    The first person to drive in a run at the College World Series is 5'9" 185. Coastal's SP is a 5'10" RHP. I know you'd all like to be 6'3". But kids, just because you're 5'9" doesn't mean you can't play at the highest level. You've got to be strong. You've got to be a

    Infielders, when I'm scouting, I'm evaluating you between innings. If your throws between innings as your first baseman rolls you GB's are in the dirt, up the line, high, your stock plummets. You are literally being scouted every time you touch the ball. #ItAllMatters

    Am I the only one who thinks this is Little League stuff? Like, he's not working borderline pitches back into the edges of the zone fluidly. He's catching, then pulling balls middle-middle, like a bad HS catcher. Is this really "good framing" in 2020???

    Holy shit, Twitter 😶 I am stunned. I signed this kid to Louisburg out of HS. Never got to coach him as I left the year he came in. Totally lost track of him because frankly he had a very mediocre college career. Haven't even thought about him in years. Then today, by pure

    Uncommitted kids - small tip that will go a long way: Stop retweeting your buddies tweets. This is the one time in your life where taking advice to be selfish is smart. When a college coach looks at your profile, if he scrolls and scrolls and all he sees is video of your

    Just had a 2025 email me. I Google him. Only video --a showcase from Fall of his FR year. He was 66-67 on the mound. Ran an 8.6 60. 📣Parents, STOP wasting your money!!!📣 DO NOT SHOWCASE your skills until they are recruitable! 66-67 / 8.6 60 is NOT recruitable! 🤦🤦🤦 #💲⬇️🚽

    Great hitters... ▪️square the ball up often ▪️swing & miss sparingly ▪️hate a "ꓘ" ▪️can hit the ball to all fields ▪️commit to a 2-strike "team-first" approach ▪️drive in the runner on 3B w/ <2 outs ▪️hit it hard to the right side w/ runner on 2B, 0 outs ▪️BB+HBP > K's

    I really wish that every committed baseball player across the country would band together and commit to playing Legion ball after they commit. Personally I think it would be so much better for everyone involved. The level of Legion ball would climb so committed guys would still

    I don't care how many people want to argue with me, the definition of fun does NOT have to include yelling at your opponent. Have all the fun you want with your teammates. The line of disrespect is crossed when your emotion is projected toward the other dugout. Simple as that.

    Nothing better than talking some shit after punching somebody’s ticket. This is how it’s supposed to be. Hitters can flip their bats. Pitchers can do this. It’s called fun.
