Swing mechanics work. Working on hand placement, posture, and stabilizing my front side. Not where I want to be yet but getting better each day. #baseball #HSBaseball

@CoachDavidKlein We are in the Chicagoland area and my sons 12u team has already adopted this approach. Took the top 5-7 teams in their age division and agreed to a home and home schedule. Cutting down on out town tournaments and competing against equal or higher level programs locally.

Bryce Harper’s homer set to Moneyball is amazing

[D Yates @squidog02]

@ChadLeistikow 100% wrong, Chad. Iowa’s red-zone execution is atrocious.

[D Yates @squidog02]

@jimmurp43523830 Just good being back with the ball field with some great guys, coach. First time I’ve roamed the OF with Jason Flach on the mound since 95’. Good times!
