Was told I needed to celebrate the little things in life, so I’m letting y’all know that ya boy has his Bachelors in Kinesiology! 👨🏾‍🎓🎉🎊 #CSUgrad2020

REMINDER: You don’t have to be the Golden Spikes winner. You don’t have to be All-American. You don’t have to be Conference MVP. You don’t even have to be the best player on the field. You just have to win one pitch. That’s it. So go dominate the next pitch. Go shrink the moment. Go free your mind. Go compete. Then when that pitch is over… Do it again. Win enough pitches, and in the end you’ll be the best.

To wrap up "The Baseball Killshot" into a single tweet: Killshot - an inning where a team scores 2+ runs while holding the opponent scoreless First Killshot in a game - 79% win rate More Killshots in a game - 92% win rate 2.1 Killshots P/G in '25 Spartan - back-to-back killshots

Bands. Plyos. Med balls. Long routines. All great tools. All useful. As long as you’re not on a clock. That’s training. Games are different. In a game, the first two guys get on and you need to get loose…quick. You don’t get every drill. You get “get hot now.” What works perfectly in the training environment doesn’t always hold up when chaos hits. If you can only pitch well when your warmup routine is long, controlled, and uninterrupted, you’re limiting your value to the team. Start training how to get loose fast. Ask yourself: •What do I need to do before the game so I’m already 70–80% ready? •What’s my bare-minimum routine to be ready to compete as fast as possible? •What can I do between innings to stay warm without overdoing it? •What gets my arm, body, and intent synced up quickly? The best pitchers aren’t just prepared. They’re adaptable. Don’t be the guy who can only start because your warmup takes too long. That hurts the team. Train for the game

0-0 curveballs have the highest run value out of all pitches, when thrown in zone. Why? Because it is a FREE strike. Curveballs are swung at just 23% of the time in 0-0 counts when it is IN ZONE. All 0-0 curveballs? Only 15% swings. Knowing this, if you can't land a curveball, it probably isn't a good 0-0 option for you. Understand what pitches you can land and can't. Understand what pitches you are trying to get swings on and which ones you are trying to get takes. Knowing who you are and the purpose behind each pitch is vital to your success.

*BASEBALL COACHES* With the help from our infield coach @b_szink12 I have created a Google Drive with 300+ videos dedicated to infield, outfield and team defense. If you have interest in something like this, hit the RT and I will reach out on how to access it. Preview below:

That's a debut to remember. 👏

A solo blast  from Cam Bufford extends the Ballers lead further in the bottom of the 7th! 6-3 Ballers! #camBAlam #letsgooakland #oaklandballers

Absolutely wild move here from Kyle Walker, currently playing with the Astros’ single-A affiliate the Fayetteville Woodpeckers.

Thank you God! Proverbs 16:3🔆 @GramSt_Bsb @Davin_Pierre

The moment Chad Stevens seemingly got the call up. Versatile infielder who has had an explosion of offense in AAA. In AAA: .304/.380/.540 14 HR 21.2 K% 10.1 BB% 124 wRC+ Cool moment for the older prospect, but bittersweet as Moore may be headed to the IL. #ReptheHalo

Cam Bufford gets the party started by sending this ball out to the street beyond the left field fence! 1-0 Ballers in the bottom of the 2nd! #letsgooakland #oaklandballers
