With the NCAA transfer portal opening today, I want to get a couple things off my chest. 1) @CoachBeede said something the other day that really stuck with me: the players that have the best college experience frequently do so because they and their family treated it like a

25 athletes from 13 schools. These are the kids that the @IHSA_IL is hurting by preventing or punishing them from/for taking the field at @PrepBaseballIL State Games next week! If IHSA is truly for the kids, then stop preventing them from being recruited to move on to college!

Hear a lot of people question the direction of this program. Know this: Bear Kelley takes care of his players like they’re at a D1, they lift and train like a D1 and schedule like they’re not afraid of anybody. Awesome to see local kids take down the No. 1 team in the country!

Today in downstate Illinois, in a game between @MSBulldogBS (enrollment 987) and @Hearts_Baseball (enrollment 816) the starting pitchers topped at 99 and 96, respectively 👀👀👀 The game has changed. If you don’t change with it, you’re gonna get left behind.

So happy for this kid! Everything he’s achieved he’s earned with sacrifice and sweat! He’s the embodiment of what happens when talent and athletic ability works incredibly hard. Enjoy this @mason_mccoy1! I’d be there except I don’t have a current passport! Maybe in Denver…

Mark my words, there’s gonna be a lot of dudes who pull @NolanGorman aside during BP and ask who helped him hone that swing! And then there’s gonna be a line of big leaguers all the way down to Legend’s Corner! All because @TJHannam10 is the best communicator I know!

True story: Back in 2018, my dad suffered a heart attack. While recovering from bypass surgery, he wanted to watch Running Scared. I tweeted that out and Billy Crystal took time to wish my father well in his recovery. Fan of that movie for life!

A year ago this time, I was miserable…I didn’t like the direction my baseball journey was taking. Fast forward a year and it’s amazing what happens when you partner with the right people, people who value YOU and YOUR WORK. This train is just getting started Diamonds Family!

Great to get back to Thome Field today and see Bear Kelley and the Cougz of @ICC_CougarBsbll! Appreciate his kind words of introduction to the team! 4-year coaches, this roster is LOADED with talent. Make it a point to see them on Saturday at the @MidwestClassic!

15 years ago tonight I had my first date with this beautiful lady! A lot changed since then, but she’s hung with me and supported me thru everything! Trust me when I say marry a woman who loves baseball, boys! Even if that means watching the @whitesox instead of the @Cubs 😢😢
