Pretty cool that 3 of our Pitchers have signed at one of the top JUCO programs in the country. Hopefully more to come soon Although they’ll all be playing for different teams they’ll always be our guys. @ChaseNewby3 @JacksonKranawe2 @DrewPestka

Here’s the next chapter of this story. So proud of this young man. He will no doubt make the most of this opportunity. This is the kind of thing that makes this all worth it.

[S.I. Bucs Baseball @sibucsbaseball]

Jackson Kranawetter. Kid is pretty special to me (they all are) Have coached him longer than almost anyone. Kid flat out competes and understands the game. Had to have a win today and he goes 6IP 7H 2R 2W 15K. Also 2-3, 2RBI. Has listened to every word and taken it to heart

[S.I. Bucs Baseball @sibucsbaseball]

College coaches need to take notice and give the kid a chance. FB-83 (+) Slider, good CB. @UNCOMMITTEDBSB @FlatgroundApp @birddogscout @JacksonKranawe2

[S.I. Bucs Baseball @sibucsbaseball]

I’m thankful for a group of parents who allowed their child to be coached and held accountable. Don’t think I had even 1 parent ever question us or call upset Probably why their kids are so easy to coach. Lot is success and more lessons learned Time and money well spent.

[S.I. Bucs Baseball @sibucsbaseball]

That’s a wrap. All good things come to an end and my experience with this group has been nothing but wonderful I love these guys and can’t wait to see them grow into great men. So thankful for the opportunity to coach them.

[S.I. Bucs Baseball @sibucsbaseball]

We’re still here 13-2 win this morning. Bracket play this afternoon. @peyjbit4 led the offensive attack going 3-4, 2RBI, 3B, T.Rushing 2-3, 2RBI, 3B, @Trey_Cole2 2-3, @BolinCade 2-3,2RBI, @RossRider21 2-4, RBI, #noexcuses

[Coach Marc Trudel @CoachTrudel]

Recruiting tip. Players should always come into the complex dressed/looking like a baseball player, and exit the same way. Arriving in shorts, dressing/undressing in dugout is not a good look. Remember, you are marketing a product!

Tough stretch for this group. Just found out than one of our players has been playing with a broken wrist for two weeks, another playing on a torn meniscus and another with a cartilage defect in his knee. Need to get them healed up. Tough kids! You can see why I love these guys!
