Daniel Jackson got a little choked up when receiving the Dick Howser Trophy.
He thanked his dad and stepmom and gave his little sister a shoutout. Also talked about his Georgia coaches and teammates.
Said Kolby Branch helped him tie his tie this morning 🥹
Leo Odom, RHP from @OleMissBSB, has been added to @ChathamAnglers roster: https://t.co/o0NjDtq3WS Odom struck out 12 and walked 2 while limited to 6 innings this spring. @coachad21
🚨 "Hitting is Offensive!"
Coach Jewitt - USC Hitting Coach
• Do damage - but stay within yourself
• Attack or be attacked, it's a choice!
⭐️ Step in ready to make it happen vs. trying to avoid a negative outcome.
Rett Johnson is the most exciting player in the Auburn Regional.
The @NCStateBaseball spark plug is batting .392/.498/.460 with an absurd ratio of 40 walks compared to just 15 strikeouts and 14 stolen bases ⚡

Mikey Ragusa, freshman RHP from @NCStateBaseball, is expected to join @ChathamAnglers this summer: https://t.co/7TgZMVACFq Ragusa has only pitched 5.2 innings this spring, has allowed just 1 ER and 1 hit, struck out 5 and walked 4. @Pack9News@JustinLcooke
Ethan Lund, 6'6" LHP from @OSUBaseball, is expected to join @ChathamAnglers this summer: https://t.co/hM9utC7ivE Lund has made 14 starts and is 5-1; 5.32 ERA with 119 K, 45 BB, a .219 OBA and 1.45 WHIP. He has already worked 71 innings so we'll see if he pitches this summer.
A big "Thank-you!" to @64Analytics for the shoutout and the bump in followers that came with it. Much appreciated! I don't expect to ever get close to where I was but I appreciate everyone who follows along as I try to make this worthwhile for you and myself.
Daniel Jackson is just one home run and one stolen base away from joining the exclusive 25-25 club. He would be only the 7th player in college baseball history to do so. Media propaganda will keep him from winning the Golden Spikes, but this is the best player in the country!
This is the case for most players, not just juco. The best D1 players are playing in the Cape or Northwoods league getting at bats, pitching, lifting, competing. Getting to campus 3 weeks early is not a difference maker; putting yourself in competition mode while working out hard and training will help you win a spot.
For those who want to take the summer off, don’t come calling for help when you get subtracted during winter exit meetings. Look at the data, look at the facts, don’t take our word for it. The guys you are competing against are playing AND lifting during the summer while you are doing nothing, on campus 3 weeks early, lifting (which you should already be doing) and taking an elective. Get with your school, get guiding principals, and execute; that will prove if you are ready to play at the next level or not. Facts of life, business and sports… spend your time wisely!!!
Thank you @nextlevelbb for starting this dialogue!
Infielder Isaiah Lane from @gsacsports champion @HIURoyals is expected to return to @ChathamAnglers this summer: https://t.co/5HLguHpA7h Lane batted .374 with a .517 OBP, 7 HR, 24 RBI and a 1.187 OPS. He took 25 walks and was HBP 9 times with just 14 K. 15-for-15 in steal att.
Jeff Bagwell -- Exit velocity and distance are for the fans. Hitting a ball 376 feet when the fence is 375 is great, but is it the best use of 570 at-bats out of 600? A focus on hitting for contact and getting on base is key, with homers being a bonus. #HittingTips
@tromblybaseball Keep going with this too where college players don’t like playing in the summer yet they want to play pro ball. Then some minor leaguers want to go home cause the season is too long, yet they want to be big leaguers. That being said there are outliers for every situation!
Today’s Batting Average on balls hit on the ground or on a line: .500
Today’s batting average on fly balls: .162 (one of those left the park).
You want success as a hitter. Learn to stay on top of the ball.
If you do that, and you get stronger and stronger the power will come, I promise you.
The @AuburnBaseball duo of RHP's Christian Chatterton (https://t.co/dQTF5vwaHs) and Justice de Jong (https://t.co/ckdm3fXERa) are expected to join @ChathamAnglers this summer. @diamonda
