I watch a lot of HS and Travel Baseball and here’s what gets evaluated that most players/coaches/understand:

1. Catch Play - how do you treat “getting loose” before a game? Is there meaning to it or are you just throwing to throw….

2. Ground Balls between innings - 7-3-21
7 inn, 3 GBs/inn, 21 reps/game. How do you treat those? How are your throws?

3. On Deck Reps - What are you doing to prepare for your AB? You have three responsibilities. 1. Time the Pitcher, 2. Communicate w/base runners 3. Relay location to hitter. You’re not there to “get loose”

4. Response to Failure - how do you respond to a Strikeout, an error, a bad call, giving up a bomb?

5. Communication - Are you talking between pitches, directing cutoffs, helping teammates w/ pitcher tendencies, etc.

6. Competitiveness In Non Game Situations sprinting on and off the field, backing up bases, prep steps, moving with hitters tendencies, does every pitch matter?

These are the aspects of the game that are often taken for granted but make a huge difference for your evaluation.

instant replay shouldn’t be able to be used for this kind of crap

[SNY @SNYtv]

Pete Crow-Armstrong is ruled out at second base after initially contacting second base and losing possession of the base.

Crow-Armstrong had initially advanced to second base on a walk.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell has been ejected.

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

i like this by Burns. doesn’t get worked up or pissed that the umpire called a late timeout, he just goes right at Soto and gets him OUT

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

Juan Soto steps out on Chase Burns...

And then Burns manhandles him.

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

Rodgers is the only one that can throw without running fully downhill

[Dov Kleiman @NFL_DovKleiman]

The Steelers quarterbacks performing the same drill together. What do you notice?

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

i’d rather this happen instead of getting my number retired. i’d be interested to see what they’d do for numbers ending in 0 or 5 and numbers above 49

The Steelers when it comes to drafting mid QBs just because they went to college in Pennsylvania

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

he should have asked who the head coach was going to be after week 5

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

Kenyon Sadiq thought he was getting prank called when the Jets told him they were picking him 😂

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

@JDayErrday with all the news coming out on Vrabel recently, this interaction gets funnier. maybe Patriots should have kept Mayo. 😂

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

@JDayErrday get out of my head

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

@corneliusomall @PaulPabst not disagreeing, but just a voice from the other angle. once the TOP TOP guys are taken, why take that next level of QB knowing that they will still be available later on? i’d take the best players at other positions after probably the first 8-10 QBs

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

just a reminder, these guys hired a Driveline guy as a hitting voice

the dip and rip over the back leg doesn’t work people, but for most it’ll be far too late before they realize it and they will be replaced

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

any player or young person who thinks this is “tuff” or the coach is just an “old head” and hates players, come back to this when your brain is properly matured and you’ll realize this is the exact behavior that probably got him kicked off the team anyways. bet it’s not 1st issue

[👉M-Û-R-Č-H👈 @TheEXECUTlONER_]

This High School baseball coach sounds like has his hands full. I feel for him. He kicked this senior off the baseball team.

Listen to the senior laugh and then try to degrade the coach.

When asked why he was kicked off he said the reason was they took him out of the game (for who knows what) and they didn’t speak to him about it. So, he got on his phone in the dugout and was texting with his mom telling her to not bother to come to the game. Everyone knows you aren’t to be on your phone in high school during a game.

Just by listening to the student and also the fact the coach had an officer present, I can tell what I already need to know. Sounds like the coach is trying to turn a program around.

Do you think the coach made the right decision? Context is everything I know, but listening to him, can’t you kind of gather what the issue is? Who thinks this is exactly what is wrong with our younger generation?

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

would you look at that, an umpire causing a problem that actually doesn’t exist??? who would have thought

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

Umpire thinks the manager is arguing the review, but he's just collecting his player's equipment

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

lol

[Fryedaddy/Frito @shegone03]

Is anyone teaching these guys how to play the damn game???

I like this kid Chandler Simpson but WTH is he doing???

Why is he stealing bases in 9th inning losing by 4 runs???

And please don’t tell me that’s his game!

When you are losing at every level of baseball you don’t take unnecessary risks on the bases PERIOD!!!

Lord help me!

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

i want to go Bonds, Griffey, Ichiro, but 3 lefties in a row isn’t my preference so I’ll swap Griffey for Trout

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Build your all-time outfield, but you can only spend $6.

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

if CFB career is all that matters, Chase, Devonta, Crabtree, Austin. no questions asked

[Cruz Oxenreider @TheRealCruzOx]

What 4 are you keeping?

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

ABS is getting confident with the “look at how awesome this thing is”

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

the ABS system said this pitch missed the strike zone by less than one thousandth of a millimeter

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

is anyone surprised we are suddenly getting all these super close calls all of a sudden? MLB is like “look at us, we have things that are so accurate it gets just a single lace in the zone”

i’m not buying this crap

[Bad Sports Refs @BadSportsRefs]

You make the call: should pitches that are 99.9%+ out of the zone like this be a strike?

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

old heads will still sit there and tell you that hitting isn’t as hard as kids these days make it

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

@TheRealCoach_JB i think adding 1 blocker would benefit both the offense and defense in this situation. almost looks more like a punt coverage drill

[Christian Cavaness @ckpcavaness8]

i know this is a persons opinion, but it’s objectively wrong in so many ways
