⚾🔥 COLLEGE COACHES ARE GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES ON THE PHYSICAL GUY!

Here's my opinion, and it might not be popular...

Too many college coaches don't trust their eyes when it comes to identifying GOOD BASEBALL PLAYERS.

It's EASY to spot the big, strong, athletic kid. The guy who looks great in a uniform, runs fast, and puts up impressive numbers at a showcase.

And don't get me wrong — PHYSICAL TOOLS ARE A HUGE PART OF THIS GAME.

But here's the problem...

LOOKING LIKE A BASEBALL PLAYER AND BEING A GOOD BASEBALL PLAYER ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

Can you actually HIT? Can you defend your position? Do you understand the game? Can you make adjustments? Can you execute when it matters?

Because eventually, everyone gets bigger, stronger, and faster. And when that happens, YOUR BASEBALL SKILLS BETTER BE ABLE TO BACK UP YOUR PHYSICAL TOOLS.

I've seen plenty of players who don't pass the eye test physically but can flat-out PLAY. And I've seen plenty of physical specimens who struggle when the game speeds up.

The best evaluators recognize BOTH.

💯 MY MESSAGE TO YOUNG PLAYERS:

Don't get caught up in how you look or what a radar gun says.

WORK ON YOUR CRAFT!

Become a better hitter. Become a better defender. Learn the game. Develop your instincts. Master the little things.

Because at some point, the tools alone won't be enough.

🔥 DON'T JUST LOOK THE PART. LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GAME!

@ReesePogue2030 up to 88 as a Freshman … with a heater averaging 17”+ and a sweeper with 15”+ … these TX guys are built different 🫡🔥@KWoodBaseball @michaeloros

High intent vs max intent. The difference is awareness. You've repeated the delivery enough that you can feel 95, 97 and 100% as three different things and pick one on purpose. Younger guys can't; it's full send or nothing.

Operating at 95 to 97 isn't holding back, it's the most precise version of you. 100 is where precision ends and you find out what's in the tank. Both have a place. Only one of them is where you are twice per week. #KeepGoing @mtabor22

Nate tore his UCL at 91-93. The best at Champion PT & @mikereinold equipped him for his comeback.

When we reconnected in March, he was ramping back up. April: 72-75. May: 82, then back to 80, and he texted me “you look up and it says 80 and you’re like that’s it.”

Every TJ guy goes through it. At 11.5 months I was 85-87 and felt like I was throwing 100, only to look up and be disappointed.

August: first pitch of the fall, 91. September: 91/92 in a scrimmage inning with 2 punchouts, 13 months out.

You did it Nate, You’re back. LFG!! #KeepGoing

If you are a young athlete with big dreams, watch tonight’s game. Not through the lens of a fan. But through the lens of living in that moment.

You don’t wake up and execute. You see it, you feel it, and your daily actions are calculated to bring it to life.

I am extremely proud of you @ShurtleffThomas. Plenty of times baseball told you no - and you said watch. You weathered storms with an understanding that even negative events are opportunities to grow. You’re now an Ivy League grad with a chance to chase your dreams. Go get it!!!
