Couldn’t be more blessed and excited to announce that I have accepted a hitting coach position at Ave Maria University @GyreneBaseball.
Keep your eyes on the Gyrenes this year👀
PART 2 of my takeaways from the 2025 @ABCA1945 convention.

Here are my takeaways⬇️
On the way home from the @ABCA1945 convention and boy was it a good one.
Here’s my biggest take aways from the presentations and conversations I’ve had this weekend.
If you missed it as a coach, or are a player, take a read. You might just learn something ⬇️⬇️

#Twins 1B Alex Kirilloff’s production dropped significantly this season.
Despite limited at-bats due to injury, his OPS fell by 140 points, and his LD% dropped by 20%. What changed? Let’s dive in.
Once again here to tell you how important it is to prioritize bat speed in your training.
The game is not slowing down.
Be proactive before it’s too late.
Not only do you need to move the bat faster. You need to do so in game representative environments as often as possible

Good weekend went 3-4 in one of the games. Had a total of 7-R and 6- RBI. Hit 2 triples in the left center gap one of them scoring 2 in the bottom of the 7th to tie the game with one out. Also had a slash hit for two runs batted in. #baseball#uncommitted
Thanks, @digpitcher. Pretty cool to see my spring season compared to top Nor Cal hitters, adjusted for age, conference and (maybe) ballpark. 155 BaGS+
