IA HS baseball games are about to start. PITCHERS - when warming up for games lock in on location first and work your velocity into that. Too many guys get velo up and then try to figure out location. THAT IS BACKWARDS!! Location wins every time.
Attention: Big time pitching match up this Saturday night, 5pm at Waukee HS. 🔥TCU Commit Carter Baumler (91-94) 🔥vs 🔥Kansas State Commit Jackson Wentworth (88-89) 🔥
Congratulations to these guys that were able to be in attendance tonight at our signing event! Another congratulations goes out to the 20 other Iowa Sticks current 2024 commits!
Really proud that we are a part in each and everyone of your lives. Thank you to each and every one
