Thank you @BlueJays .... Can’t wait to get to work.

Due to unforeseen circumstances with Eastern Michigan . I have re opened my recruitment . Current summer stats below .

So it begins.

Such a good post. It’s so weird how normalized this is in the travel ball world. You barely see guys in the MLB PLAYOFFS going 40 pitches and going back to back days. Why in the world should a 12 year old be doing it to win a USSSA tournament in November?

Travel Ball World 📢

I would much rather a Pitcher build up to throw 60 pitches on a Sat or Sunday

Instead of 30-40 Saturday and 30-40 Sunday

Idk why the latter has become so popular but those types of back to back workloads are incredibly rare even at the highest levels with fully mature men

Consolidate the Workloads!

You are the media now

@theStevenRuiz My bad Cardinals was a scramble (which he used to be way better at too) but saints run still stands

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

The videos in your article say they’ve been removed. You may be right but I’m definitely positive Jalen has used the zone read to stretch the edge, then plants foot in ground to get up field and create. (Saints 2021/Cardinals 2020). He used to be able to pull that off and now it’s not viable.

All Chipotle needs to do to save its share price is cut seed oils and introduce a breakfast burrito

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say a mainstream acknowledgement and rejection of seed oils and other ultra processed additives could cause a chain link reaction that would literally save the world.

[VanMan @Man_with_a_van]

Seed oils are cheap because they are subsidized by the government

Meat is expensive because there is an active war against it

One makes you strong, one makes you a perfect big pharma patient

An emotional RFK Jr cites the culprits of the chronic disease epidemic as...

- ultra processed food
- seed oils
- pesticides

“My kid doesn’t listen to me. Good luck”

Of course they don’t.

You tell them to work hard in the gym but haven’t picked up a weight in years.

You tell them to work on their craft but only have hobbies of golfing and weekend beers in the hotel lobby at tournaments

You tell them to clean up their diet and sleep but look like an ogre.

Don’t be a hypocrite.

If you’re able to, find a farmers market and support local farms.

More than likely will be better quality food than a typical grocery store.

Yes it may be more expensive, but it’s an investment into your body.

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

Struggling to feel the ground when you throw?

Try throwing on concrete! Your back leg will stay taller and your front leg will brace better. This feeling of the ground being strong underneath you is the feeling we’re searching for off of the mound.

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

I’m not sure if it’s possible to see any meaningful progress in anything unless you’re obsessed with the journey. Like so locked into the daily grind that you can’t see tomorrow.

Life becomes so much more purposeful when you’re in this zone.

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

@TheDrugMoney As someone who used to eat chipotle every day… Unfortunately now don’t know if I agree with “fresh ingredients”

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

@AaronRozek Seems obvious but probably 2 for reliever 6 for starter right?

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

@HardTruthSpoken @BBGreatMoments Yup! Truth is at big league level you have to do both. Most guys that throw upper 90’s also have very good command as well nowadays. George Kirby may be one of the best command pitchers of all time and he routinely hits 99 mph.

[Kyle Huckaby @huckabyy9]

Talked on the phone yesterday with one of our remote guys that’s pitching in a very competitive summer league right now.

He’s been dealing with a little bit of a walk problem and it’s probably the biggest limiting factor from him being a legit starter.

I asked him how much intention does he put on “hitting spots”? He said about 80%. He also said his main goal whenever he takes the mound is to limit walks.

This is the *don’t think about an elephant* self fulfilling prophecy! Focus on something too intensely (walks) and it will appear!

A lot of times the best hack here is to shift that focus on the hitter and stop thinking about yourself.

Beat the hitter with your best stuff. Challenge them. And if he beats you, beat the next guy and get your 3 outs.
