High school kids are traveling every summer for exposure but colleges are showing up less and less. Where are they?
Summer collegiate leagues. Scouting guys in the portal.
The entire high school “exposure” model is out-dated and broken. Yet business continues on as usual as if high school summer baseball is the ultimate exposure model.
The entire process for how a high school player moves into college baseball and has a chance to compete at various levels is not the same. Yet people are still going through the motions of yesteryear and will be tomorrows portal guys.
If only there was a way 🤔
This Tony Vitello post game presser on how to define success is fantastic. Worth watching for sure. Says he’d like to see everyone in Omaha for Father’s Day, but if you can’t make it there he’d recommend Cabo, Ibiza or Tulum.
If I was a D1 coach, and I was recruiting HS kids, I would have their strength coach on speed dial. If that kid isn’t in the weight room constantly, generally speaking, I would be ready to move on. Minimizes his chance to compete while he skips the gym because he’s basking in his .485 public school batting average.
Committed HS kids need to hear the cold, hard truth before it’s too late.
Andy Rooney landed on the beach of Normandy days after D-Day, 80 years ago today. In 2004, he shared a firsthand account of “a day unlike any other.”
“It’s hard for anyone who has been in a war to describe the terror of it to anyone who hasn’t,” he said. https://t.co/xknrIeLymT.
Never Forget when CC Sabathia needed to pitch 7 innings to earn a $500K incentive bonus but loyalty to his teammates was more important. CC Sabathia is a legend for this ⚾️💯

99 year-old American WWII Veteran Reid Clanton, from the 84th Infantry Division, returns to Omaha Beach.
He picks up the sand and says ‘there’s no blood in there.’
HERO! 🇺🇸
80 years ago today some of America’s best examples of bravery, patriotism, honor, and duty. Forever grateful for these men and their sacrifices.
We can never forget this day.
🚨 Coaching Tip : @CoachSheets3
• Grass-dirt-grass = 1st to 3rd
• The ball won’t get to the outfielder w/ enough time to throw you out.
• If you draw a throw to 3rd, the trail runner can advance to 2nd.
⭐️ Great baserunners don’t just wait to be told what to do all the time. Allow them to make aggressive decisions based on the guidelines you set.
Pulling up a lawn chair to watch your child’s rec practice is not really a thing.
Either drop your child off, or ask coach how you can help.
For youth, parents chillin on the sideline at practice is just a distraction.
KIRBY SMART ON BEING GREAT
"There's one way. The right way. The hard way. There are no shortcuts.
When the alarm goes off...if you wanna be a really good player, you're gonna get up & go to class.
You've gotta do something somebody else isn't willing to do."

Pitchers need to catch pop ups at times. Forget about “get out of the way & let an athlete catch it.”This was a two out play in the 9th inning of a tie game. Plug pitcher pops into your PFP program. Especially important on balls down the 3B line when you are in an over shift.
