Jackie Robinson day has always been special to me. He gave African Americans like me the opportunity to do what we love. Thanks to my graveyard/outfield friends for helping me out with this #42

- Found these gems at my moms crib. Can’t wait to rock them today.
- I believe the best way for outfielders to work on line drives in a practice setting is this drill. Also love creating lefty slice so they are prepared for in game reads.
00:00 - No this isn’t baseball content but is more important than any sport. A young black male won’t be able to live out his dreams cuz he was exercising & was racially profiled. I won’t post the video of it because it is horrific but want to educate folks that this is still an issue.
00:00- But how many OUTFIELDERS have had training like this. 👇🏾They say the hardest ball to read is the one directly over our head. Well how much are we working on that ball?🤔 Love to let guys read backspin while knowing they are also approaching the wall. Comfortable being uncomfortable. #graveyardmentality 💀
00:00 - Mentality Check drill right here. I wanted to see if our graveyard mentality was still there after winter break(✔️). I Just told them to “Read & React” to the ball. There is no 1st step back mentality! Don’t wake up everyday to be average. #graveyard
00:00 - Because of the profession I chose I tend to miss a lot of Sunday church services. That’s caused me to turn my car into one of my favorite places of worship. How dare we wake up without thanking him for all the good he’s done for us. We can’t make it through life alone. 🙏🏾
- With baseball starting back up this week while we are still in a pandemic, im hoping that young players take the time to actually watch the game. So much you’ll be able to learn. Watch all 60 games & you’ll see your baseball IQ improve tremendously.
- Most nervous moment of my life but wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else. My woman @chantee_08 future Mrs. Butler
- I've decided that I won't be returning to Penn State. Appreciate all the relationships I've made over the past 4 years with everyone on this campus. Excited for what God has in store for my future. #TrustTheProcess ✊🏾
- When he smiles at me. He doesn’t care what I do for a living. He doesn’t care how many people followed me or “liked” what I posted. He just smiles because I’m dad. He smiles because I’m present. Best promotion ever was becoming your dad. 😀. Love you Jax.
- This is my 1st year having our OF's use positioning cards & I really love it. Keeps them locked into the game and allows them to come back to me w/ in game feedback. If they don't know y they are positioned in a certain spot are they really learning the game? #graveyardmentality
