    Year 2 is in the books for Nashed Athlete Advising and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of our current/former families, & coaches that give me the ability to do what I enjoy every day. The success that we’ve had with NAA is a culmination of the effort, intentionality, &

    The Division 1 baseball recruiting period ended yesterday. There will not be D1 coaches at any of your games, showcases, practices, etc. until March 1st of next year. The only exception is if you attend a camp at an individual school. Now is the time to get after it on the

    Perspective is everything. In 2014 I was an uncommitted senior with minimal D1 interest. Dave Nakama (head coach at San Jose State at the time) came out to watch me play. I went 0-fer and played a sloppy 3B. My worst game of the season, and I knew that any opportunity at

    This one is a must read. I hope the takeaway is, at minimum, eye opening. To any player/parent trying to navigate the recruiting process right now - here is some perspective for you. I came across this video recently on Twitter - It’s a video of Juan Soto when he was 16 years

    Players & parents... if you need a reality check on the current recruiting landscape in college baseball, here it is. Hint: it isn't getting any easier. Impending D1 baseball roster changes will cut the current 40-man spring roster down to a 34-man yearly roster with no

    As word seems to be getting out, I figure it’s a good time to give an update. Last Thanksgiving Paris noticed a lump on my neck. I ended up getting it checked out and the tests and imaging came back suspicious. In February, I had half of my Thyroid and a 2.5cm cancerous

    Here’s the deal. I have no skin in the game on this topic, and no reason to be biased in any direction. I’m just going to call it exactly how I have seen it based on my last 10 years in & around Division 1 baseball. If you can get outs at a high level, you will pitch in

    For anyone who hasn't already taken note on this... check out these D1 baseball stat trends. Notice anything? (2020 left out due to shortened COVID season) Division 1 Teams with a sub 4.00 Team ERA: 2018: 66 2019: 45 2021: 38 --- 2022: 14 2023: 6 2024: 7 (still in

    Guy shoves it for 7 innings against the #4 ranked team in the country, gets a routine fly ball for the last out to secure an upset win, and instead of pounding his chest he is looking to fill a gap on the field by rotating up to backup second base. This is what greatness looks

    Saint Mary's notches a huge upset win as it takes down Florida 9-7. Brian Duroff went 3-5 with 2 HRs and 3 RBIs, Nathan Chong went 2-3 with a HR and 2 RBIs, and Coleman Schmidt went 2-5 with a HR. Connor Linchey was outstanding in relief, allowing 3 ER on 5 hits across 7 IP.

    If you are a healthy pitcher and your plan is to completely shut down from throwing for a month or two this winter to "rest" your arm... you are doing yourself a disservice. I hear this VERY often that coaches are prescribing 5-8 week shutdowns because they want their guys to be
