Rick Pitino is right. Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think. The practices. The games. The grind. One day… it’s all gone. Cherish every rep. Every moment. Every opportunity. Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

The truth about the baseball transfer portal: Players generally fall into 3 buckets: Exit meeting: asked to leave Exit meeting: mutually agreed to leave Exit meeting: elite player choosing a bigger opportunity or different path for themselves. 95%+ are #1 and #2. With 34-man rosters, yearly portal cycles, and constant roster upgrades, most players are not leaving because they “quit.” Coaches are moving on and players now finally have options instead of being trapped. Fans want elite rosters. Coaches want elite rosters. The portal is now part of how that gets built. So maybe stop harassing and spreading lies when a player hits the portal. Reality is you have no clue what the circumstances are.

Yesterday I wrapped up my college baseball career as well as my playing career. I was reflecting on some things that I wish I knew coming into college or somethings that I would tell younger players interested in playing college baseball. So here they are in no particular order⬇️

@balkwhisperer @JGelnar7 @HaroldRKuntz3 I’ll never understand why this is illegal in HS.

@JGelnar7 @HaroldRKuntz3 Smart. Illegal in high school.

Bobby Witt Jr. high IQ fake tag to likely save a run. May not matter, has been done before, but still to fool Herrera on a throw that wasn't even close .. well played.

We often mistake being serious with being dedicated. That's often not the case. We are our most dedicated when we are having fun and experiencing joy We often create teams and cultures devoid of joy in the misplaced notion that seriousness means we are more committed. It doesn't

Legit and consistent strike thrower for the past two years! 4 pitch mix that's all for strikes. Come get em!

He is really starting to figure it out and he’s going to keep hitting. Big guy has big time pop to all fields. A++ young man as well.

@CoachJeffLeach @LegKickNationOG Bring them back. I know I personally learned a ton, and still learn a ton, from those who were in the conversations, those who share(d) ideas, challenge(d) thinking and didn’t pick a side. Greatly appreciate those coaches!

@LegKickNationOG Political climate has its influence. You pick your tribe & it becomes your identity. The other side isn't just a difference of opinion. They're the bad guys. You don't take time to think. Pause to reconsider. You just dismiss or attack.

Does anyone talk hitting anymore? Or is it all just - I’m smart, you’re dumb. I’m “old” enough now to remember when dudes used to talk openly about different philosophies, different thoughts, cues whatever. Just dudes talking hitting whether they agreed or not.

#3 & #4 on the year. Keep hacking big man!

Last time playing at Mavs Ballpark and he made the most of it. Had always wanted to hit a bomb here and he finally got 2 today. Proud of you son!

When’s the last time a “recruiting advisor” gave their client a refund for their paid poor advice that cost their client money and opportunity?

@AlamoABB_Dan You should check out his numbers at Navarro this season.

SOLID pick up for UTSA BSB! Brock is at Navarro CC this season, but he had really good numbers from Perfect Game as a C/O ‘24 recruit!

Coaches of young hitters that chirp adjustments every miss: They don’t hear the substance of what you’re saying, good or bad. They only notice WHEN you talk. They notice that you instruct them every time they miss and say nothing when they hit it well. This sends the message that they are not allowed to miss and their new goal has become to hit every ball perfect. This is antithetical to baseball and a lack of prioritizing their development process. No one is expected to hit every baseball well, not even big leaguers. This is a concentration on the outcomes and worrying about winning games in the moment rather than the lasting improvement of your players.

What’s the easiest way to get your kid to quit video games??🤔 Listen to Eugene on what parents should NOT do during games and how to learn from failure🗣️

PLAYERS - READ BELOW 👇 @daniellelawrie5 - I absolutely love this!!

As my youngest son’s sophomore season ended, one of the big-name travel ball orgs dropped their new rankings I logged in to check his profile In his class they had him as the 8th-best catcher in the country No. 2 in Florida Not gonna lie I was a proud dad The following summer, we chose a different route No chasing invite-only events, no living on planes He spent the summer training Getting stronger Cleaning up his swing Catching better arms He played in just three tournaments, none of them affiliated with that ranking organization He played the best baseball of his life and earned a scholarship to a top‑25 D1 program That fall, out of curiosity, I checked his profile again Ranked No. 221 Did he really get that much worse? If he did, I never saw it Maybe 213 guys just “got better” Or maybe the formula changed He went on to have a great college career Conference and regional champ MVP of the Gainesville Regional His team came a couple of plays short of Omaha Then he got a couple of years in pro ball for good measure The ranking never predicted any of that The game still rewards work, toughness, and development more than any list ever will Rankings are a great marketing tool Not a great predictor of future success
