Following an incredible career with @SWBaseball, standout Griffin Rardin (@RardinGriffin) committed to Shelton State Community College.

Just one year later, he's set to join the Alabama Crimson Tide, and he's prepping for Tuscaloosa like any other year - with his dad.

✅Michael Harpster Checks All the Boxes

RHP | East Tennessee State | 2026 MLB Draft Prospect
This guy is checking every major box scouts love to see:
Proven Performance — Reliable weekend starter with strong results in the SoCon
High Whiff Off-Speed — Elite spin on his breaking ball (peaked at 3,047 rpm at the Combine)
Repeatable Delivery — Smooth, athletic, and easy to repeat
Command — Shows the ability to throw strikes and locate
3-Pitch Mix — Fastball + sharp breaking ball + changeup
Plus the hidden gems:
Outlier spin on his FB
Good extension
Low release point on the fastball (creates tough angles)
High-upside arm with a chance to be a high-value pick on Day 2. The stuff plays, the delivery repeats, and the spin rates are special.
Who else is sleeping on Harpster?

Hot bat Bodine! 🔥

Caden Bodine's 18-game hitting streak is tied for the longest streak in @BGHotRods team history with Brandon Lowe (June 25-July 17, 2016). He's currently slashing .430/.484/.519 (34-for-79) with 4 2B, 1 HR, 21 RBI, and a 1.003 OPS!

Great question from @LeifSkodnick.

Kyle Branch is an easy kid to root for.

The worst hitter in the tournament by OPS, showed up to work everyday and finally broke through.

8 RBI’s in the championship series, 6 in game 3.

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an Athletic Director, you better learn quickly that if you don’t understand your school’s foundation is academics, you will constantly face internal struggles with teachers and other administrators.

At the same time, the best schools also understand that athletics is the front porch of the school. It is often the first thing prospective families see and experience.

When schools intentionally invest in both academics and athletics, everyone benefits. Strong academics build the mission of the school, while strong athletic programs build community, school pride, visibility, and relationships that extend far beyond the playing field.

The schools that truly excel are the ones that stop viewing academics and athletics as competing priorities and instead recognize that they are partners in creating an exceptional student experience.

Great schools don’t choose one over the other. They commit to both.

🚨 A MUST LISTEN for all amateur ballplayers wanting to play in college. Long but SO MUCH VALUE here!

Alabama HC Rob Vaughn on college baseball recruiting and the type of player you truly want in your program, no matter the level.

“Our job in college baseball, yes, it's to win games. Yes, it's to develop big leaguers, and yes, it's all the things that we all talk about in recruiting, but more than anything, it's to prepare these kids to be successful for whatever comes next. And man, as good as the talent is in this league, as good as the talent is on this team, not all of them are going to be career big leaguers, you know. And I think what makes Tyler Fay’s journey so awesome, is in a world that is inundated with particularly moms and dads that want your kid to cut and run when when they're not starting every day or they're not playing every day. You see at one end of the equation, you either get the parents are like, ‘Hey man, put your head down to work. We got to get better.’ And you get the parents that feed into the narrative, ‘man, they're not giving you a chance. You got to go. You got to leave.’ the thing about him that makes him so special is regardless of whether Tyler's a 20-year big league or not, that guy's going to be a smashing success in life because when things get hard, he doesn't cut and run. He's not sticking his hand out looking for the next easy way and who's going to pay me more. He’s the I'm going to put my head down. I'm going to work and I'm going to get better.”

Guys like him are the exact reason you believe in what you recruit. You believe in makeup, you better hunt makeup because that guy has that in spades. And that's why he deserves every ounce of what he's getting right now.”
