We are all so sad that we lost one of our own last night Big Ro Coleman my brother best friend some one I could agree to disagree with and at the end of the day say I love ya man. Please say prayers for Little Ro and Jay and all the rest of us that loved Ro so much.
The minute you have self doubt or feel sorry for your self you are done as a hitter. Must be a dog when in the box all you think about is see it and hit it hard. When in practice do things right it will carry into the game. Be a dog hit it hard
To all players with a dream out there. I was never selected to an Area Code Perfect Game All American Game Under Armor Game USA Baseball Team. All I did was go out and play and dominate my day. Who am I

overall pic in 2021 MLB Draft. Way to show them Noah.
Always great when great things happen to kids you understand their identity and Kelenic. Goes 6 overall to Mets highest draft pick in Wisconsin History
Big congrats on
@TheRealGavinLux
on making
@Dodgers
opening day roster and starting 2nd baseman. No one would have been prouder Gavin than big Ro remember he is watching every AB saying come on Gav. have a great season
New big 10 tv deal 7 billion over next 7 years starting next year. Now no one can say Wisconsin can’t afford A Baseball Team. It’s about time to bring in back. Our state has more than enough great players to win for years. I know others have tried out we need to have a sit down.
Hey still one of the best pics I have. Big Ro in the middle of some high draft pics we have 2 1st rounder a 2nd rounder a 3rd rounder a 5th and 7th rounder a free agent signing and some great college players. Man do we all miss Big Ro
After 30 years Hitters will be expanding we are extremely excited to have the Upper Deck Cougars join our Family. They will now be Hitters South. Joe Tom Mark and the rest of players coaches and families we welcome all of you.
To all I am in fine health no issues of any kind. No need for some of our competitors saying that I am in poor health now that tryouts are coming up. Each year it is something at this time of year. RJ and Hitters will be around for years to come. Shame on you ones spreading rumor
Big congrats to
@OwenMiller8
on his call up to big leagues. Owen big Ro always said you would make it and Big Ro was not wrong very often. Owen what can we say buy way to make us all so proud
@Indians
are getting a good one.
Kid pitches in game sits 87-89 throws 40 pitches at 89 against a kid the three 4 pitches at 91 sat 85-87 was 85 in 4th. Kid sitting 87-89 was 89 in 6th and won the game 8-0. Kid that lost the game but threw 91 4 times gets all the love. That is what is wrong. The Win is it
Sorry but will not lie to a players parent just to have him come play. I know it not easy to play here nor is it easy to earn college money. I will always go to bed knowing I have lead them in the right direction. Sometimes the truth hurts. But recruitment age comes he is ready
Hard to believe how fast time flies 10 years ago signed papers to have this built. 100s of college players made as well as 48 draft pics and 6 big leaguers. Been fun let’s enjoy the ride for another 10. To all the staff and parents and players because of you we are all so proud.
Man it never gets old the sense of pride/relief happinesses tears to my eyes. When a player calls you telling you he has committed on a scholarship to play college baseball. All the ups and downs watching him bust his ass listen and learn. Just to hear the joy in his voice. Proud
Some time’s a couple of guys just make your day. A couple of big leaguers just stop by to say high.
@OwenMiller8
@rortvedt22
thanks for making us all so proud
Hey little little
@Ro1Coleman
is back in the house. On Big Ro’s birthday this kid comes in the door blessings for the next 10 years. This is the best thing to happen to me this year. Kid walks in says I want to be like Ro Coleman unreal day for me 😂😢😀
Our players do not throw the hardest run the fastest or hit the ball the hardest. But no one can deny that they play the game hard with the intent to win a baseball game. We practice with intent and enthusiasm to win each play. Commitment to team baseball they are winners
Big congrats to the most determined mentally tuff person I know my mom 81 years old still walks her round of golf 3 times a week still shovels her snow. Had a stroke in October battled back got her license to drive again today. Way to make us all so proud
I can honestly say our pitchers Velos and command have really gone up since we have stopped doing pull downs. Throwing mechanics long toss is where it’s at. Thank god for longtoss room
Always great when you get a text like this Got called up!!! Thanks my man! Started with you way to make us all so proud

for the donation our med ball wall is going up in our long toss room nothing better than Alums giving back and putting that money to use so our current guys can get better Hitters Family all working together for 1 cause to be great
We lost a great one last night. Super Dave Houtz. Jennifer’s dad and Betty’s husband. For years Dave worked our concession stand and gate at our tournaments. Next time you are in academy stop and just say high and give smile to Betty and Jennifer.
Ok after all the back and forth the only point I was trying to make is if a sophomore or freshmen are on the varsity team and not playing either put him on jv or freshmen teams or cut him. He cannot sit on bench and not play. This is not a Hitters or RJ thing it is what is right
How Fitting it is that Our 2022 White and Navy team will be playing in the Championship of THE BIG RO he has meant so much all the kids in this Grad Class. We all know he is watching fellas
There is always something special in kids that really compete I know they are young but when you succeed you should be happy 8 year old pitcher on our 10 year old team his first k of the year special
We know the Batter and Catcher Pretty well great to see both in the big leagues. Both played on the same team for a few years. Way to make us all so proud

@OwenMiller8
You have to be kidding me on some of the stuff on Twitter kid throws 85 gets his video and tweet. But he lost the game 10-0 guy that pitched against him was 82 and threw a 1 hit shutout. No bigger tool than the win fellas PLAY THE GAME TO WIN velo will come
@marvinfreeman84
What a great facility
@Bullpenevents
is now running Champions Park. But somethings never change. Gotta love when Motor City Hitdogs leave a mess for us to clean up. As Big Ro used to say you are never to good to clean up your own mess.
Over the next 12 Hours high school players will be here Some preparing for MLB Draft some making sure they are ready to begin college careers in 2021. Underclassmen working hard to keep college money others working hard to get it. Freshman learning what it means to be a Hitter
That time a year again when you here parents say if my son is not on varsity he is not playing. Parents those kids never make it let him play and prove himself that he can play. Besides that you are embarrassing your son.
Great night 2020 grad annual signing dinner special thanks to all the parents. Special thanks to Craig Counsell and Pierson Gibis for speaking at our banquet.
