James Harden is PATHETIC 😭

@PrepBaseOHScout @Colt_Ward30 @JonanSnyder @ElidaBaseball @Colton8G @GavinTickle19 @xzvier2026 @DefianceBBall @ikewebb_35 Great game Colt!

2028 C Colt Ward @Colt_Ward30 (@DefianceBBall) 6-3, 195-pound LHH 3-hole hitter is one of the top bats in the state. The lefty showcased an advanced swing with strength through contact and the ability to drive the baseball to all fields. Went 2-for-3 on the night with two hard-hit doubles and an RBI. Behind the plate, showed athletic actions while receiving and blocking, handling balls in the dirt with ease. Solid arm strength with accurate throws to second base. The No. 27 ranked prospect in the 2028 class continues to establish himself as one of the top names to follow in the class.

In a tight @wblsports clash, @ElidaBaseball (10-6, 5-3 WBL) defeats #13 (D3) @DefianceBBall (11-5, 5-2 WBL) 3-2 to stay in contention within the league. Elida’s 2028 class had a day. RHP @JonanSnyder got it done on the bump, throwing a complete game, allowing just two runs, while striking out four. SS @Colton8G and 1B @GavinTickle19 paced the offense. Graham went 2-4 with an RBI and run scored, while Tickle went 2-3 with two RBIs. 2027 RHP @ikewebb_35 got the start for the Bulldogs, striking out 12 in six strong innings. 2028 C @Colt_Ward30 paced the offense while also doing a great job defensively behind the plate. The LHH went 2-3 with two doubles and an RBI for Defiance. Defiance thought they tied it up in the 6th, but the runner was called out for leaving 2nd base too early on a sacrifice fly. The sac fly is shown in the video below.

2028 1B Gavin Tickle @GavinTickle19 (@ElidaBaseball) 6-foot-4, 195-pound first base prospect. The right-handed hitter works with a level bat path through the zone and showed present strength with the ability to impact the baseball. Produced a loud RBI single to left field that came off the bat with impressive exit velocity. Finished the night 2-for-3 with two RBIs.

2028 SS Colton Graham @Colton8G (@ElidaBaseball) The 6-2, 190-pound two-way prospect showed well offensively while hitting out of the two-hole. The right-handed hitter went 2-for-4 with an RBI and run scored, consistently finding the barrel throughout the night. Simple operation at the plate with a level bat path through the zone and the ability to stay on pitches well. Also a good arm with a low to mid-80s fastball. A name to know.

Worked with a quality three-pitch mix, showing feel and confidence to land the slider in any count. Competed with presence on the mound and consistently attacked hitters throughout the outing.  7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 4 K, 3 BB. 60/94 strikes. Also contributes offensively as a middle-of-the-order bat, hitting out of the three-hole and producing consistently at the plate this spring. A name to know.

Paolo Banchero to Tobias Harris “What? You suck n****, sorry ass. Tryna act hard, you aint hard n****… I’d beat yo ass.” Banchero then missed both free throws 😬 (h/t @BrickCenter_, @PlayoffSports_)

The Sound of a Losing Culture. I hear it in the dugout during games. A player strikes out looking on a borderline pitch. He walks back to the bench tosses his bat and starts the script: "Blue has a flight to catch," or "The sun was right in my eyes." The coach nods just to stop the noise. The teammates shrug because they do it too. But the standard of the program just dropped another inch. You think you’re just "venting." Everyone else sees a player who is too soft to own his failure. The 3 Lefts Mental Audit: • The Excuse Subsidy: Every time you blame the umpire, the sun, or the mound you are paying a tax on your own development. If it’s someone else’s fault you don't have to fix anything. And if you don't fix anything you stay exactly where you are Average. • The "Main Character" Delusion: The sun is hitting the pitcher’s eyes too. The umpire is missing calls for both sides. The game isn't out to get you it just doesn't care about you. Stop acting like the world is conspiring against your batting average. • The Respect Gap: You want your teammates to trust you in the 7th inning. Then stop acting like a victim in the 2nd. Real leaders don't look for someone to blame they look for a way to adjust. The game doesn't reward the player with the best reason It rewards the player who makes the most adjustments. If you want to be treated like an elite ballplayer, start acting like one when things go wrong. High-level players don't have bad luck they have short memories and a plan for the next pitch. Average players want the world to be fair. Ballplayers realize the dirt is dirty and they keep digging anyway. Stop auditioning for the victim role. Nobody is buying tickets to that show. #3LeftsBaseball #BaseballIQ
