Some great words for young players!

[Hayden Collins @Hayden_Collins8]

Yesterday I wrapped up my college baseball career as well as my playing career. I was reflecting on some things that I wish I knew coming into college or somethings that I would tell younger players interested in playing college baseball. So here they are in no particular order⬇️

[Garth Greer @garthgreer]

Great stuff here!

The Mound is the Mountain thoughts:
1.)
Catch Play and Why the Mound is Elevated.

I’ve always believed this:
The best pitchers are the best catch-play guys.
You want to know who can pitch?
Watch catch play.
Not radar guns.
Not spin rates.
Not bullpens.

Catch play.

Great stuff!

[3 Lefts Baseball | Coach Big Mike Fuchs @3leftsbaseball]

The Sound of a Losing Culture.

I hear it in the dugout during games. A player strikes out looking on a borderline pitch. He walks back to the bench tosses his bat and starts the script:

"Blue has a flight to catch," or "The sun was right in my eyes."

The coach nods just to stop the noise. The teammates shrug because they do it too.
But the standard of the program just dropped another inch.

You think you’re just "venting." Everyone else sees a player who is too soft to own his failure.

The 3 Lefts Mental Audit:

• The Excuse Subsidy: Every time you blame the umpire, the sun, or the mound you are paying a tax on your own development. If it’s someone else’s fault you don't have to fix anything. And if you don't fix anything you stay exactly where you are Average.
• The "Main Character" Delusion: The sun is hitting the pitcher’s eyes too. The umpire is missing calls for both sides. The game isn't out to get you it just doesn't care about you. Stop acting like the world is conspiring against your batting average.
• The Respect Gap: You want your teammates to trust you in the 7th inning. Then stop acting like a victim in the 2nd. Real leaders don't look for someone to blame they look for a way to adjust.

The game doesn't reward the player with the best reason It rewards the player who makes the most adjustments.

If you want to be treated like an elite ballplayer, start acting like one when things go wrong. High-level players don't have bad luck they have short memories and a plan for the next pitch.
Average players want the world to be fair.
Ballplayers realize the dirt is dirty and they keep digging anyway.
Stop auditioning for the victim role. Nobody is buying tickets to that show.

This is amazing! I love baseball.

Ondřej Satoria is a Czech electrician whose fastball barely tops 80 MPH.

Baseball took him from fields in Czechia to striking out Shohei Ohtani and becoming a celebrity in Japan.

Now, Japanese fans gave him a curtain call after pitching his final game.

So proud of this guy and the hard work he's put in to make this possible. We are so blessed that so many people have helped, coached, guided and discipled him through his life.

Love you bud, can't wait to see what the next chapter holds!

[Jack (John) Greer @JackGreer2026]

Blessed to announce that I will be continuing my academic and baseball career at @NewCollegeofFL

Thankful to my family, friends, coaches, and teammates for helping make this possible. Special thanks to @NeaseBaseball for an amazing four years.

Another @ABCA highlight was the main stage presentation from @CoachJordan2 on coaching catchers. He was another example of the excellence that @LSUbaseball has created in their program. A couple of takeaways:
1. Coach catchers to be leaders that put team first.
2. The drill packages were amazing, but most importantly, all focused on building the skills that impact games. Reverse engineer practice to efficiently create catchers ready to help your team win.

[Garth Greer @garthgreer]

One of the best main stage presentations I've seen at @abca1945 was @CoachSheets3. He told us about how to have "It" in building championship programs. It was a culmination of the consistent message that he has been sharing for years. A couple of my biggest takeaways...
1. We win and lose games days, weeks or months before they are played. Were we prepared properly?
2. Don't coach for the dog pile, coach for the people in the dog pile!

Bonus lesson - careful of text messages when you're speaking - comedy gold!

[Garth Greer @garthgreer]

Yes sir!!! Proud of this guy and the work he’s put in. @NCFBanyansBB got a DUDE!

The @TheFCATeam breakfast is a highlight of @abca1945 every year. @3strikes_AU crushed it as the speaker.
@TheFCATeam is a great partner for coaches, parents and players to share and deepen their faith!

Best part of the breakfast was meeting @CoachRonPolk.

[Garth Greer @garthgreer]

Processing @ABCA1945 and reviewing notes for big takeaways from the sessions. Started with @LSUCoachJ. Two things stood out:
1. The humility to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of his assistants and support team in a meaningful and personal way.
2. His intense focus on preparation. Saying things like "we were exhaustive in our preparation" and "we were undefeated in preparation."

My big takeaway...challenge and empower my team to win the game before the game.

The Hot Stoves at @ABCA1945 are a great opportunity to dig into to specialized areas. The catching hot stove is always a highlight. This year's was hosted by
@JWonCATCHING. While I have a ton of notes my two biggest takeaways were:
1. Each catcher is different, we need the techniques that help them be there best. No cookie cutter approaches here.
2. Jerry is INCREDIBLE. The epitome of a lifetime learning and willing to share so much knowledge. While all panelists were great, I want to be Jerry when I grow up!

Heading home for an amazing #ABCA2026 with @JackGreer2026. Thanks to all of the @ABCA1945 staff for all of their hard work.

Wheels up for #ABCA2026 with @JackGreer2026. Let’s go!!!!

[Jerry Weinstein @JWonCATCHING]

In the day it was 100% about pitching down in the SZ. If you elevated a FB it was always about getting the ball down ,especially down & away. The game is changing with the elevated FB becoming a bigger part of pitcher’s arsenals. A product of higher velocity & a better understanding of induced vertical break.

[Garth Greer @garthgreer]

@ABCA1945 🔥 LET’S GO!!!!!!!
