Just witnessed a disgusting travel ball display this weekend.
Just got back from a 3 day tourney with my 9 year old.
Note: Travel ball frustrates me, but I have chosen to let him start younger than his brothers did because of the coaching he is getting, it's a JUCO coach that is teaching him a ton and puts players first over winning (although they are good).
I saw the following:
Team that won championship today pitched 2 kids over 90 each, one in semis and one in ship. Kid in ship was phenomenal, but who knows when his arm will give. Worst part, they each pitched 20-30 pitches day prior.
Another team (didn't even make playoffs) had one kid over 90 and one kid over 100 in a single game, and they both pitched one more time in the tourney.
Makes my blood boil, their futures are being stolen for plastic trophy's and meaningless medals.
Parents: if you have a coach like this, even if they win and teach your kid a lot...RUN, even if your kid is not the one pitching.
If your kid is the one pitching, shame on you too.
Tourneys need to move to pitch counts, not innings. The adults unfortunately can't be trusted.

Another blowout, quick mercy rule game for the W, on to the playoffs!
The last clip I played one play at QB and threw a completed pass right handed (I am left handed 😜)

Another W but a super fast mercy rule so I only got to play 10 snaps. It was super cool to see everyone get to play on my team in this game

Life lately.
Beckett — 9 tackles Friday night. That boy is working.
Pearson — 5 home runs as a college freshman. Loving his coaches, loving his teammates, loving the process. Proud doesn’t even cover it.
CorVive is growing. MLB players are already using our Hydrate and burning through it!
Had the opportunity to speak at the Lake Ridge baseball team and at the Prosper YMSL moms October meeting on nutrition. Getting to share this message with different communities is something I’m truly grateful for.
Been putting in a lot of work on Fouts Nutrition behind the scenes that you haven’t seen yet. More recipes, more resources, more ways to help your athlete fuel right. Can’t share everything just yet but it’s coming.
To everyone who has supported this journey thank you. It means everything to this family.
Stay tuned. The best is ahead.

I decided to play football 6 weeks ago, my first time ever. It's been a blast, here are some of my highlights from our last game.

At some point, baseball has to get back to valuing ballplayers and not just numbers on a screen. Give me the Freddie Freemans, the Buster Poseys, Hunter Pences, Pablo Sandovals, Michael Youngs, Ian Kinslers of the world. Guys who just flat out know how to play the game. Everyone wants to talk launch angle and exit velo, but what happened to valuing a quality at bat?” The 9-pitch battle that might end in an out, but forces a pitcher to show everything he’s got.
The guy who hits behind the runner, takes what’s given, or just refuses to give a pitcher an easy inning. Those at-bats might not look sexy in the box score, but they show up in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Some of these dudes could absolutely leave the yard too. That’s the point. They weren’t one-dimensional. Somewhere along the way, we confused measurable tools with knowing how to win baseball games.
I’m not against analytics or hitting the ball hard, but there is an art to winning that you can’t fully measure. We need more guys who know how to play baseball, not just hitters, not just athletes, ballplayers. And I promise you, those dudes never go out of style

4 of these guys played on the same team
The HS class of 2005 NorCal team was stacked. They also had a 5th big leaguer, David Cooper
Imagine playing a HS travel ball team that has more future big league starters than a top SEC team…

@NorCalBaseball and I kid around that if we truly had a “NorCal U” university that we would go pretty deep into the NCAA playoffs every year. This is an all-time group of guys that played full-time for us and I think these guys would do pretty well in the MLB playoffs in their prime @SStormCoach12 @angryg12 @NorCalUEvo

Bo Davidson
Making his MLB debut hitting in the 3 hole for the Giants.
No Perfect Game Ranking.
Never Drafted.
Did not play D1 baseball.
Juco Bandit.
Incredible job by the scout that signed him Paul Faulk.
Players
If you are relentless and genuinely outworking the competition.
Believe in yourself.

On Sunday without football I got to stay sharp on the diamond with @NorCalBlack sweeping our first DH of fall.

📌HS Football
Shoutout to the HS baseball guys who shut it down for the next several months to strap on the football gear and get after it. Best 4 years you don’t get back!
HS football develops character, toughness, discipline and leaders. Love these guys!
