Never apologize for hitting a grand slam. The Padres will tell Tatis he should have taken a strike, and then tell him in arbitration he didn’t hit enough home runs...

How to get noticed: 1. Bust it down the line even when you know your going to be out 2. Take an extra base on dirt balls 3. Dive for a ball that you know you can’t get to. (You’d be surprised) 4. Hit a hustle double 5. Find barrels (doesn’t matter if they’re hits) Just play hard

I was watching college baseball this afternoon and my son kept jumping around and I didn’t know why...so i started to pay attention and realized he was getting a secondary lead like the runner on tv...you never know who’s watching...play the game hard, play the game right.

To the uncommitted kid...go wherever the hell you want to go. If you want to go D1 go D1. If you want to go Juco, do that! Bc at the end of the day, it’s your life. When your running sprints at 6am you don’t want to be thinking..”why did I listen to that guy on twitter!?”

Can anyone explain to me why teams draft someone who is clearly not going to sign in round 35-40 instead of taking a shot on a college senior who would sign for nothing? Im actually looking for an answer here so if anyone knows let me know.

One thing I love about college baseball...it’s your last chance to really be a part of something bigger than yourself! Minor league ball is all about personally doing well so you get moved up. College ball, you put it all on the line to represent your school. #AxeEm

To all the hitters out there...stay out of your own head. The best hitting coach I ever had told me, “hitters always hit”...you may slump for a couple games, but hitters always hit. Stay out of your own head, listen to coaching, and hit your way out of it. #AxeEm
