In honor of these two and the 4 awesome years they've given us, we're featuring them in our first game day post... And yes we know it's just a Hall of Fame Scrimmage, but we're a little excited to be back on the diamond 🥎
Firm believer that you don’t have to throw hard to be successful. Command pitches, use spin, understanding how your body works b4 using it at a speed your mind can’t follow. Once speed is developed & trained, you’ll be considered even more elite with all 3: spot spin & speed.
If all of your teammates...
- Communicated like you
- Encouraged like you
- Sacrificed like you
- Cared like you
- Worked like you
- Had the same attitude as you
- Treated each other like you do
... Would your team be better.... or worse?
“When you start reading about yourself and believing your own press clippings is when you start to fall . . . When you’re not hungry, you become average!” (Kirby Smart)
'Under pressure, you don't rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training.
That's why YOU train so hard
That's why YOU wake up early
That's why YOU stay late
That's why YOU do extra work
That's why YOU follow a routine
That's why YOU sacrifice
Preparation.
At one point, @ArizonaSoftball was 0-8 in Pac-12 play. Now they’re heading to Super Regionals. What a story. Props to the players and coaches for sticking with it through the tough times. It paid off.
Trout had five plate appearances yesterday and reached base in all five. Today he was 0-4 with four strikeouts. One of the best players in the world was amazing yesterday and not very good at all today. Adults, pleasure remember stuff like this when watching kids play the game.
Runner on 3rd base with less than 2 outs, you NEED to swing at the 1st HITTABLE PITCH!
No waiting! No digging yourself in a hole!
Preferably a pitch up in the zone which you can elevate to the middle of the field. ⚾️🔥💪🥎
