My college baseball career was riddled with velo plateaus and regression that progressively got worse, and I never understood why. By my senior year, my FB averaged 86.8mph. Today it averages 92.4. For proof, here's me grunting 89 in 2024 compared to my last velo day in 2026.🧵

Luke Gabrysh (@TrentonThunder '24) is getting the Opening Day start for the @BlueClaws! ⚡️🦀 Selected in the 15th round of '24 by the @Phillies, he struck out 23 through 12.2 innings with a 1.42 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and .136 BAA in the #MLBDraftLeague.

RHP Luke Gabrysh grew up in Wilmington, pitched at St. Joe's, and buys his cheesesteaks at Dalessandro's. He was mere feet away from Harper's G5 NLCS home run in 2022. Now, as a Phillies minor leaguer, he's adjacent to his baseball heroes. "It's crazy" inquirer.com/phillies/luke-…

You’re not going to see many performances like what 2026 OF Alex Weingartner put together today. 60: 6.24 (#Super60 record) Max EV: 107.5 Max Distance: 424ft. OF Velo: 100 @PennStateBASE commit. #Super60 || @ShooterHunt @PrepBaseballNJ

It is said that the bison is the only animal to turn and face a storm. To get through the blizzard faster. To not hide. To face difficult times head on. To meet the moment. For the moment is all we have.

This was one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced in my entire life…..

Practice, but make it retro

See a lot of people laughing at Cruz for being this fired up getting out of that 7th inning because of the hard hit final out He came in with 1st+2nd nobody out in the 7th inning of a playoff game and got out of it Kick rocks if his emotion bothers you

You can give your best and lose. You can try out and not make the team. You can write the book and nobody reads it. You can pitch your idea and get rejected. You can interview and not get the job. There are no guarantees. Show up anyway.

The Captain of the Week presented by @officialeague is Ryan Cesarini 🏆 The Captains outfielder had an exceptional week at the plate, ranking top-5 in the MWL in RBI (7, T-3th) and hits (7, T-5th), as well as top-10 in TB (11, T-8th), home runs (1, T-8th), and runs (4, T-10th).

What a pro-debut for Cleveland #Guardians 21yr old RHP prospect Will McCausland who struckout five of the six Delmarva batters he faced tonight for (Low-A) Lynchburg over two scoreless innings of work! Line - 2.0(IP) 0H 0R 0ER 0BB 5SO (33 Pitches 21 Strikes) #GuardsBall

This is awesome.

What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for. what a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. what a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. what a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.

A man who is willing to suffer in order to win is a man who will never lose.
