Unpopular opinion: I would never pay for pitching lessons early. Hitting lessons? Absolutely. If you can hit, you can stay on the field. A player with a good arm can always transition to pitching later. It’s much harder the other way around.

Parents: Your son doesn’t need a perfect baseball journey. He needs adversity. Bad games. Failure. Pressure. Disappointment. That’s where confidence, toughness, and maturity are built. Don’t rescue him from every hard moment.

Youth sports is on life support. If you think it’s fine, you’re not paying attention. Kids age 10-12 are playing way too many tournaments and travel ball. Parents treat it like the World Series. They need less travel, more rest, fueling, and actual development. They’re 12 YO. The data backs it up: ❌70% of kids drop out of organized sports by age 13. ❌Professionalization (year-round single-sport focus, heavy travel/tournaments) drives overuse injuries, overtraining, and burnout. ❌Nearly 1 in 10 youth athletes experience burnout; up to 35% deal with overtraining. ❌Early specialization before 12-13 raises injury and burnout risks significantly. Multi-sport kids who rest and play for fun stick around longer and develop better. Let them be kids. Prioritize recovery, fun, and long-term health over trophies. The best athletes often sample multiple sports early and specialize later. Who else sees this?

Nothing is LESS impressive to me than a 12u team that never loses. PLAY UP! No one cares about your team of giant 6th graders physically dominating on a 200 foot field! Play where you can lose if you don’t play well, it’s the only way you’ll get better!

When a travel ball parent brags about their kid's team's amazing record, and how they're crushing the opposition, my response is always that they need to start playing teams that can beat them, even if that means playing up an age group.

1) my fist varsity start came as a freshman because there were a bunch of juniors at prom. I had a hit and was on varsity ever since. 2) my graduation was on the same day as the senior all star game and beehive field against the best players in the state. I walked across the stage and left straight for the game. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s just a different generation now I guess but choosing a social activity over an athletic event (if you’re claiming to be serious about it) is pretty non serious unfortunately.

All this talk of missing a game to go to prom is blowing my mind. I can't believe people are actually defending this. People think it's okay to miss a game for a dance... I'm sorry but my date would understand I have a game and we will have to delay pictures, go late to dinner, or I'll meet her at the dance after we win and I go 3-4. 😂 Actually lived this scenario. Prom junior year was on the same day as our district semi game. We won and we felt like ballers walking into the dance. It doesn't matter what the game is for either. Playoff game or not, hell, I'm not missing a practice for prom.

A whole new perspective of Riverbend Ball Park... and it’s only the beginning. The lights, the field, the atmosphere… it all comes together when it’s game time. Big thanks to @coachtindell for bringing this view to life with this footage! 🎥

One of my college coaches once told us: “Play like a bunch of dirtbags.” Not soft. Not pretty. Just tough, gritty, relentless baseball. Is that mindset disappearing? Is this still a thing? How many actually play the game this way today?

This Dividion 3 baseball player was given a tounge lashing by his coach for not hustling out of the batter’s box and admiring his homerun. The coach yells at him to hustle because he doesn’t know if it’s going to be a home run and he needs to hustle. He tells him if he ever does that again, it will be his last at bat there. Some are saying the coach is being ridiculous, let the player have fun. Others are saying the coach was right on the money and that’s what is wrong with players today- too much showboating. What do you think? Do you think the coach overacted or do you think he was correct?

This High School baseball coach sounds like has his hands full. I feel for him. He kicked this senior off the baseball team. Listen to the senior laugh and then try to degrade the coach. When asked why he was kicked off he said the reason was they took him out of the game (for who knows what) and they didn’t speak to him about it. So, he got on his phone in the dugout and was texting with his mom telling her to not bother to come to the game. Everyone knows you aren’t to be on your phone in high school during a game. Just by listening to the student and also the fact the coach had an officer present, I can tell what I already need to know. Sounds like the coach is trying to turn a program around. Do you think the coach made the right decision? Context is everything I know, but listening to him, can’t you kind of gather what the issue is? Who thinks this is exactly what is wrong with our younger generation?

A loyal assistant coach is one of the most valuable things in a program. They keep the locker room steady. They reinforce standards. They make the head coach better. Behind every strong program… there’s usually a strong coaching staff.

The most toxic person in a program isn't the complainer. It's the talented player with a mediocre work ethic that everyone else starts to emulate.

If the WBC was travel ball… Team USA is about to miss bracket play. Bryce Harper’s dad and Alex Bregman’s dads are in the parking lot forming a new team since their kids are on the bench tonight.
