Bunt practice sucks. (My experience is watching a lot of it). You know what doesn’t suck? Walking off a 15 inning game because you are really good at bunting.

THBMB Talk

[Jonathan Lucroy @JLucroy20]

I talk about this with my guys all the time.
My HS kids are lectured daily on this.

My sons team played in an 8U tournament this past weekend. We tied first game on Saturday, and was shellacked 2nd game.

On Sunday we showed up in losers bracket, told the boys no chirping, no goofing off, let’s go out, compete, and see what happens.

We won first game, won second game (beat the team that smashed us the day before), and then faced a TikTok baseball team for the championship. Their kids had eye black, sliding mitts, pink cleats, and the flashy colored belts. All show.

We are a city league select team. This other team was a 2k/season travel team. At 8U. Wild if you ask me.

Anyway, we beat them.

Yes, they are 8. Yes, they got a gaudy, cheap rings.

My point is, teaching kids to compete and let their play do the talking is what separates the mediocre from the best.

We must have “necessary arrogance” when we take the field.

@nextlevelbb is correct. Find me a group of gritty, tough, and courageous players that don’t care what they look like or what expensive equipment they have and you will find winners. No talk, no show, just grind.

High level baseball people look for these characteristics when they scout players.

@cdotharrison They’ve got to start making these percentage based. That’s absurd.

Qwyn Williams (@YbnQwyn) fires off the ball with great leverage. Williams strikes with violence, locks out & knocks his block back. Ends up making the tackle! #StopTheRun #BRADDAHHOOD #GoBows

When coaches say, “The TE is going chip the DE to help the tackle”
this is what they hope for…

But this rarely ever happens 🤣

The Louisburg baseball team racked up postseason honors recently as the Wildcats were awarded 10 spots on the All-Frontier League team. Luke Schultz, Meade Rutherford, Jayce Toms and Max Amren were first team selections.

Fantastic senior season for the #KState commit ⚒️

The weight room may be the most fair place in the athletic world. No referees making bad calls. No selfish teammates. No coaches dictating the way. No one from the stands booing. You either simply get in there consistently & do the work or you don’t. And it shows either way.

DO YOUR JOB

[Jerry Weinstein @JWonCATCHING]

As a baseball player one choice you have total control over is the choice to run your “BEST SPEED.” When you do, you often force your opponent to play faster catch than they have trained for which leads to mistakes.
