Midwest Bruins 18U takes the field today at @USM_BASEBALL 3:45pm & 6:00pm

2026 Regional Avg FB Velo across all 64 Regional teams is 90.8 MPH. 🔥 Highest: Wake Forest — 94.4 MPH 
📉 Lowest: Alabama State — 84.7 MPH A few takeaways: • 90+ MPH is no longer elite at the college level — it's becoming the standard. 
• Nearly every Regional features multiple staffs averaging 91-93+. 
• Velocity isn't everything... but it's becoming increasingly difficult to survive without it. If you want to play at a competitive D1 program… 90MPH is the benchmark. Velo gets your foot in the door… secondary pitches and command get you innings‼️

Who’s gonna bring home the @JUCOWorldSeries Title?

If you can’t lift 5-6x per week AND play 3-4 games per week… You aren’t ready for college baseball. This is your reality at that level. If that is too much for you, join a frat.

Watching your kid play baseball is one of life’s ultimate joys.

Ever wonder what makes WVU so good at what they do? Meticulous repetitions. Example A: Armani Guzman taking bunts. But notice Co-Head Student Manager Cam Kirsch giving him a live feel. Attenion to detail in everything it does allows WVU to host. @WVSportsDotCom

For the families of committed 2026s right now: The next 60 days are not about resting. They are about getting ready for college baseball. The student-athletes who arrive on campus in August prepared , physically, academically, emotionally, separate themselves from the ones who do not in the first month. The work between now and move-in matters more than most families realize.

Teams still in the playoffs, I beg you to open up your streams to everyone.

Thanks to those who died for America, I get to watch my son pitch on Memorial Day in a FREE country🇺🇸Look at the drop on that curve ball👌

JUCO baseball is the only level where a future big leaguer, a guy on academic probation, and a 27-year-old reliever all share the same bullpen. Gotta LOVE it

Blessed to announce my commitment to @ESUBaseball

I am excited to announce my commitment to Neosho County Community College. I want to thank my family and friends for always supporting me. I want to thank my coaches for everything they have done for me and made me the player I am today. #SHOtime @SteveMurry44 @MidwestBruins1

It is not often we see a Level 4 risk show up this early in the forecast for the Central Plains. This setup is looking much more aggressive than your typical spring storm day. Intense tornadoes and giant hail are likely tomorrow afternoon.

Had an hour long phone call this past week with a MLB cross checker about one of our alumni who is now in college…in that hour, there may have been about 5 minutes of him asking me about his talent. The other 55 or so minutes… 1. How does he handle failure? 2. Tell me about his parents? 3. Tell me about his parents personality types? 4. Did his teammates like him or tolerate him? 5. Were his parents overly involved or did they let him deal with tough moments on his own? 6. Does he handle tough coaching well? 7. Were there ever times he made excuses for performance? 8. When he got hurt, did he still show up for games or not?

Day 15 How did you become friends with George Brett? The timing of this question feels especially fitting since today is George’s birthday. Happy Birthday, George! Back in 2018, I was living out a dream by working as a police officer in the Royals dugout. Before the game started, George’s son, Jackson, came down behind the dugout to say hello to my friend Sergeant Tommy Woods, who had graciously let me work alongside him that night. Tommy introduced us and mentioned that I had just been diagnosed with ALS. Not long after, I jokingly told Jackson, “Tell your dad to come down here. I want to meet him.” Normally, I would never say something like that. But I knew how deeply ALS mattered to George. It’s even referenced on the inscription of his statue beyond the right field wall. For more than 40 years, George has been committed to fighting ALS after losing his close friend Keith Worthington to the disease. He made Keith a promise that he would stay in the fight until there’s a cure. A little while later, Jackson returned and said, “George is down there and wants to meet you.” Instantly, I was nervous. What do you even say to your childhood hero? George greeted me with a hug and handed me a baseball he had signed. He asked how I was doing and made sure I had the support I needed. Before we finished talking, he asked what he could do for me. I remember laughing and saying, “Honestly, this is already pretty amazing.” But then I added, “Throwing out the first pitch with you would be awesome.” George smiled and said, “Consider it done.” Less than a month later, it happened. Before we parted ways that night, George also promised me something else — that he would stand beside me throughout my battle with ALS. Over the years, he has kept that promise in every way possible. A lot of people know George Brett as a Hall of Fame baseball player. I know him as a loyal friend, a man of his word, and someone who quietly shows up for people when they need it most. His friendship has been one of the greatest blessings of my ALS journey, and I will never stop being grateful for the kindness he’s shown me and so many others fighting this disease. #ALS #ALSAwareness #SarahsSoldiers #FightLikeAGirl

The house next door is rented by 4 college women. They have lived there almost 2 years and they are great neighbors. Last night about 10p we get a text from one of them letting us know they were about the to have a bunch of people over and it was going to be loud for the first time. We were ready for the kind of party we went to back in the day, you know, music pumping, lots of drunk people being loud till the early hours of the morning, maybe a kid passed out in my front yard when I woke up.
