Coaches at a tournament are not watching the ball. They are watching what your son does between pitches, after an error, and when he thinks nobody is looking. That is the whole scouting report.

In 1968, Bob Gibson was never removed for another pitcher. Not once, all year. Including the World Series, he made 37 starts. He completed 31 of them. The other six, he was removed for a pinch-hitter

If you can’t lift 5-6x per week AND play 3-4 games per week… You aren’t ready for college baseball. This is your reality at that level. If that is too much for you, join a frat.

Sadly, many parents wouldn’t agree. Reason….in HS, little Johnny has to compete for a position. In travel, you pay for one. That’s the difference and most parents will never admit that.
I coach varsity H.S. baseball and travel ball… and I’d take H.S. baseball every single time. The school pride. The community. The rivalries. The pressure to win. The packed playoff games. Playing for your town. In my eyes H.S. baseball just means more.

This happens to most young kids. Please dear god, if you’re a good dude just coaching these kids so they can play LL or whatever, we appreciate you, but leave the kids alone when it comes to swing mechanics.
Unfortunately, Many hitting coaches these days are unknowingly teaching the natural adjustability and athleticism out of hitters in an attempt to create the perfect swing. If a hitter’s “swing” can’t adjust naturally and athletically, you’re making the hitter worse… even though they might “look better” off a tee or soft toss. #BaseballTruth

Two players strike out looking. One blames the umpire. The other is upset because he missed a fastball earlier in the at-bat he should’ve driven. One protects his ego. One improves. Which hitter are you?

“So basically, a bunch of dudes in St. Louis took their shirts off and started twirling them during a game. The team loved it, invited them back… and now shirtless guys are recreating it at baseball stadiums across America.”

Alright… time to go back to Busch #stlcards
Want to join the movement? 🚫👕 Starting tonight, the upper right field bleachers at Busch Stadium will become a dedicated high-energy fan section, inspired by the Tarps Off atmosphere fans have brought to the ballpark. Any fan in the ballpark, regardless of seat location, can join the fun. Shirts optional 😉

The “tarps off” crew made such an impression Friday night that #stlcards manager Oli Marmol bought a block of tickets for fans to fill the section the next two games. He even returned to social media for the first time in years. Safe to say the Cardinals noticed the energy @SFAClubBsbl. Here's my one-on-one with the manager⤵️ @KMOV | @MatrixMidwest

Physically weak players and their parents are usually frustrated and confused. The ceiling for the physically weak with perfect mechanics is still below average. Athleticism and strength solve a lot of problems.

“I'll do whatever I need to do to make sure they come every game.” Sounds like the shirtless fan section is here to stay 😅

The St. Louis Cardinals, a supposedly rebuilding team, have come out of thin air to be the most surprising and entertaining “bad” team in the league and I can’t enough of it. Chaim saved the organization.

Some hitters need to be more angry and have some fire. Some hitters need to be more relaxed and chill. Not everyone has to be the same, but no matter what, everyone has to compete the best way they know how! #BaseballTruth
