Want to help your team win?
Strive for a QAB ...quality at-bat... every time you step foot in the batter's box. Team goal: 15+ a game.
Stack QAB’s and win championships….
Spoiler: better pitch and play great defense too …. Then, with all 3 you win championships….

Any kid under 12 years old has no business playing travel ball.
Park league baseball needs to be brought back.
I don’t know how these parents aren’t tired of traveling every weekend and draining their wallet.
Take Johnny to the beach
What an outstanding career for these @baseball_hchs seniors. Wearing the HC on your chest carries responsibility, and @CannanClapp, @HarvilleRyder, @stanley_ean & @jc_shelby9 embodied the spirit of Tiger baseball from day one.
Young players - 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 is how you leave a legacy.
These guys right here…they’ve represented @baseball_hchs, our school, and our entire community with class all year.
Oh, and they’re not done yet. Keep hangin’ plaques, boys!

Huge win for the Tigers in the opening round of the region tournament behind a terrific start from senior ace @HarvilleRyder.
District 12-AAA @baseball_hchs Honors
We’re ᵘⁿofficially declaring that @baseball_hchs Head Coach @connor_creasy11 is the district Coach of the Year, and @ngaillard25 and @huntbeech are the District Assistant Coaches of the Year!
This group has been amazing this season!
Get your popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the @HarvilleRyder show. 🍿 2 innings in relief, 5 strikeouts…absolutely filthy stuff from the senior in the biggest moment of the season for @baseball_hchs.
As a hitting coach, I watched players come back to the dugout after making an out.
They'd look at me and ask, "What'd you see?"
I'd go through the mechanical stuff - back side collapse, front side energy, head came off the ball. Man, it was wearing me out!
Finally, I realized I needed to simplify.
So the next time a player came back asking what I saw, I just asked him: "Did you get a good pitch to hit?"
That usually stopped the conversation. Because if you don't "get a good pitch to hit," it's hard to get a hit.
This works in our lives too.
Whatever task I take on, I ask myself: Am I putting myself in position to succeed?
Did I eliminate distractions? Did I prepare? Did I practice? Am I ready to produce?
In life, your "good pitch to hit" probably isn't the same as mine.
That's the beauty of it all.
I've swung at some bad pitches in my life... so have you.
But one bad swing doesn't always end the at-bat.
Hitting is a lot like life.
It can be simple, but not easy.
⚡️ EARN IT BP ⚡️
To hit, you get your bunt rounds down. Example.. 👇
Round 1: 3/5 drag bunts in between cones.
☑️ get R1 BP
❌ miss out on R1 BP, if you don’t get 3/5 bunts down.
This is important because the athletes don’t get to HIT BP without getting A JOB DONE ✅
