I coach varsity H.S. baseball and travel ball… and I’d take H.S. baseball every single time. The school pride. The community. The rivalries. The pressure to win. The packed playoff games. Playing for your town. In my eyes H.S. baseball just means more.

Dear H.S. Hitters: Pitchers aren’t missing inside anymore. They’re living away because most of you can’t handle it. Everybody wants to pull HRs. Nobody wants to hit a hard single the other way. Learn to use the whole field. You can thank me later.
