JUST IN: Mississippi State lands another reliever out of the portal as Memphis closer Carson Fair tells @State_1878 he is transferring to State.

After garnering 10 saves with the Tigers, he brings that experience to MSU.

Year 1 (school year) is done in Dyersburg. Can’t wait to keep presenting showcasing this college athletics program, community, and athletes!

Here’s a few of my favorites from the season. (That I actually have saved)

Saying stuff just to say stuff. Coaching is timing. Know when to say it and when to shhhhhhh.

[Butch Chaffin 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚾️⚾️🧢 @ButchBaseball29]

Swing at strikes, take balls. Don’t chase the zone. Congrats… you are now one of the best hitting coaches on the planet. Shut up, throw the BP, watch, and shut up some more. Good hitters have a shot of organizing things if you give them a chance.

3rd base coach:
“Let’s go! Get a good pitch to hit!”
1st base coach:
“Let the ball travel!”
Dad:
“Remember to keep your weight back!”
Grandpa:
“Get that runner over!”
Little bro:
“Hit a bomb!”
Dugout:
“Don’t lunge!”
“Stay thru the baseball!”
“Stay short to the ball!”
“Watch for the 1st pitch curveball!”
“Sit fastball!”

Hitter thoughts:
You gotta block out the noise, have extreme focus, control the pressure and anxiety, have your plan and compete.

Just writing this gave me anxiety, imagine what that young ballplayer is going through in the moment the next time you want to start barking out instructions on how to hit! 🤐

[Patrick Jones @pjonesbaseball]

I had a conversation with a Power 4 college coach who’s been doing this for 25+ years.

We were talking about the mentality of high school players during the recruiting process.

Here’s what he told me:

“What these kids don’t realize is…

I don’t care how many followers you have.
I don’t care how many home runs you hit in travel ball.
I don’t care how many offers you have.
I don’t care about your ranking.
I don’t care how hard you can hit a ball.
I don’t care about your metrics.

The only thing I care about is this:

Are you going to produce in between those white lines when we play this season?”

Then he said something else that hit:

“They’ve been so protected that the first time they fail, they quit… or they transfer.”

And here’s the part that matters.

The biggest development mistake I see?

Players don’t plan for failure.

They plan for success.
They visualize success.
They expect success.

But they don’t prepare for 0-4.
They don’t prepare for getting booed.
They don’t prepare for sitting the bench.
They don’t prepare for struggling for 3 weeks.

So when it happens — and it will — they panic.

Instead of executing a pre-made plan, they try to create one while emotional.

That never works.

Failure is coming.

The question is:
Did you already decide how you’re going to handle it?
