Trying to put this dream USA-DR matchup in perspective:
The projected lineups have combined for 52 All-Star Games, 32 Silver Sluggers, 11 Gold Gloves and 5 MVPs, all from players in their primes.
Of those 18 players, 17 cracked our latest Top 100. Fifteen are among the top 50.

The Guardians are finalizing a two-year minor-league deal with Ben Lively. He underwent Tommy John surgery last June. He’s at camp, with a locker and everything.

Whenever I ask a player what they’re looking for in a college, I’ll sometimes hear:
“Facilities.”
Facilities are like buying a new car.
The first few months feel great.
Everything’s shiny.
You feel “cool.”
Then six months go by…
And it’s just your car.
The feeling wears off.
And now you’re already looking at the next one.
But here’s the part most players miss:
The car isn’t what makes the experience.
The people riding in it do.
Facilities eventually become background noise.
Coaches, teammates, culture, and daily environment do not.
One of those gets old.
The other can shape who you become for the rest of your life.
So when you’re choosing a school, don’t just ask:
“Does this place look impressive?”
Ask:
Who am I being coached by every day?
Who am I competing with?
Who am I learning from when things aren’t going well?
Who am I becoming in this environment?
Because a cool car fades.
The right people can build you into the best version of yourself.

How important is scoring first in college baseball?
In 2025 teams who scored first won...
D1 Baseball: 65.6% of the time
D2 Baseball: 66.1% of the time
D3 Baseball: 66.6% of the time
NAIA Baseball: 66.4% of the time

Every player says “I want to play college baseball.”
Cool.
Show me:
Your last 7 days of sleep
Your last 7 days of calories
Your last 7 days of lifts
Your last 7 days of DMs to coaches
Your habits are recruiting you… or they’re not.

This one hits hard. One thing is for sure…. coaches, especially at the HS level and above, want to win. How do we do that? Play the best players. Not always the most physically skilled, but the best baseball players. There is a difference. And when the most physically skilled knows how to play baseball…. He is a dude!!!!!
If you’re not playing, it’s probably because you’re not good enough to play.
The amount of excuses as to why players aren’t getting playing time is getting crazier & crazier everyday ..
Why you think you’re not playing ..
“Politics”
“My coach doesn’t like me”
“His/her dad is the coach”
“I don’t have the right last name”
“My coach only plays favorites”
In reality, here’s why you’re not playing ..
•Someone is better than you
•You didn’t show up all summer
•You have an excuse for everything
•You’re late
•You can’t remember the plays
•You aren’t coachable
•You aren’t proving your value everyday in practice
Look in the mirror before you make excuses!

Great share…. Pressure is real. Big league superstars feel it too. Listen to Mookie talk about how he was battling his nerves at the end of the game. Big take away with the self talk and then refers to all the work put in on the back fields before the season paying off for his elite defense. Love it!

Exposure is a buzzword. Your 14 year old doesn’t need exposure he needs calories and the gym and a good instructor. You don’t need to expose that your kid runs a 7.5 and throws 73. Once he’s 16 or 17 make a list of 5-10 schools you’re interested in, has your desired major, and you can academically qualify for and make sure you play for a program who can call those schools to get them to show up. Everything you’ve been sold about exposure is bullshit. All the money you’re spending to travel all over the place for fake exposure is bullshit.

Infielders… don’t make simple hard. Meaning don’t throw on the run when the play does not call for it. Yes… be an athlete…. But every play does not require you to be on the run. And yes, fielding is primarily a one handed position. But there is a time when play calls for two hands. When the clock, speed of runner and type of ground ball dictates two hands in order to be efficient and increase odds of getting outs…
** ISSUE** There is a growing trend… not sure if it’s because of so many turf fields, or if players think it looks cool, but infielders are running through every ground ball, one handed, and throwing on the run…. WHEN ITS NOT NECESSARY. This absolutely makes routine plays more difficult. The game is hard enough on its own to add difficulty for no reason.
To be clear…. Playing INF is primarily one handed. And we do have to throw on the run in many circumstances. As well as throw from all arm slots…All of that better be in your tool box for when it’s needed. My point is you should also have in your tool box the ability to set up and field, or use a 4 step or six step pattern, and use two hands when needed. The goal is to keep the simple…. well… simple. And be able to make the difficult play as well. That is an infielder a coach can trust!
