โšพ๏ธ WHY NOT MASTER THIS? ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ Being ON TIME at the plate is a SKILL, not luck! Stop rushing the swing. Master your timing, control the barrel, and let the baseball travel. ๐Ÿ’ฅ Repetition builds consistency. ๐ŸŽฏ Train with purpose! #HittingWithRicks #BaseballHitting @CoachDRicks3

โ€˜30 SS/RHP Amani Tuiasosopo (WA) casually went 4-for-4 in a big matchup today with 3 singles & this triple (clip). High-level two-way talent, lots of power upside offensively. #UBCEast @PG_PacificNW @USAPrimeNat

Carter Hadnot (@Carterrrr7) is having an incredible start to the summer so far. Slashing .367/.524/.867 through 13 games, running an 84% contact rate. In-game power is showing up in a big way from the left side, feel for launch stands out, 3 HRs so far. Plus run times. I think it might be the best glove in the 2027 class with a 70-grade ceiling. Arm strength sounds like itโ€™s ticked up since last summer too. Profile trending upward ๐Ÿ“ˆ First-round upside.
