8 Realities of a High School Coach 1. It will consume you 2. There will be critics 3. You are not in it for the $ 4. There is no overnight success 5. You need a supportive spouse 6. You will not make everyone happy 7. You can’t want it more than the kids 8. It is still worth it!

This always makes me smile. @Nationals @CharlieSlowes WATCH

Extra-inning postseason baseball does not equate to good sleep. But damn I love this ...

“There’s no such thing as a perfect throw.” Cal Raleigh:

JAMES WOOD WALKS IT OFF!!! HE SNAPS THE NATIONALS 11-GAME LOSING STREAK!!!

Here is the full list of players in MLB hitting over .280 with 15+ home runs and 8+ stolen bases. Shohei Ohtani James Wood

A few open-side swings from Dylan Grego (SS, @BallStateBB). Switch-hitter slashing .373/.427/.632 with 12 doubles, 12 HR, and 10 SB after adding good weight to frame. Contact oriented hitter with 16.4% K rate. Leading the MAC in hits (75).

🚨 DBU 3 Cone Front-Toss • Set up 3 cones in a line from back foot to front • Call out a cone before you flip the ball • Back Cone = Oppo • Middle Cone = Middle • Front Cone = Pull ⭐️ Great drill for working on timing & hitting to all fields!

James Wood just hit a gargantuan second-deck HR to right center field. Haven’t seen maybe people hit the ball up here. That’s 9 jacks for Wood already.

Obviously a great throw by Tatis. A couple takeaways other than the throw. 1) On a throw from RF the catcher’s initial set up is in foul territory. That gives him a chance to move to HP to make the catch & tag. It also increase his chances/range on throws on the foul side of HP.

The energy at the ballpark tonight was 🔥

Umpires always ruin everything 😂😭 (Wait for it...)

This is the still the craziest thing I’ve ever seen on a baseball diamond.

James Wood and Nasim Nuñez, aura-farming pals, knocked in all 3 runs in this #Nats win on Tuesday. Both train extensively in the offseason w/ @CoachG_MD on making good contact. The other player in their trio, Trey Lipscomb, hit a HR in Triple-A. A good day for Coach G's guys. 🔥
