Bittersweet day saying goodbye to some of the people I’ve been so close with over the last 2+ years.
But can’t express how excited I am for the next chapter. Fired up to be heading down this month to Waco to join the staff at

Ready to work.

I’ve never done this before, but we have a current Freshman player who was in a serious accident over this weekend and is in need of Prayer. People of Faith, if you could send up Prayers for him and our team at this time it would mean an awful lot. 🙏🏻
Just a reminder Kevin Pillar got drilled in the face by 95 breaking multiple bones and walked off the field and we just postponed an NBA game for 10 minutes for Lebron getting poked in the eye....
Excited to announce that I have accepted a job to become the Head Baseball Coach at SAU-Tech following the finish of this season. Can’t speak any higher of Ouachita and thank all the people/players enough for my time here and fired up to finish out this year on a high note!
Hands down best day of my coaching career. Got to see two guys I recruited here into Ouachita get Baptized by a Senior on the team and commit their life to the Lord. Beyond proud of these guys right here and their courage. Special day. Huge Congrats to Coop and Jax !
High School/College guys, there is a very simple place where everyone can go to throw harder, hit for more power, become more explosive and look better in a uniform to get recruited more.
Hardest part of all this is that it effects so many different people in it’s own way so much. From college seniors, uncommitted high school kids, uncommitted JUCO sophomores, volunteer coaches and full-time coaches whose life revolves around this game.
If I had one bit of advice to give any
#uncommitted
High School/JUCO player. Find someone who tells you the truth and what you need to be better at, not just what you want to hear. That goes for all sports.
Very exciting day! Over 15 months after being hired, finally got to see the entire group on the field at once. Fired up to watch these guys work over the Fall. 🚀
@SAUT_BSB
Super excited and Blessed to announce that I’ve accepted the Assistant coaching position over at Ouachita Baptist University and will be assisting with hitting and recruiting. Huge thanks to everyone who has helped along the way.

@OuachitaTigers
Finally have the guys back on campus and starting the tune up for January 31st! Fired up to see them come back in shape and get some swings in. Great first day back. 🐅🐅🐅

One of my favorite days each year. Glad to be able to get these guys down to campus to be a part of the first signing day for

Just created what will be the official Twitter page of the SAU-Tech baseball program. Will be used primarily for recruiting in getting the roster ready for 2022 and any other updates. Appreciate everyone who has reached out and supported. Feel free to share.

Couldn’t have drawn up a better day to go out and crush some baseballs! 13 days until we get to see these swings against someone else. 🐅🕑
(No ground balls were endorsed in this video)
If George W. can split the plate in two with a bulletproof vest on in front of the entire country, I don’t want to ever hear an excuse of why you can’t throw 3 strikes before 4 balls.
A summer to remember. Hard to beat this group of guys and this group of kids. Being lucky enough to have seen the start of
@AR_Sticks
to what it is now is hard to believe. Win or lose, wouldn’t trade these guys for anyone.
Already looking forward to Jupiter 🌊
Recruits: if I can offer any advice to you, if you hear a coach anti-recruit another program you need to run far away. Good coaches sell their program/staff and that’s it.
🌧 Rainy Day Thoughts 🌧
As much as we all love watching the ball fly, something that doesn’t get practiced enough is playing to your environment/weather. Early Spring, it’s going to be cold/rainy/windy with limited carry on the ball. Practice accordingly! Flatten. It. Out.
Officially booked to head back to the

convention this year in Nashville! Looking forward to catching back up with everyone and continuing to learn from some of the best.

Great day at the yard before Fall Break for
@OuachitaBSB
! Just under 20 hits and allowing only 1 run on the mound on one error through the first 13 innings. Fun to watch the hardwork paying off.

For everyone who reached out with Prayer and checked in with Luke, we are starting to get positive news coming from his rehab. Long road ahead but God is good! 🙏🏻

One of the biggest jumps I’ve seen within a Fall season. First bullpen was a bunch of 83-4’s and last bullpen topped at 91 with 2 other 90’s. No gimmicks, just work. 🚀

These stories are what make coaching worth it. Two of the first guys to take a chance on SAU-Tech and help bring in many other players are both heading on to Division 1 schools as sophomores. Couldn’t be happier for you two

Lost in translation: Sat for 8 innings, 11 consecutive balls, one at his chest and the other short hopped the plate, got the DVH green light and got THAT SWING off in front of 11k. Elite conviction
One of the coolest days I’ve been a part of. These guys got to see the field literally be built from the ground up with so many people putting time into it to get it ready to play on despite all the weather issues this year. Great crowd there to support as well 🚀
Big day for the Rockets as they win 10-0 in 7 innings allowing just 1 hit against Twin City Post Grad on the opening day at Pryce Robertson Park! 🚀
Jaden Woolbright - 4.0 ip. 1 hit. 0 ER.
2-3 2B and HR 💣

Not many better days all year for a coach than Signing Day. Getting to see the relief and excitement from the players and their family makes all the countless hours on the phone/in the car/in the stands worth it.
#NationalSigningDay
One of the best days of the year as a coach. Every guy/girl signing today should be proud of what they’ve accomplished. Especially in the year 2020. Never been a tougher year to get recruited.

Heart has hurt all day thinking about the time I got to spend around Court. Great kid who was as competitive and worked as hard as anyone I’ve been around bA kid who could light up any room with his energy. Prayer warriors, be with his family and loved ones. RIP Court 🙏🏻
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a member of our Buffs family. Courtland was a great teammate, friend and a gifted athlete. He played for ABC from 2016-19. Courtland’s smile and energy will forever be remembered by all who knew him. RIP Courtland.
Don’t think people are fully appreciating how good the state of the MLB is right now. We are witnessing a handful of ALL-TIME talents all at once. (Ohtani, Degrom, Trout, Tatis, Acuna, Soto, Vladdy Jr.)
probably bc the MLB may be the worst marketers in the history of the world.
Wanna congratulate one of my longtime buddies
@GrantBlack16
on having his Indy contract bought out by the Cardinals! Takes some special commitment to come back from an injury like that my man. You’ve come a long way from that big goofy dude from Newport. Good luck brother!

enough for helping me out with a new ride again. Anyone in the market for a new car over the holidays, I can tell you he makes things about as easy as possible.
