Beyond excited to share that I have accepted a role as the Baseball Professional Services Lead with @TruMediaSports ! This company has played a huge part in the day to day work I put in as a MiLB hitting coach the last 3 years and I couldn’t be happier to join their team!
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.
The sport of college baseball keeps growing. 🚀
And the people of college baseball are second to none. One of my favorite communities in all of sports.
Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate.

Had an absolute blast this week at the Men’s College World Series. Being able to work with the talented crews at ESPN in the booth providing data and research support was a new experience I am grateful to have!

Pressly has not given up an ER since:
