Yesterday I wrapped up my college baseball career as well as my playing career. I was reflecting on some things that I wish I knew coming into college or somethings that I would tell younger players interested in playing college baseball. So here they are in no particular order⬇️
Joe Mazzulla explained why he often credits others rather than himself. Worth a listen:
“I think being a D1 basketball player, you grow up with this sense of entitlement, as if the whole world revolves around you. And…if I wanted to be a better husband, a better father, a better coach, I had to get rid of that type of entitlement.”
Q @JackSimoneNBA
Excuse my ignorance on this. What year did we start letting 9 year olds take leads & steal bases? When we were 12 foot had to be on the base. Stealing at 9 years old & taking leads might be the dumbest thing to date I have seen on a baseball field at any level.
@EricCressey Eric, I was searching your feed for pre-game warmup tips/ideas for a high school pregame warmup. Do you have a suggestion on the order, or if anything should be added or removed? Jbands, jog, dynamic stretch static stretching, catch play? @jaegersports ideas as well?
Pros in the WBC get BABIED compared to kids grinding travel ball. WBC pool play caps at 65 pitches + 4 days rest after 50. Meanwhile, youth tourney arms routinely hit 95-105 in a day & sling multiple games/weekend.
Who’s REALLY protecting arms? 💀⚾ #ArmCare#PitchSmart#WBC
Time and time again, we see a very linear relationship between body weight and pitching velocity, particularly in amateur players. In other words, the most important piece of equipment in a pitcher's velocity program is usually a fork.
BASEBALL COACHES: Pitching Documents
I have taken a few documents + my own to create a pitch tracking system. This tracks in game stats: strike %, FPS %, % of each pitch including every count & more. If you have interest RT this & I will reach out on how to access this. Preview⬇️
