The job of a coach.
“My job is to always be opposite at the moment.”
Calm when chaos comes.
Confident when doubt creeps in.
Demanding when standards slip.
Encouraging when confidence drops.
Patient when frustration grows.
Give your team what the moment needs.

This is so freaking good
Never heard it put like this
“My job is to be opposite the moment”

Josiah Hartshorn solo BLAST 💥
The Cubs No. 1 prospect rockets his 10th homer of the season at High-A.
He has a case for the biggest breakout prospect in the minors 👀

Ponder this…
Many HS players have hopes/dreams/goals of one day becoming a Division I starting shortstop.
But stop for a moment and consider the odds (rough estimate). It takes way more than hopes and wishes to earn one of these 300 coveted starting spots….
Each year, there are approximately 473,000 varsity high school baseball players.
Then multiply that across 6 graduating HS classes (currently 6 classes of HS players make up a D1 roster with redshirts, etc)…
That’s nearly 3 million players chasing just 300 Division I starting shortstop jobs.
That’s roughly 1 in 9,500.
Note… The takeaway isn’t that it’s impossible.
*** The takeaway is … that average effort won’t beat extraordinary odds. If you want extraordinary results, you have to separate yourself every single day.
Train with purpose. Practice with intent. Do the work when no one is watching. The odds are stacked against you. Your work ethic is your chance to change those odds.
Get to work with a process and a quality plan. Leave no stone unturned in your training. First… Do simple better and then continue to add to your tool box! Dare to be different… because you will have to be.

Josiah Hartshorn 📈
It's hard to find a hole in his offensive game.
The @Cubs OF now ranks as their No. 1 prospect and No. 29 in our Top 100.

The #1 hitter in the Cubs system

I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1.
Opening Day at UCLA?
I was sitting the bench. 😭
I had 2 choices:
1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches
OR
2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable.
So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench.
I showed up early.
Stayed late.
Cheered for my teammates.
Dragged the field every 3rd inning.
Meanwhile, I studied the team.
The middle infielders were doing well.
Third base wasn’t.
So I told the coaches:
“I can play third.”
Then I noticed something else:
Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out.
I saw the gap.
If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team…
I could create value.
Then we played Miami.
The starting third baseman was hitting .115.
They gave me a shot.
I went 2 for 3 with a walk.
Played solid defense.
Brought energy.
I never sat the bench again.
Eventually, I became team captain…
and we were ranked #1 in the country.
One thing baseball taught me:
Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player.
Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.

Kid showed up 10 minutes late to practice last Thursday.
Freshman.
Third week on the team.
Still learning how everything works.
I didn't say anything.
Just moved the practice forward without him.
He jogged up, quiet, and slid into the back of the group.
Everyone kept moving.
During the cool-down, I saw two of our leaders pull him aside by the fence.
Couldn't hear what they said.
Didn't need to.
Just watched them talk — calm, serious, no raised voices.
The kid nodding.
Listening.
Thursday afternoon, 4:47 PM, my phone buzzes:
"Won't happen again, Coach. My bad."
I never tell new coaches this is what's possible because they don't believe me.
They think you have to enforce everything.
Make the call on every situation.
Be the one who holds the line.
But when your architecture is clear — when everyone understands what the goal demands — the team regulates itself.
Those leaders weren't doing me a favor.
They were protecting something they built.
I don't police alignment.
The standard does.

On @ParadigmPDS reports, stars indicate whiffs. Blue zones are attack zones.
This was run on a Power 4 arm season report. Look at the clusters of whiffs over the attack zones. Take the guess work out. paradigmpds.com
