Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

You only get one November 5th, 2026 in your life. Go make the most of opportunity that God has given you.

Be where your feet are.

Be faithful in the little things.

Luke 16:10

[Trent Mongero @CoachMongero]

Baseball is not an equal opportunity sport. The best players play. Want more playing time? Get better.
Consistently barrel balls up in practice/scrimmages, improve your defense/arm strength, increase your strike throwing percentage with two quality pitches. Become the best choice.

Fall World Series Game 2:
The Valor strikes back defeating The Honey Badgers 9-3
.
A contagious offensive push led by Drew Dobberstein gave The Valor the edge in game 2. With the series tied at 1-1, both teams are looking to make a statement tomorrow!

Play Like It’s 1985!

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

The Brewers are being celebrated like they invented baseball.
They are doing things that have become unusual.
They have an old school tough manager who players love playing for.
They focus on basic easy to understand basic fundamentals.
They have a hitting coach that was an overachieving player for skill that played in the big leagues.
They hit the ball the other way.
They value putting the ball in play.
They adjust their approach based on situation and count.
They are not addicted to exit velocity and launch angle bullshit.
They bunt and steal bases.
They do not have selfish superstars that need to be treated like celebrities.

The Brewers simply play the game how it was meant to be played.

[Evangel Baseball @EU_Baseball]

Fall World Series Game 1:
The Honey Badgers defeat The Valor 3-2
.
A strong start from Brayden Epperhart laid the foundation for a hard fought win that went down to the wire! Great start to a great week!
