Showcase and College Baseball

I watched my son @Evanlewis35 walk to the top of a D1 pitching mound for the first time. It took him 4 years to throw his first D1 pitch, and he earned 2-D1 scholarships. Why so long? 3 surgeries (UCL brace, olecranon break (elbow), and a bone spur. He went to Louisana Tech after leaving HS. He pitched in the D1 Junior College World Series for @GCRhinosBSB & committed to @DelawareBASE. 2 weeks at DE, he broke his elbow. I’ve never seen a person work so hard for their dream. I want to congratulate my son and thank the University of Delaware coaches who believed in his dream. @CoachMamsUD

@CoachSwit @rylanphotog @coach_garcia22 We find that people on social media aren’t talking about what’s happening with the umpires and the top college divisions. Strikes out are tighter. They’re evaluated on our strikes and balls through TrackMan. Don’t perform, you don’t move up. Strikes out are tighter.

@CoachSwit @rylanphotog @coach_garcia22 Takeaway: Despite the "velocity craze" we see on social media, the average D1 arm isn't suddenly throwing 95. We are seeing more outliers, but the median remains steady. The same goes for control—despite the emphasis on "stuff," walk rates aren't skyrocketing or plummeting.

A very blunt Pat Hallmark after the team's loss to Texas-Arlington: "It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed to be the coach tonight. The pitchers should be embarrassed to put 16 people on base with a lot of people here, a lot of kids at the ballpark. I feel bad for [the kids], quite frankly. "I don't love losing, but I can lose if I feel like you just beat me up with the bat. I don't like losing with the walk, so I won't sleep very well tonight."

@11point7 @AStateBaseball Coach Silva!

Arkansas State takes game 1 vs Southern Miss 🔥🔥🔥 Red Wolves FIRST EVER win over Southern Miss. Fun Belt!

@JLucroy20 @RaginCajunsBSB We recorded this interview with Plaud AI. We then put it into a short outline and posted it on our Facebook group with 110,000 followers. It was the best baseball speech that we ever listened to. Informative and to the point.

I played for this man for 3 years. He came to my wedding and traveled to watch me play in the big leagues many times. He gave me a D1 scholarship when no one else wanted a 5-11 175lb catcher from Florida. He meant more to me than any other coach I’ve ever played for, and that is saying a lot. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the mental toughness, mentality, or grit this game demands of you in order to play at this baseballs highest level. I have a quote I like to tell my players. “If you don’t like it, play better.” The game of baseball is strictly merit based. You have to earn it. Even at the youth level. Ages 12 and below, I’m good with everyone playing and learning the game. Above that age, then you have to earn your spot. There is a point where the player has to choice to work for it, or not. Puberty is the time that it generally happens in my opinion. As a side note, if your kid isn’t the best player when he’s 12, don’t panic. Development takes time, and once puberty hits, the physical change happens quick. RIP Coach Robe.

Mississippi folks have been in my comments saying I need to head to Starkville for a big game They claim it’s one of the best atmospheres in all of sports Mississippi State is 10-0 to start the year Should I go?

@meganmurraytv @LaTechReport Get on the wagon!

"I'm kind of speechless to be honest with you. I'm embarrassed...I'm not taking anything away from Southern Miss. They're really good. I don't care who you're playing. It's about as embarrassed as I've been." For the first time since 2014, Louisiana Tech gets run-ruled by a non-conference team at home with an 11-0 loss to Southern Miss. The only good news is the last two series against the Golden Eagles the Diamond Dogs came back after dropping the first two games to win the finales. @LATechBSB @LATechSports @SouthernMissBSB @LaneBurroughs23 @KNOE8

@OverdueSports @SemperCaninus @CollegeBSBShow

Mississippi State Head Coach Brian O’Connor raves about the options and depth his club on both sides of the ball “If you’re a starter or every day player, you better not give any at-bats away, because there’s guys breathing down your neck who want to play more”

@Evanlewis35 took the longest walk of his life at Mississippi State! Bases loaded & one out! Gets the double play w/ the sinker. 3 elbow surgeries and this young man still got to the top of this mound & he did it at the “Dude” #prouddad @GCRhinosBSB
