Just watched a beautifully pitched high school game.
Chiles High School-Noah Chavez
South Walton High School-Denton Lord
Noah Chavez worked 8 scoreless.
Denton Lord worked 7 scoreless and exited the game.
Neither offense had a chance with these two guys on the mound.
Chavez and Lord couldn't be more different in styles and that's why baseball is such a great game.
Noah Chavez is a 5'10 RH'er that pitches mid 8's with plus pitchability, moxie and feel.
Denton Lord is a 6'8 RH'er who's been up to 97 and a potential early round pick.
Couldn't have been more impressed by both. Chavez will probably be a D1 All American during his career and Lord will probably pitch in the Big Leagues.

Ready Position.
Amazing how many players have poor pre pitch ready positions.
Guide for fielders.
When the pitchers land foot strikes ground.
Fielders glove hand foot should strike the ground with feet square ready to go either direction.
Rhythm and the ability to go north south east and west is the goal.
The goal is to get set on time. Not early. Not Late. Don't get caught with a foot in the air or feet not square when the ball enters the hitting zone.

@blakerreese @JLucroy20 @nextlevelbb That team had some horses!

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Lets be real and tell it like it is.
Real competitors are becoming harder and harder to find.
Vanity players that love showcases and convenient training are around every corner.
Nice kids get their scholarships taken.
Nice kids get released from pro ball.
A kid can be the best kid on the team. He can sit on the front row in class and make straight A's. He can be the student body president and a kid everyone wants to marry their daughter.
But.
He's on scholarship and maybe NIL money to be an impact baseball player. He's on scholarship and possibly NIL money to help the coaches, program and his teammates win baseball games. If he can't make an impact athletically, he will be shown the door.
It's supposed to be cruel, rude and nasty to allow the cream to rise to the top.
It's a competition and it's not for everyone.
Coaches want players with great makeup, but if you can't play, it doesn't matter to them.
Coaches want junk yard dogs that want to dominate the competition.
Coaches want dudes that can do it vs the equal and or better.
Coaches want dudes with moxie, feel, different gears and heightened awareness in game defining situations.
Coaches want players that take practice and games personal.
Coaches want players that are more concerned with competing than their mechanics, gear and sunglasses.
Coaches want players that want to be the difference between winning and losing. The players that want the ball or bat in their hand with the game on the line.
Want to be a better player?
Be a better competitor and you'll be a better player.
Be a better competitor in everything that you do.
Take everything personally, because it is.
Represent the name on the back of your jersey like the toughest, most competitive player on every team you're on.

Samford loses the series finale to Western Carolina 10-9 after this horrifyingly bad strike three call to Jeffrey Ince.

I mean this is ridiculous. Even the WCU pitcher and catcher are stunned.

3B Preston Ritchie ‘27 (FL)

5’8” 155 lbs.

Ritchie set the tone with two hits out of the leadoff spot. Short, compact swing and found the barrel consistently.

Tyler Martin gets on plane here to drive an 0-2 fastball over the high RF fence. All parts work together well & generates lots of whip. @FSUBaseball
