Champion Mentality vs. Victim Mentality

The average height and weight of the teams in Omaha is 6’2/205. This is generally pulled down by freshmen on the bench or an outlier pitcher. The teams that are winning have very few, if any, players in their starting lineup under 200 pounds. The teams going 0-2 or 1-2 at the CWS have several players under 200 pounds. There are a couple outlier infielders that are 5’10/185 or so. FSU’s smallest starter is 6’1/188. But 195-200 is generally the cutoff weight at any of the 8 defensive positions. Any player under those weights is not in the starting lineup. The amount of 6’2/220, 6’3/230, 6’4/240, 6’5/250 players is staggering - up and down the lineup of the SEC schools. Here’s a sample: Florida Jac Cag 6’5 / 250 Catchers Brody Donay 6’5 / 235 Luke Heyman 6’4 / 220 Tennessee Christian Moore that hit for the cycle 6’1/215. Blake Burke 6’3/235 Billy Amick INF 6’1/217 Kavares Tears 6’0/200 One of the “lightest” players I’ve found is FSUs INF Alex Lodise at 6’1/188. A few Kentucky and North Carolina infielders were a little smaller. More FSU position player starters: Drew Faurot INF 6’3/202. Jaime Ferrer OF 6’1/220 Max Williams 6’2/198 James Tibbs 6’0/204 Cam Smith 6’3/230 Daniel Cantu 6’3/219 Marco Dinges 6’0/194 Texas AM Braden Montgomery 6’2/220 Gavin Grahovac 6’2/220 Jace LaViolette 6’6/230 Jackson Appel 6’0/200 Hayden Schott 6’2/220 Ted Burton 6’3/200 Bonus SEC South Carolina Ethan Petry (SC) 6’4 / 235 Gavin Casas (SC) 6’4/230 Cole Messina (SC) 6’0/230 Blake Jackson (SC) 6’0/195 Kennedy Jones (SC) 6’1/220

Winning pitcher today for @UKBaseball at the CWS? Tip of the 🧢 to you @HummelJohnny @Butler_Dawgs

The standard is the standard. Extremely proud of our guys. 3.80 GPA on the school year!

Congrats to our guys for making all district. Both these guys were two way warriors, impossible to keep off the bases, and even harder to deal with once they got there. Congrats @AngelonAlex and @TannerBritt3 !!

Big time congrats to @AngelonAlex and @TannerBritt3 ! Well deserved!

This is a staff award for sure. And I’m so thankful for my assistant coaches and the leadership of our seniors. We had to do things on the baseball field this season that candidly, I’ve never seen anybody do. But credit to our kids for buying in and what a year for the SW4A!

Carson is the most competitive player I have ever coached. The things he did this year without the ability to throw a baseball were incredible. He’s a 3X all conference player.

Alex had a tough junior year, but his resiliency, his ability to compete through adversity and his leadership were invaluable to us this season. He’s been a varsity player from the first pitch of his first game, and a staple in the top of the order at Butler for the last 4 years

Zach has been a wonderful example to our younger players of hard work paying off. He’s a 2X all conference player. He’s headed to UNC Asheville, and we can’t wait to follow his career!

Ian was team MVP a season ago, and came up big time and time again this year. His growth in managing the game was incredible to watch. He’s a 2X all SW4A player and headed to Cleveland CC next year.

To my coach friends. @CMSAthletic1 If the spring season is over, scalp that Bermuda as low as the mower will go. If it’s long, mow it everyday lowering each time. Mow it low until late June. Who cares if it’s brownish or yellow. Water & Fertilize. You will be happy in August

Birmingham-Southern (Division 3) just advanced to the D3 Super Regionals Their college is SHUTTING DOWN permanently May 31st. If they advance to the D3 College World Series, they will be playing for a school that no longer exists

All we need is a chip and a chair
