So baseball fans what would you do in this situation??
• You going to use the glove to flip like I did❓
• Use the hand to flip?
• Overhand throw to 2nd?
• Abandon the double play and take the out at 1st
✅⚾️✅
Tell me your thoughts??

🚨Playing High School Baseball Isn’t Important Anymore!!!🚨
That’s what a lot of people are saying.
The thought is, you go to play summer ball- it’s where the best competition is.
You go to college camps- it’s where you will be seen.
You go to showcases to document your…
One of the best things I have heard from a coach is “My job is to find someone better than you. Your job, is to make sure I can’t. “ Might sound harsh but it’s true at most levels and in life.
I once asked an MLB pitcher how do you throw harder??
His answer… Have intent to throw harder.
That answer didn’t sink in at the time. I was like, what is this guy talking about. Give me some mechanical change, some lift, some thought process…
Nope you have to throw harder…
Good drill for me to feel stacked up on my backside.
Take a look at the back leg and how the muscle is engaged through the swing.
Not only that the balance.
I do a lot of split squats- love doing unilateral exercises- one I think it increases the degree of difficulty.
It…
Something was said to me last weekend by a coach, and it’s stuck in my head.
He said “ your not a third baseman or a short stop- your a baseball player and I love that!”
I’ll be honest in my entire time of playing ball I’ve MAYBE played the outfield 10 innings total.
But as…
1.9 -2.2 Percent of high school players get to play Division 1 Baseball.
The transfer portal as it is, will lower that number even more you will see fewer high school commits unless the transfer portal rules change.
If you are a high school player, you need to be doing…
Got this on August 1st.
If you don’t think grades matter, they absolutely do.
Don’t let your grades be a reason you don’t get to your school of choice.

The best advice I have received about the recruiting process.
Enjoy it. Soak it in, and realize how special it is to receive calls from recruiting coordinators and head coaches.
MY advice to you players would be work hard and walk in faith.

Went back and looked at some of the footage for last weekend.
We took fielding from every position in the infield. Why do you think that is??
Typically you either take fielding at SS if you are in infielder OR you go to your primary position.
I think sometimes we get locked…

Haven’t pitched in almost 2 years.
But when asked to come in to start against one of the better teams in the nation so we can save pitchers.

Temps were 104 that day! 6 1/3 pitched…
Food for thought.
Practicing one-hand short bat baseball drills can improve wrist strength, bat control, and hand-eye coordination. It also helps hitters focus on a compact swing, increasing the ability to make quick adjustments and connect with the ball more effectively during…

The TRUTH
The majority of kids that get their offer pulled, drank too much of their own Kool Aid, and stopped working hard enough. They became High School Big Leaguers and stopped doing what it takes. They became celebrities in their own minds. They took the bait and listened to…
Biggest thing before you start looking at mechanics or adjustments- ASK yourself, was I on time??? And was that a pitch I can drive??
Read that again…
Typically the thought goes to what did I do mechanically, when realistically if you were not on time or you are swinging at…
The pre pitch is something i’ve used for a while. When you have those long games and it’s hard to focus EVERY pitch, try this and see how it can keep you in the fight and locked in.
🔍 The Pre-Pitch Routine, with the hop, helps you establish a strong foundation for fielding. It…
I Played Short Stop pretty much all my life- But transitioned this year to 3rd.
Play SS as long as you can, if you are in the infield- It will teach you angles, you will get more balls hit to you for overall reps and because you need to know what everyone else is doing your…

Someone needs to hear this.
Stop bargaining with yourself.

Feeling good through this off season.
Worked on staying more compact, holding my lines a little better and rotating a little better.
Exit velocity has gone up as a result. Louder sounds coming off the bat and more consistent barrels.

At the end you will see why high school baseball will be some of the best baseball of your life.

Baseball is the game of failure…
Embrace it, it’s not a destination it’s just part of the journey that will make you better.

We are working velo shots aright at me, with heavy topspin.
Why because it’s hard.

Just one of those days where the ball is flying, the body is feeling good, and things are clicking.
I had a coach tell me this quote a while ago. I really liked it.
He said, “ take the good days and learn to stretch those out as long as you can more and more - and take those…
Highly recommend finding the best competition you can find.
It will expose the holes in your game, show you what you need to work on and what needs to be adjusted.
It also will test your mental skills.
How many times you see pretty swings in the cage when it’s easy- But…
Swing, swing, swing.
Good things will happen.
I think one of the best things I have locked into this year, is understanding not to press... The last at bat, the last swing, the last game doesn't define your RIGHT NOW...
Be where your feet are and take in the moment.
Much…
Fluid, never rushed.
Be balanced, be in control, secure the ball and send it.
So many times you go to a showcase or a camp and you see guys rushed through their movement and try to muscle a throw vs being smooth.
Be smooth, the results are visible.Not every throw is do or die
Varsity baseball as a sophomore at a large baseball high school is not an accident.
To anyone who is coming up behind me… put in a lot of work and sacrifice so you can position yourself to be able to make an impact and help your team when your number is called.

Know your numbers.
It helps put things into perspective.

Only 450,000 play high school baseball.

Don’t get caught up in the moment.
A lot of times people get caught up in that one play. Don’t forget to hunt the next out.

Is it ok to pull an outside pitch?
I say yes!
Do I try and work a outside pitch oppo always… but am I good with getting a little extra side tilt to pull the ball absolutely.

Not going to lie- it’s been a very fun year so far. Lots of things clicking.
Doubles are the norm and more triples than singles. Not a bad start!!

Put in the work. Eventually you will figure out what works for you. And what doesn’t.

If you read my post yesterday about umpire’s being human and on bang bang plays sometimes your going to get the call and sometimes it’s going to go the other way.

What would you do different??
Playing at 3rd today and here’s what I’m thinking.

Reasons to use wood.
1️⃣ Instant feedback in the hands. Bad hit, your going to feel it or snap the bat.
2️⃣ Instant feedback in the sound of the bat. A ball struck on the sweet spot will sound different than a ball struck off the neck or end. Very crisp sound.
3️⃣ Smaller…

Again I will say be a versatile player.
I have played short stop and third about 99.5 percent of the time I played baseball.
It doesn’t mean I don’t know how to play second ( like in this video ) or first base or the outfield.
