COACHES: If you see something you don't like from your players or something needs to be addressed, have those conversations ASAP. If you don't nip it in the bud, it'll fester and turn into something bigger that you'll have to deal with down the road eventually.

This Week In Pitch Counts: Fatigue is the enemy. Especially in March.

I just finished listening to Episode 1937 of Real Voices of the Game — Toe the Rubber with Jim Rooney and Dave Dagostino. Even though I host the Clearing The Bases podcast, I firmly believe in being a lifelong learner. So yes, I listen to many other podcasts. That means listening, learning, and gaining perspective from others who care deeply about the game. This episode is incredibly impactful. If you are involved in youth baseball as a coach, parent, or player, this is one you need to hear. There is so much gold in this conversation about the current state of the game and what truly matters for the development of young players, especially young pitchers. Honest insights, important perspectives, and conversations the baseball community should be paying attention to. 🎧 Take the time to listen — this is one you don’t want to miss. #Baseball #YouthBaseball #Coaching #PlayerDevelopment #RealVoicesOfTheGame #ToeTheRubber #ClearingTheBases #LifelongLearning #BaseballCommunity ⚾️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/epi…

🎙️ New Episode of the Clearing The Bases Podcast is LIVE! This week we’re joined by Matt McGuire, author of Fairfield American - A Legacy of Little League Dreams and longtime leader within Fairfield American Little League. Matt spent 15 years as a coach, board member, and president during one of the most remarkable eras in Connecticut Little League history — a time when Fairfield American reached the Little League World Series three times. But this conversation — and this book — isn’t just about winning. It’s about the moments on the field. The stories behind the scenes. The challenges, the lessons, the leadership… and what youth baseball really means to families and communities. Matt shares what inspired him to document this journey, the impact the league had on his own four sons, and why preserving these stories matters for the future of the game. If you love youth baseball and believe it’s about more than trophies, this is an episode you’ll appreciate. 🟢 Now streaming on all podcast platforms 🔗 theCTBshow.net #FairfieldAmerican #LittleLeague #YouthBaseball #ClearingTheBases #PodcastDrop #BaseballStories #Legacy

@colinsteinke @shegone03 @MLB @RVGDag @AMBS_Kernan @SalMarinello Hmmmm.....

@shegone03 @MLB @RVGDag @AMBS_Kernan @SalMarinello i mean, he should have caught the first one, but that's not "routine."

“Let the kids play” right? Poor Enmanuel De Jesus hasn’t pitched in the @MLB since 2023 but no one cares because the Top Prospect with the AURA couldn’t catch a couple routine fly balls! The second one was ruled a ground rule double somehow. This is what happens when organizations hype up Prospects who haven’t done anything at the @MLB level yet who are more concerned with building their brand than actually playing the game! This is also a direct result of MLB teams not having veterans who used to teach the young knuckleheads how to look and act like a Big Leaguer! Let’s hear it from all you keyboard warriors who think this not a problem in 3…2…1 #shegone @tigers @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @CRAIG_LAPINER @hittingguru7 @ROXSystem @BLocsports @artofhitting @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @ToddPratt07 @mikepiazza31 @JLucroy20 @GreggOlson30

They're throwing 90 pitches in just two innings! People defend it, saying it's 'within limits.' But imagine a young arm taking that kind of strain. It's not just twisting the rules; it could be destroying their future on the mound. #YouthSports #Baseball #ArmCare #ProtectTheKids #SportsSafety #BaseballParents #BaseballCoachEducation #ClearingTheBases #BaseballPodcast #YouthBaseball #BaseballCoach #PlayerDevelopment #BaseballFundamentals #TravelBaseball #HighSchoolBaseball #BaseballRecruiting #PositiveCoaching #YouthSports #NewEpisode #PodcastGuest #BaseballReels
