MSU Baseball’s Higgins Drafted In Fifth Round By The Toronto Blue Jays sprtns.co/4ymCpOA #GoGreen | @nohiggy77

Draft Day will always hit differently for me. #MLBDraft I came from a one-stoplight town in northern Pennsylvania. My graduating class had 32 kids. Then one phone call changed my life. The Cleveland Indians selected me in the third round of the 2002 MLB Draft. Not because I was a finished product, but because someone believed in what I could become. Tonight, dreams are coming true for players and families across the country. But when your name is called, the work isn’t finished. It’s just beginning. Be grateful. Stay humble. Bet on your development. Sometimes all a young player needs is one organization willing to believe in his ceiling. ⚾️ 🇺🇸🙌

All the feels for Roch Cholowsky 😭 (MLB x Nippon Express)

Seems good… 🤷 . @RhysJones2029

‘29 Rhys Jones (Langley || @DMVProspectsBSB) Rips this into the right center gap for a double. @PrepBaseballVA #VA71 #DCSummerChamp

‘29 Rhys Jones (Langley || @DMVProspectsBSB) FB: 79-81 T82 CB: 66 CH: 73 Pitched a complete game shutout with 18ks. Completely dominated with the low 80s fastball and mixing in a mid 60s curveball and a low 70s changeup. Was able to use all pitches effectively for strikes and whiffs. @PrepBaseballVA #VA71 #DCSummerChamp

@DMVProspectsBSB @CodyJefferis Awesome!

Congrats Chuck Buck! @CodyJefferis take care of my guy 👆

Today, Kevin M. Guskiewicz announced he will remain at Michigan State University and continue serving as president.

Rhys Jones #21 helped the East Coast Grays National gets their bats swinging in the 4th inning with a strong double to RF. Solid win to start the PG National Elite 15U in Hoover. Go EC Grays!! instagram.com/reel/DaawFY8Rw…

Miguel Vargas making the All-Star team is one of the best and quickest turnarounds I recall in franchise history. In 2024, he batted .104 in 42 games after the trade from the Dodgers. Now he’s one of the best players in the game.

The only team in MLB to have 3 players with 20+ HR this season: The Chicago White Sox 🔥

When I was 13 years old, I told my dad I wanted to become a Major League Baseball player. He looked at me and said, "You can... but we need a plan." So we sat down and made one. First, we created the big vision. Play in the Major Leagues. Then we worked backwards. We made a one-year plan. At the time, I wanted to make a better travel team and play in bigger tournaments. Then we made a season plan. Then a monthly plan. Then a weekly plan. Then a daily plan. Some days it was: - 50 swings to left-center. - 50 swings up the middle. - 50 swings to right-center. Other days it was: - Dry swings. - Push-ups. - Sit-ups. - Sprints. - Up-downs. Every week, we'd sit back down together. We'd look at the plan. Keep what was working. Change what wasn't. We repeated that process for years. Eventually... I played in the Major Leagues. Because here's one thing I learned from my dad: Dreams don't become reality because you have a vision. They become reality because you have a plan. Most players have goals. Very few have a system for reaching them.

Baseball is a game of failure. The best hitters fail 7 out of 10 times. You can throw a perfect pitch and still give up a hit. Sometimes your best swing finds a glove. Sometimes your worst swing finds grass. The scoreboard doesn't always tell the truth. Confidence isn't built by success. It's built by surviving failure. Baseball doesn't build character. It reveals it. Pressure doesn't create you. It exposes your preparation. Body language is part of your scouting report. Your teammates are always watching. Your coaches are always watching. Someone is always watching. The game owes you nothing. Every strikeout is a choice: Feel sorry for yourself... or get ready for your next at-bat. Failure is inevitable. Your response is your career.

the turnaround has been so fun to watch

don't know about you, but we're feeling 22

Just finished up my college baseball career last month, so I figured I would share some advice I wish I knew before I started my college career. These are based on my opinions and experiences, so if you disagree with some of these feel free to share your opinion.
