For all HS & College baseball prospects. This is spot on from Reds 1B Joey Votto. Couldn’t be more correct. If you cannot time up FB velo @ the higher levels in this game your baseball career won’t last long. As the ole saying goes “The key to hitting a cb-is not to miss the fb.”

As an MLB scout since the fall of 1991. It is more challenging and difficult today to find baseball players who are Winners. Elite Competitors. High Character Teammates. Leaders. Players that know ‘how’ to play the game and who are not afraid of failure. Be the change!

Pro baseball scouts are not looking for “perfection,” however we are looking for consistent “progress.” The game is based on failures. You will fail—so fail forward! • Pitch to Kill not to Wound! • Play the game fearlessly, aggressively, passionately and under control!

Absolutes of good, pure young hitters is their ability to “think hard up the middle” and “drive the ball” to opposite fields. They are way ahead of everyone else. Doubles will turn into HR’s. “Power and Pull” are the last to develop. Don’t teach launch, lift and pull first!!!

I recall scouting RHP Daniel Bard in HS in 2003 (20th round pick) then a (1st round pick) in 2006 UNC. Now, 19 years later, he is reaching his ceiling. The “present and future” scouting grades often take a lot of time to intersect. Be patient!

Anyone who tells you the MLB draft is easy when it comes to drafting players in the first round has no idea what they’re talking about. Case in point from ten yrs ago in the 2013 draft. Let it marinate awhile. Good luck to all my Scouting colleagues and organizations today.

Thinking about my father, as he passed away 1-year ago today—April 3, 2021. Thankful for the influence he had on my life throughout so many years ❤️

Took a moment to write this out yesterday. Jesus did not wing it day by day. He lived His life intentional. He had a clearly defined mission to complete the work He was sent here to do. That mission has not changed today. If we work His plan—His plan will work. #GoMakeDisciples

Pitchers, 93-95 mph = arm-strength. However pitching is location, deception and changing speeds. That's what you have to do to win, period!

So proud of my 2016,10th round draft pick. 694 milb games and 7 yrs grinding it out for this day. He doesn’t “like it or love it”—He “lives it!!” Congratulations on an amazing MLB debut. The first plyr in AL history to come off the bench in his MLB debut & reach base 4+ times.

Down 20lbs. Have drastically limited/cut out all sugar’s and carbs that I can. Smaller portion sizes. A more balanced & healthy eating lifestyle. Eating to live not living to eat.

If you are a HS or College coach, lead your players well. Be authentic. Let them into your life. Lead w/ high character, conduct & love. As a coach, you will impact more lives in one year than the average person will in a lifetime. A lot more is ‘caught’ than ‘taught.’

A word of encouragement today: Regardless of what you’re enduring. Remember: Your story isn’t over. Don’t put a period where God puts a comma. God will never waste your time and He will never waste your experiences. He is working in your waiting, and He is writing your story. 🖊️

Out of 100 people, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the life of the one who claims to be a Christian. Share God’s love and hope with every person, and if necessary, use words. A lighthouse blows no horn; it only shines.
