- It’s been the honor of my life to wear a @253Baseball uniform for the last 30 years. Now is the time for me to step away as head coach
- Corey Seager suiting up for Kannapolis, NC @legionbaseball. Whoever told you that you have to play “club” baseball to be a big leaguer lied.
- Little known fact about The Show ‘20: If you walk into the new MLB-only clubhouse on Road to the Show, your minor leaguer automatically becomes “complacent” and the game crashes.I’m sure Minor Leaguers bargained for the use of their likenesses and will be paid fairly and not told to just be happy they’re in a videogame and everything will be fine because they’re getting paid fairly bcus that’s normal..they’re getting paid, right?!
- For anyone looking for some at-home ideas for players while waiting on baseball season to (hopefully) resume, here's a link to a plan I made. Disclaimer: I am not a strength coach, or expert on anything. Just thought this might be a helpful starting point:
- What separates the really good MLB guys from the minor leaguers or high school and college guys? “It’s no secret, it’s the intent with which they do everything. Everything matters.” - @SLarkin04 from the @aotc_podcast
- In my experience, the vast majority of high school baseball coaches (especially at small to mid size schools) are not just the head coach, but also their program’s head groundskeeper, S&C coach, hitting and/or pitching coach, fundraising director, mental skills coach....
- Absolutely blown away by our guys effort and composure this week, and all the support we got from back home. To the #253Family, the commitment and love you have for this program is overwhelming. Thank youSee you in Shelby 👀 @ALWS_Shelby
00:00 - Anyone who’s met Tony Underwood knows what an incredible impact he has had on the Jefferson College baseball program and community over the last 40+ years. Now, if you’re able, the heart and soul of the Vikings could use some help.
- Week 1 in the books! Mobility assessments completed, player development plans ready, Fall Prospect Camp in the books. Excited to get going for team stuff on Monday with this group of #Vikes
- Proud of our guys. Incredible effort all week long. Came up short against a really good @CrowderBasebal1 team. Congratulations to @TLalle31 @Tsaw03 @J_Immekus35 and @NickDoughty on the Region 16 Title. Best of luck the rest of the way#Vikes season comes to an end with a 4-2 loss to Crowder in the Region 16 Championship Game
- I try never to use the phrase “kids these days, but I’ll make an exception for this: most “kids these days” don’t understand how incredible peak Albert Pujols wasAlbert Pujols with the Cardinals: .420 OBP, 170 OPS+, 86.6 WAR Albert Pujols with the Angels: .311 OBP, 108 OPS+, 12.8 WAR
- And just one more... to my father @tcb747 for turning #253Baseball into what it is today. Some kids grow up dreaming of playing in the major leagues, or being the coach at LSU or Vanderbilt. I grew up dreaming of doing exactly what I got to do this week.The thank yous for this summer are incredibly lengthy, but I’d appreciate you taking a moment to read this thread. Thank you to: - Our players for bringing us to Shelby and the big stage. Your effort, toughness, and poise under pressure was incredible. You got us here
