There is not one scout around that believes major leaguers come from any one level and that’s it. If you have the ability and make up you will be found I promise you that. Go where your gonna be able to play and develop. Coach/program is what is important for amateur players!

Young pitchers, I saw one of the best pitching performances last night! 88-90 mixed up 4 pitches and didn’t throw with all of the effort I am seeing now days! Impressive outing and a pleasure to see. Carnival pitching for the gun, I’m out!!

Do not associate the east coast pro with any other event. It is by far the best event in the country run by the backbone of the game. Make no mistake about it.

Hey, I’m just sick of watching it. I want to see an athlete or average athlete compete with good mound presence and the ability to with stand a work load! All of this effort and shotgun delivery’s is not what the GAME of baseball is all about.

Max effort deliveries with big stuff doesn’t scare hitters. Controlled starter deliveries with big stuff. You have something there, it’s about heart and MAKEUP. I said it, MAKEUP!

Right now in this country we have an impeachment hearing, buzzers, storms and power outages, Can we just bring back the hit n run, safety squeeze and complete games by a pitcher? Just asking for a concerned American!

I have learned a lot from a lot of good baseball people. Greg Walker asked me several times, will this guy fight when he gets in the batters box? If he does he is the type of hitter you want! Think about that.

The scouting world is hurting today as we mourn the passing of former LA Dodgers scout, Lon Joyce. We are so blessed to have spent many days at the park with him. If we had a Mt. Rushmore for scouts in the Carolinas and GA, he would be on it. A true gentleman. He will be missed.

@nextlevelbb Shut it down in early sept. 70 to 75 innings tops. One day a week start. The number of pitches no more than 60 to 70 early and no more than 100 at anytime and it’s on the head coach. If he has high stress innings and throws more than 30 in anyone inning it should be his last.

Wondering how to receive high pitch? Watch slo-mo carefully & you’ll see his timing was off. If he jumped sooner, he would have been on way down, moving ball toward K-zone vs still going up moving ball away from K-zone. Gotta jump sooner on these high ones... 🤷‍♂️🤣
