Ben McDonald with a great story on failing on the biggest stage and bouncing back.
“I never failed at anything in my life…”
Then came the College World Series, a walk-off, an opposing coach talking trash and a punch in the gut he needed.
In partnership with @SportsForceBB we have created a new Platform to celebrate CO Baseball Players & have real conversations about college baseball recruiting.
In Episode 5/Part 1 of "The Colorado Baseball Player"

45 years ago today, Yale's Ron Darling & St. John's Frank Viola matched up in the greatest college pitching duel ever.
Both starters made it through 11 scoreless innings.
Darling didn't allow a hit until the 12th inning but St. Johns won 1-0.
If you and your team use GameChanger, look at this:
Your team’s:
• Total innings pitched.
• Total runs allowed.
• Total base on balls (BB) allowed.
Then go to the “advanced” stats and find the BBS (base on balls that scored).
This is a very telling and shocking stat for most. Walks are free bases and when walks come around and score, that’s a free run.
Find your total games played and divide your BBS number with it to see on average how many free runs you are giving away.
Walks happen, it’s part of the game but one of our main goals every game should be “ZERO WALKS!” The next questions for those with high walk numbers, how much are we practicing pitching? How much do we understand pitching as coaches? Do we have a plan? How well do our catchers and pitchers understand their positions? How much do we discuss the mental side of the game??
How different would your season be if you were able to cut that BBS stat in half??
1 unselfish AB
can win a game
1 high baseball IQ play
can win a game
1 hustle play
can win a game
1 great base running read
can win a game
….And it could be early in the game!
If you REALLY want to win, dominating the “minor” details leads to “major” W’s!
