It happened again.

An 11-year-old threw more than 160 pitches over a weekend because adults decided winning mattered more than arm care.

#Youth baseball has a responsibility to protect kids — not sacrifice their future for Sunday trophies.

High School parents chirping opposing players…

Grown adults yelling at kids from the stands.
If it’s between players, why are parents jumping in?
Let the kids handle. Parents Stop getting involved.

Tigers hold on for 3-2 win against WN. Nelia Kirichun leads the way w/2 hits, 3 stolen bases & 2 runs scored…along w/an OF assist to throw out a runner @ 3rd in 6th inn! Arnold was strong in ⭕️: only 3 hits allowed, 7 K’s, & squeeze bunt!

Step Through - Kick Through Drill

Love doing this feel and still with hitters do struggle with these issues:

- Falling back?
- Feeling stuck?
- Feel under and uphill?
- Feeling too far behind the ball?

[Nate Field @nrfield]

Something I wrote out for a nine year old youth hitter after a 90 min session.

Asking a kid that age to retain everything is a lot. I had him verbalized while I wrote and used his words so I know he knows it. I’d like to do this for players more often.

[WWS Tiger Softball @wwssoftball2026]

Thank you to @PrepBaseballIL @DrewLocascio for a great showcase! I had a great time meeting new people and updating some stats from the summer. Here are my best numbers. #classof2028 #uncommitted @BUncommitted @PB_Uncommitted @nrfield

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

11–14U parents talking about “exposure tournaments.”
Exposure to who? Who told you college coaches are recruiting middle school players?
11–14U isn’t for recruiting.
It’s for learning to throw strikes, barrel balls, and handle failure.

[Ryan Brauninger @R_Brauninger]

What are we doing? 😂

If my kid were on this list, I would contact these people and say, “Please remove my son from this graphic. Our family does not wish to be associated with stupidity of this level.”

Accountability goes a long ways.

🔥 Check out this Video

- Use 1 Hand as a infielder, allows more freedom and adjustability
- Be in a position to have adjustability with your lower half. Look at the position he gets into.
- Lastly always have your eyes engaged into the catch. Ball security

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

Some coaches talk a lot while also saying nothing.

The best coaches can talk very little yet say a lot..

No matter how 'smart' or 'wise' you are, how you communicate it is everything.

C Brady Dunnett (Oswego, 2027) barrels a ball back up the middle.
