[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

So many players are preparing to be better frat boys than competitive baseball players and don't even know it.
So many believe they should be able to do what they want, when they want, how they want and are allergic to hard work, sacrifice and commitment.
It's what their parents have taught them.

Had a good freshman fall with @RSCCBaseball. Hit over .300 with 5 doubles and played some good defense behind the plate. Ready to have a good year with the guys this spring. Here is video I have gotten from the fall: @nextlevelbb @TNJUCOreport @TennesseeJuco

Want to know what a leader looks like? Watch George Springer in this World Series. Batting lead off and producing while playing through what seems to be a pretty bad knee injury.

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

It’s not a coincidence that the 2 teams in the World Series have elite catchers in Smith and Kirk. Catchers be leaders on the field and take your defense seriously.

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

Shohei Ohtani is the greatest player to ever step foot on a baseball field

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

The art of catchers blocking in the big leagues has disappeared. PUT A CHEST ON IT!

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

The home plate umpire in this game every time the pitcher needs a new ball

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

If you aren’t watching playoff baseball and aren’t paying attention to the situations in the game, you don’t want to be a great baseball player.

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a wheel play executed in the big leagues.

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

You are setting your team up for failure if you are having a guy make his big league debut in the postseason. @CleGuardians

[Cooper Samples @samples_cooper]

@CAPeterson2 Agreed, if the umpire can’t have help over the phone to make the call, you can’t either to decide if you want to challenge.

Thank you @nextlevelbb for an amazing 5 years of travel baseball. The amount of development and knowledge I have gained will take me far in baseball and life. I can’t thank you enough @Bobbysp23 for the past 2 summers.
