On the 12 day of a Coach’s Christmas, I gift you our preseason checklist. Always looking to add to this, so any ideas are welcome! Hope these documents have had a positive effect on the coaching community and you all have successful seasons!!
Merry Christmas!
@CoachB_ABCA
On the 6th day of A Coach’s Christmas, I give you our Catch Play Routine. It’s all on time and it makes for a very efficient warm-up!

On the 11th day of a Coach’s Christmas I gift you, our starting pitchers pregame prep…. Before you all start yelling, yes there is leeway, some may need longer but we’ve found this is a good amount for the majority of our guys…
On the 8th day of A Coach’s Christmas, I gift unto you our 35 pitch pen sequence. Mixes in runners on so we practice holds and looks; can run it on game mound and go live pickoffs as well. Gives pitcher freedom on pitch selection, which to me allows them to improve feel.
On the 5th day of a Coach’s Christmas I give you our hitter scout sheet! Has become very beneficial for defensive alignment and defending hit/run opportunities!
On the 7th day of Christmas I give you our bullpen types. Got this from the National clinic in Chicago a few years back and tweaked it a little. I truly believe it is a reason we have gotten consistently better pitching the last couple years!
@chuckbox1969
Coaching community has helped me along my journey so much that I want to give back, so I’ll be passing along a document each day until Christmas.
Day 1 - Individual Hitting Plans: We reviewed film with the guys and gave each player theirs before break. Helps them stay organized
The one night a year I’ll trade my knickers and stirrups in for slacks and a dress coat…. Daddy/Daughter Dance 2024… I’m going to miss these in a few years
Little late with this one but on the 4th Day of a Coach’s Christmas is a bullpen chart… I know virtual is the new world but a little paper pencil visual seems to help my guys!

On the 3rd day of A Coach’s Christmas, I give unto thee … our Grade Progress Check-In. We give these out 3x per semester between terms… allows for grade check reports and a player reflection which I think is key..

A true ambassador for our game, but when I think of
@ButchBaseball29
, I think of how much knowledge he was willing to share with the coaching community! I wouldn’t be the coach I am without his knowledge and wisdom! Thank you for being you coach!
Never clicked unfollow so quickly….this is absolute BS!
The amount of pride our guys feel when they put on that PR uniform makes comments like this laughable! There’s something about those spring time Friday nights….
Honored to be elected by my peers in one of the toughest baseball conferences in the state. This is all about the blood, sweat, and tears my guys have put in…. I just try to not screw it up!
NCHSAA board votes 18-0 to amend the JV baseball 2-hour time limit policy. It will now only apply when there is a JV/varsity double-header. It will not apply when there is only a JV game being played.
David Rodriguez (‘25 NC) has been all over the barrel here, going 3-3 with a 💣 and this triple. Short swing w/ easy strength at impact.

Until we meet again..
When you make the jump into coaching, you quickly learn it’s not a job but a lifestyle. You become entrenched in your players lives and impact them beyond your wildest dreams. These next few weeks will be tough, but looking for sunny skies on the other side

Long, lanky 2025! Upper 80s arm with dynamite off-speed! Only going to improve as he adds weight and more time in the weight room! Going to be a special dude!
Was a great weekend at FAC! We had lessons, team rentals, organizational workouts and a local athletic association running week 2 of their winter workouts. Hope to see more new faces at the facility this week!
