@michael_schlact I played JV as JR in HS. 17yo HS grad. JUCO was the best decision of my life. Starting SS in Omaha 5 years later. Played pro ball for 11 years. Area Scout for 7. If you love the game it doesn't matter the level. Keep your head down and continue to work to get better.
ESPN+ and NCAA conference tournament baseball is a winner! This goes up there with March Madness in my book. Might be one of my new favorite weeks of the year.
I/O look at ‘28 SS Tyce Johnson of @LinfieldCS
Physical frame with aptitude for the position and plenty of arm strength. Son of former Big Leaguer.

@JoeDoyleMiLB I just thought about this yesterday. Re-Classing up to become a 2nd rounder??? Makes no sense. Not to mention they were not properly evaluated in the summer if they reclass late like most do. Go to school and now you have 3 years of college baseball instead of 2. Beat the CBA???

@Nationals prospects get on the board early against fellow first-rounder Liam Doyle in Spring Breakout:
The "I just learned this way to late" online hitting coach is wild. It's what makes everyone think that there is a "cheat code". In all honesty, you still wouldn't be a good hitter. Hitters hit! They find a way. Would your swing look better? Maybe. It doesn't mean you would hit.
@JoeDoyleMiLB I had Bibee stuffed as well. Just no time for him to get properly evaluated. In all honesty, he worked so hard during the pandemic to put on weight. That next year at Fullerton he had put on 20lbs and was more like the guy you see today.
Extremely proud BC! One of the hardest workers I've ever been around. It's been really cool to see him progress into the player/defender that he is. Praying for nothing but the best for him as he starts his journey to the show!
I caught up with Billy Carlson as he wrapped up his spring training day. He told me he’s heard great things about playing in Kannapolis from his teammates. What are the chances he is on the Cannon Ballers’ opening day roster?

@shegone03@MLB@PerfectGameUSA Had another kid post on SM his December bullpen with a 4 oz ball. He was LH. On the video he was 94-96. His 1st outing was in a MLK team camp. There were probably 30 scouts/xcheckers in attendance. His 1st pitch was 88. There were some mad scouts walking out after 3 pitches. 🤣
I played SS for coach Piraro on the 2000 CWS team. I thought I showed up on campus a good INF. I was mentally tough but maybe not the most skilled. My skill set definitely went to a new level under him, allowing me to play pro ball for 11 years. Thanks Coach! Congrats on the HOF!
