseball

At the recent London baseball banquet, I learned the whole idea of giving me a reserved spot behind the plate originated with Christian Olivares. So when I went out to take down the sign to save it for next year, I HAD to get a pic. Next time the sign goes up at the park, Chris will be attending school and playing ball in sunny Southern California. But I’ll save my final comments about him for later. There’s still work to do in 2027!!
HITTING ABSOLUTES
Balance
Rhythm
Separation
STAYING SQUARE - this is the missing piece in alot of instruction.
Your ability / inability to “stay square”
Went to a HS game yesterday. Had a D1 coach come meet me there to watch a kid.
During the game, the team’s catcher would sprint to his position every inning.
He’s an underclassman, the D1 coach wasn’t there for him, he is now on that coaches radar.
Some things preached at every level -
▪️sprint to your spot between innings
▪️show off your arm in between innings
▪️serious throws in the INF/OF and as a catcher
You can be 0-3 and still make an impression
