COACHES: When you’re on your deathbed you’re going to be surrounded by people, not trophies. Winning is important. It will never stop being important. But how you treat people along the way will always be more important. #ChampsInLife

- Being on a starter on many varsity high school teams is far more difficult than paying to be on a travel team.
- I'm excited to take over the reigns as the head baseball coach for the @HarperHawks! It's important to note that @Aomalley2 will remain on staff. He has done an incredible job moving things in the right direction this spring!
- I'll leave this here. Mike Rothmund over the past two seasons. .352/48 HR/150 RBI/1.226 OPS Video game numbers. #MLBDraft #MLBPipeline #MLBNetwork
- Attn: HS Coaches It’s March. 90-100 pitches is not acceptable. It’s actually negligent, and you should be ashamed if that’s the route you’re taking. Depth is not the reason, it’s an excuse. Develop some strike throwers and you won’t have that issue. #PitchSmart #CoachNot
- Dreams do come true. @jacksuwinski @IllinoisIndians @playballdirect @ChiScoutsAssoc @Taft_HS @Pirates
- Still looking for 2023 grads: 1) Pitchers: Ability to throw strikes > Velo 2) SS: Looking for a guy that can stick at the position. We’re graduating 5 MIF! 3) Bats: LHH/RHH, best available . . . guys that have barrel awareness and square the baseball consistently
- I need to speak to 10 high school or travel coaches this week to get some valuable feed back . . . please let me know if you can spare a few minutes from your day!
- My reply to about 1/2 the high school players that send me an email . . .
- 1 - Summer records are irrelevant, unless there is an actual league or something greater to play for. 2 - If you’re not playing up, you’re playing down. 3 - Other travel programs “recruiting” off other rosters. Soft. 15 summers of doing this and it’s only getting worse.
- 53,000 college players. 24,000 position players. 1600+ colleges/universities Nobody hit more HR than @miggyroth10 - think about that. Playable power. Been doing it for a decade. Give him 400-500 ABs in pro ball and he will give you 25-35 all day, no question. #MLBDraftI'll leave this here.

- The difference between "attack angle" and "launch angle" - since there seems to still be some confusion.
