    Pitchers: When you are on the bump, you don’t have to be who you are in everyday life. It’s your opportunity to create a persona that helps you gain confidence, mental clarity and the mindset to overcome any nerves, fears or anxiety that you may have.

    Nobody cares about your exit velocity if you leave runners at 2nd and 3rd when you’re down by one.

    Youth baseball should not cost thousands of dollars to play.

    Players: If a coach says, “does that make sense?” and it doesn’t, don’t say yes. Ask questions and seek clarity. Your window of opportunity to play this game is too short to not get the answers you need.

    Pitchers: If your desire to throw 90+ is greater than your desire to win, this game will eat you up.

    Chris Gradoville was a special person, teammate and friend. Not only was he a hard worker with big passion, he was the glue. He connected everyone on the team together. A man of integrity, faith and a true love for those around him. Graddy, you will be missed by so many. 💙💙

    The City of Omaha gifted us with this radar gun display for our house today. Can’t wait to play catch in the street to test it out.

    Pitchers: in this heat the best way to dump heat out of your body is through the palms of your hands. In between innings, put an ice towel on the bottom of your wrists and it’ll help cool you off way better than a cold towel over your head. 🔥🧊🙌🏼

    Pitchers: This first movement is crucial. Two things to focus on: 1) back foot is anchored and the weight isn’t shifting to the toes and 2) front leg gets extended as the drive starts and gloveside matches the front leg plane helping to ride the back leg and maintain posture.

    Glove side mechanics are incredibly important and aid in delaying front shoulder rotation. We cue our guys to think “thumb down” to “thumb up” with their glove to help create this type of movement. (also take note of glove-side elbow working above the shoulder 👍)
