6 Straight State Championships. They beat the #1 team in the country. There isn't better program. There isn't better coaching. PROUD STONEMAN DOUGLAS ALUMNI. Congrats @coachFitz17.
CBU 2027 Scout Team McCoy - @JarodFlowers27 Util, huge hit to send his team to states. 2027 starting on arguably the most talented team in the country. Tremendous athlete with feel for the barrel. @CBU_FL@BBA_Teams@Mazarooski
Ja’Rod Flowers delivered the go-ahead single and Romy DeCenzo secured the save in Trinity Christian’s 5-3 comeback win to advance to the final 4! @AthleticsTca@JarodFlowers27@RomyDecenzo
Another great swing by one of the best 2027 uncommitted OF in the state. This was off a projected 1st rounder. Exited to have him with CBU 2027 Scout Team McCoy. @CBU_FL

Another uncommitted 90+ arm that has some really nasty run for 2027 CBU McCoy Scout team. @Austinsmith2027 Ground ball machine that’s going to break a lot of bats this summer.
High school season going well so far 💪. About 1 year post TJ and feeling good on the mound. Here are some clips attached.

CBU Scout Team McCoy - Going to have one of the best 2027 uncommitted staffs in the country this summer. @jaegerbedford Fast shoulder and ball jumps out of his hand with plus command of all his pitches. @CBU_FL

@CoachSwit If I have it on the roster, I put a guy that can hit the ball out of the park in the 8 hole and live with strikeouts. 7 and 9 cannot strikeout and have to elite defensively or can run.
My middle son, Ryan, was a skinny 9th grader with a weak arm and virtually no bat
62 mph pulldown
His best swings barely cleared the infield
And he was deceptively slow
He tried out the for the JV team at our high school as a second baseman
His older brother had starred at the same school and was now playing in college
To my knowledge, no one had ever been cut from the JV team
Ryan was cut from the JV team
That night we watched Rudy
My idea
I expected a pity party
Instead, he looks at me and says:
“Dad… we screwed up the position. You know how to train pitchers. Next year I’m not trying out for JV. I’m MAKING VARSITY… as a pitcher.”
I did a double take
Swallowed hard
“Sure, Ry. But that means you work. Every. Single. Day.”
I figured it would last a week
It lasted a year
He lived at The ARMory
Every night
Like a man possessed
He gained 20 pounds (up to 145)
Fastball to 75
Added a changeup
And showed a crazy, unanticipated knack for living in the strike zone
He tried out for Varsity as a pitcher
He made the team
And never played
All season: clean pants, empty stat line
Last game of the year, bases loaded, 2 outs
He finally gets in… to pinch run at first
One pitch
Routine ground ball
Force out at second
Season over
Next year, his velo is up to 82
The staff is loaded
Three weeks left in the season… still hasn’t thrown a pitch
Then comes the promise
Soft opponent on the schedule
Coach says, “Ryan’s starting.”
I clear my calendar
4 pm, my phone rings
“Hey bud, you ready? You nervous?”
“I’m excited… but I’m not nervous.”
Pause
“Because I’m not pitching. Rex is pitching.”
My heart sinks
Rex?
We don’t have a Rex
I’m running through the roster in my head
“Who the heck is Rex?”
“Dad, you’re gonna love him.
Rex is 6’8” and throws 96.”
Ryan is 5’9” and tops at 82
Suddenly, Rex sounds like a better option
I get to the field right as the anthem ends
There’s no 6’8” dude
Just my 5’9” son, grinning
Ryan had invented an alter ego
That night, Rex took the ball
Same 82 mph fastball
Completely different presence
Rex walked like an ace
Breathed like an ace
Stared in like an ace
Attacked the zone like an ace
He refused to throw a ball
Groundout. Pop up. Groundout. Weak fly.
Over and over.
By the 5th inning it was 12–0
He had given up 1 hit
He punches out the last hitter
Game over on a mercy rule
The team dog piles him on the mound
Ryan (a.k.a. Rex) had just thrown a one-hit shutout
Same body
Same arm
Same 82 mph
Different identity
Everyone wants a new pitch, a new drill, a new program
Sometimes the unlock is simpler:
You don’t need a new body
You need a new alter ego
In baseball or in life
Name the version of you who attacks the zone
Then let him (or her) take the ball
Find your Rex
