Scrimmage against Brandeis last night. I've been working hard on getting my swing back post injury. Thankyou Coach @CoachJoseNG still needs some fine tuning. @CruSoftball @mkmojica @leah_guest

@JohnBollman11 Forgot Daytona 500 February 15th.

Were about to start the greatest sports run of all time… Olympics- FEB 6 Super Bowl- FEB 8 College Baseball- FEB 13 World Baseball Classic- MAR 4 March Madness- MAR 17 Opening Day- MAR 26 Masters- APR 9 NBA+NHL Finals- JUNE World Cup- JUN 11 College Football- AUG 26 NFL- SEP 10

@coachzblair10 It starts with the parents. My parents have always told me that if you are on time, you are already late. Practice begins at 6 means cleats already on. On the field ready to stretch

The same people who miss practice the most are the same people who complain the most when they don't play. Make it make sense! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Signing ceremony at Byron P. Steele II High School. One semester to go! GO CRU! @CruSoftball @mkmojica @leah_guest @Slksoftball

@CoachManusos Transfer Portal has killed high school recruiting. My opinion, go DII or DIII, start right away, get that college experience. If your dream is to play D1, make sure you have a school truly interested and ready to sign you before you jump in.

If you are truly seeing the amount of 2026’s de-committing and committing elsewhere.. you’ll understand why the 2027 landscape and every one that comes after it will be that much harder.

@CAASoftballAdv Don't forget, 26 and 27 are the first classes to navigate the new recruiting process with the NIL settlement, along with thousands entering transfer portal every year. Find the program that fits you. Don't chase a number.

You’re doing so much better than you probably feel. I know this process can feel heavy. The waiting. The uncertainty. The comparison. The “why not me yet?” moments. But here’s the truth — if you’re still showing up, still working, still sending emails, still finding ways to get better even when it feels slow… you’re winning. Recruiting isn’t an overnight success story — it’s a test of consistency, patience, and belief in yourself when it would be easier to doubt. You might not see it yet, but coaches notice the athletes who keep going. The ones who handle the quiet parts of the process with grit and character. So keep going. You’re doing so much better than you probably feel. ✨

@MadisonMcCalli1 Amen! Everyone's journey is different. Put your faith in the Lord's guidance, and he will ensure you get to where YOU belong.

✨ “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage.” – Psalm 27:14 Your journey isn’t delayed—it’s being prepared. Keep training, keep believing, and trust that the right door will open in God’s perfect timing. 🥎🙏 (borrowed from someone else)

@CSC_SB_Coach I've been using a drop 8 and 9 for the past 3 years. I like switching to the 9 when facing a fast pitcher, as I am able to get a faster swing.

PSA: If you are playing 16U/18U and plan to play in college, it's time to retire the drop 11 bat. A drop 10 will be just fine. Or you can be like me and swing a 56 drop 2.

@CoachManusos The conversations need to start at home. My Dad told me to keep an open mind and find what works for me academically. I got offers from all levels, but in the end, DIII worked best for me and what I want to do after softball is over.

I know I’m pretty hard on the current state of recruiting, but honestly, I wouldn’t want to be an athlete in today’s landscape. We’ve essentially told kids to get on social media, which indirectly pushes them to chase validation through likes, follows, and views. I believe we owe it to athletes to be as transparent as possible about the realities of recruiting. Maybe some families and coaches are having those tough conversations at home, but there’s still more education we can provide about the type of players it actually takes to play at elite programs. I get it, it’s a big task and almost impossible to reach the majority on this topic. But when 90% of athletes list only Power 5 or major D1 schools in their top 10, it’s clear there’s a communication gap somewhere. Who’s got some ideas?

@coachmeg22 I actually had the last 6 weeks off, but that was out of necessity with two tears in my left shoulder tendon from a collision I had playing high school softball. Today was our first practice.

I have questions for those travel ball (high school aged) softball athletes playing this weekend. Why aren’t you on a break? When do you take a break? How long is/was your break? Did you play all spring/summer & you’re still going? Burnout & overuse injuries are real guys. 👀 LMK

@CruSoftball @mkmojica Congratulations! I loved watching you play this past year. Hope to get to learn from you this coming year.

CONGRATS to alumni Bailey Frenzel!

@MillaKirkup Congratulations! Beautiful campus, and Coach Lynn is awesome!

I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic and academic journey at Southwestern University. First, I want to thank God for giving me the strength to continue on my athletic path and for staying by my side through thick and thin. Thank you to my amazing parents for dedicating so much of their life towards the sport I love, and for believing in my softball career every step of the way.  Thank you to Coach Lynn and the Southwestern staff for believing in me and offering me this incredible opportunity. A huge thank you to all of my coaches for helping me build a strong foundation to become the player I am today. Lastly I am so incredibly grateful for my travel ball and high school teams, for showing me that softball is more than just a sport. The friendships I’ve made through playing are truly lifelong, and I’m so thankful for everyone I’ve met. I can’t wait to play these last few seasons with my best friends, but I am so ready to begin this next chapter in my softball career. GO PIRATES !!💛💛🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ #committed #softball #southwesternuniversity

Will be out until at least September. With hard work, I will come back even stronger for the fall season.

So, finally, after 2 months of being in pain and not being able to play a full game, I have an answer. MRI reveled 2 tears in my rotator cuff tendon, plus inflammation in my left shoulder bursitis @Slksoftball @mkmojica @Leah_Guest_

I'm on my way to Florida to give everything I have for my team. Should have some fun in the sun this weekend! @mkmojica @Leah_Guest_ @CruSoftball @Slksoftball

Had a great time with my team in El Paso. Big hits even with a bad shoulder. Awaiting approval for an mri to see why it isn't getting any better from a collision with a high school teammate back in May. @Slksoftball @mkmojica @Leah_Guest_

@_coachrachel Two good reasons: 1. Need a new team that will continue to challenge you to be the very best you can be. 2. The unfortunate side is that you can no longer afford the team you are on.

It’s Team Hopping Season 😂

@psanders548 @CruSoftball @mkmojica @Leah_Guest_ It was great spending the day with one of my softball besties at my future home!

Thank you @CruSoftball @mkmojica @Leah_Guest_ for a great camp! The current players that helped were awesome and I loved the energy. @ASchaffer_07 💜💛

@emileebaker04 @GovsSB @KassieD23 @daniii_liermann Congratulations on finding your new home for your Senior year. Look forward to seeing you shine!

Handed over the pen to a greater author of my story. So here’s to trusting Him. One last ride, let’s do it Govs❤️ @GovsSB @KassieD23 @daniii_liermann
