@CoachSwit and there are literally hundreds of kids just in this area like that who don't get a sniff when these programs in the Midwest & Northeast could come down here and load up.

@CoachSwit 2/3 meanwhile here in the Houston area, every big HS baseball program is 6-8 arms deep that sit 87 and most have a couple arms that are low-90s. We have 2 seniors who are mid-major D1 signees- one sits 88 and the other 92- they combined for 19.1 innings last spring.

For all the velocity experts out there… So are we saying the pitcher who throws 85 mph, commands the zone, and can land two off-speed pitches for strikes anytime has no chance of playing D1 baseball? Or are we pretending those guys don’t still get outs? Just wondering?

@anymanfitness Baseball will probably be the best sport for my oldest and don't know what level yet but he'll definitely play past HS. Youngest is more athletic at the same age but different mindset plus he's gotta hit puberty first before I'd project anything for him.

@anymanfitness Oldest attends a HS with 4100 kids in the Houston area that is a state-title contender in every sport except golf & tennis with multiple collegiate signees every year.

When I was in high school, I played against Austin Kearns. He had just been selected #7 in the MLB draft but was still playing summer ball with his amateur team. He was - by FAR - the best player I’ve ever seen. He looked like an alien the way he hit and fielded the ball. As a pro, he was a journeyman, a career .240 hitter. He wasn’t even “good” by pro standards. Professionals are on another level.

@ESPNRittenberg @mbpOn3 While A&M's history leaves a lot to be desired based on our resources, Penn State's history the last 30 years is one of beating also-rans and while getting beaten by any team in the top 25. They ain't Bama or Georgia or Ohio State of the last 30 years.

@mbpOn3 What do you mean dismisses? I mentioned him as a possibility for Penn State, someone the school absolutely should go after. Doesn't mean he will leave, and probably won't. Presenting the facts about the two programs in the last 30 years isn't being dismissive.

Guy watches LSU game in person. Talks to Elko. Dismisses A&M in condescending fashion five days later.

@JonahDispatch @LittleOlMe97 They have plenty of valid criticisms to make but when they choose to make an issue over a non-issue it degrades their credibility.

@LittleOlMe97 I think it’s the opposite problem. There are so many things to criticize that sometimes they criticize stuff they shouldn’t.

I think it’s fine for the president to go to the Super Bowl.

@baseball770 @shegone03 Those 6’ and 6’2” guys can still hit for the same average and have a high OBP but just by being bigger and stronger they’ll have a higher SLG and hit more nukes.

I only hit 26 HR’s during my career but I played at 5’9” 165 lbs and I was told by my coaches to hit line drives and ground balls and try to get on base for the Run Producers behind me. #shegone

@shegone03 @RealCJ10 The coach my boys work with stresses being confident, aggressive, and on-time. If you’re on time you give yourself a chance even if you have an imperfect swing. Plus, their goal is to always try to hit line drives between LC and RC.

Thank you Albert Pujols! Too much emphasis is being put on mechanics and the perfect swing. The best hitters focus on seeing the ball and getting the barrel to the contact point as quickly and efficiently as possible. The rest will take care of itself. #shegone @RealCJ10 @JLucroy20 @JEdmonds15 @mikepiazza31 @WillClark22 @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @ROXSystem @BLocsports @DMEASrecruiting @TheRealJHair @SalMarinello @RVGDag

@shegone03 @uTeeBaseball @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @SalMarinello @RVGDag @Chapel14Billy @ChrisNowak83 @Fiveframeswing @forcefulhitting @OldBoiStudios So because Frazier got fooled on an off speed pitch and put an awkward swing on the ball, but still made contact, then the firm front side is wrong? Such bullshit and ignores basic physics and biomechanics. With HLP that would be a complete whiff on the pitch.

Take it from the hitting expert #tragicron lil richie’s bff. You win the DUMB DUMB award for today @uTeeBaseball 🤦#shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @SalMarinello @RVGDag @Chapel14Billy @ChrisNowak83 @Fiveframeswing @forcefulhitting @OldBoiStudios

@ChrisOsterman @Chandler_Rome What do you mean ”they didn’t try?” the organization made him the best offer he’s gotten. For all he’s done, Bregman ain’t worth what he wants to get and what Boras told him he could get. The Astros have done a great job. Thank Breggy for the memories and go get OF help.

@Chandler_Rome So it was all a PR charade to make it look like they gave it another go because the locker room was upset they didnt REALLY try.

During his address at the team's annual media luncheon, Dana Brown twice spoke about Alex Bregman in the past tense, saying once that the team "lost Bregman."

@MoccBomb Multiple sources = Scott Boras burner phones.

Sources: Alex Bregman market has begun to “heat up” have heard from multiple people he may end up signed by the end of this week. #Cubs #RedSox #BlueJays #Tigers are all in. Hearing #Cubs and #RedSox have been most aggressive in recent days. #MoccBomb

@CoachSwit Kids in Houston refusing to wear anything but shorts & t-shirts in 40-degree weather but then roll out in a thick hoodie, with the hood up when it’s 100-degrees in the summer. SMDH

Hey y’all, Brady is raising funds for Summer Creek HS baseball. If you can help, every bit helps. verticalraise.com/fundraiser/202…

@astros2127 @GatorDrew352 Rubio did play in HS and had 3 offers from D1 (G5) programs.

@GatorDrew352 Bronny was a highly coveted draft prospect until his medical scare, this kid didn't play in high school. There's a huge difference

He’s a walk on that gets absolutely no playing time besides being up big in a bowl game for 3 minutes. Now do bronny James … I’ll wait I got some time.

December 10, 2024 - huge milestone at 6.5 months. @orthosport just cleared me for all sports activities with no restrictions. Keep up the grind. And checked in at 6’1” 195#. @CoachKRHarrison @CoachWilson35 @SCHS_Baseball1 @SC_BulldogFB @TexasFootwork @Sowell33

Cage bombs don’t count but working to bring them to games. 1% better every day. @Sowell33 @CoachWilson35 @BeauBurleson @SCHS_Baseball1

@ChamberofFit Thoughts on use for teens? Say as young as 13-14?

Creatine is not a steroid. It’s the one supplement everyone should be taking You, your mom, dad, siblings, and especially your grandparents. Give me 2 minutes & I’ll tell you about the benefits + how to supplement it properly:
