Yesterday I completed Ironman 70.3 North Carolina on a wet, windy and, quite honestly, miserable day.
But the race wasn’t the hardest part. The hardest part was all the workouts I failed in the months leading up to it, and what that taught me as a coach.

The absolute man. I've never seen somebody give so much to others, players and coaches alike, while still putting in the work on his own career. Can't wait to see what you'll do next!
This is a post I’ve dreaded…. but it’s time. The last 3+ years have been difficult within my playing career, as I have fought consistent nerve issues since my head injury in ‘21. I find more joy in helping others vs. helping myself, and it’s time to do that full-time now.

Topped out at 94 later that season too 🤫
KBO and @Kiatigers RHP Yang-Soo Kim came to us sitting 87-89 with a lifetime PR of 91.
5 weeks later he was sitting 90-91 topping 92.6.

You can either run from your fears or lean into them
Great thread from @JoshHughGessner ⬇️
Fear 101
As baseball players, FEAR can be our biggest enemy.
Each one of us has a unique relationship to fear.
The way to overcome it?
To understand and develop tools to play through the fear.

Labor Day weekend means a late post but Free Agent RHP Conor Steinbaugh (@conorsteinbaugh) was dialled again in lives last Friday.
Most notably, he flashed his new slider we’ve been toying with as well as showing what his changeup can really do with a wStuff+ grade of 144
That’s a bad bad man @mitchn_22

Mitch Neunborn was at it again!

The @Phillies prospect tosses a five-inning, no-hit start for the second time in his last three outings for the @BlueClaws:
It's Friday which means it's time to post Conor Steinbaugh (@conorsteinbaugh) punching out the world in live ABs again.
30 pitches, 27 strikes and sitting 92 with his curveball up to 84. Nasty.

Your entire initial thread made it sound like you were saying that the US was the leader in Sports Science which simply isn't true.
The US is the leader in application of sports science in sports it invented and that's about it. My point, is that even when it's applied...
The point of this thread is not to point out that the US has a larger population or only the fact that we have access to more resources/money etc.
It’s the implementation of these variables together
I also heard multiple people say that the league was half foreign and wanted to dispel that myth

I don't know about this one...
US Population: 331.9m
DR Population: 11.12m
The fact that Dominican players account for 11% of all MLB players with that population discrepancy tells me that maybe we should be paying more attention to how they develop players.
5 reasons AMERICANS 🇺🇸 still dominate the Talent Pool for Professional Baseball:
You might’ve heard recently about how “half” the league is International players
But that is not true.
Here is why that narrative gets inflated, and what separates the U S of A from other countries talent wise:
(THREAD)
FA RHP Conor Steinbaugh (@conorsteinbaugh) was nasty again in live abs yesterday, punching out 7 of the 9 hitters he faced, inducing groundballs from the other two.
Somebody give this man a shot.
