Coach Harrison - NOAH Jaguars

#TalonsUp @baseball_oc @NOAHJagsBsbl

NOAH Baseball would like to congratulate junior Bray Harrison for his commitment to continue his baseball career at Oklahoma Christian University. #noahjaguarsbaseball #committed

HS Baseball Players ⚾️ There will come a time when everyone on the field is as good as u are, or better... how can u separate? • Work harder • Be early, to everything • Run harder • Practice tighter • Listen better • Study longer • Commit longer • Professional attitude

CONT: 7. If you do nothing but look at your phone unless your player is at the plate.

And finally: 6. If your players "Good Try" is everyone else's error and the reason your kid should be playing over them. Congrats, you are part of the problem with high school baseball.

CONT... 4. Look around at the people you sit with. If you're a complainer about the coach, playing time, the way your baby gets treated. Chances are you're sitting with like minded toxicity. 5. You think you're player batting 0 for 30 should be in the lineup...cont

Ways to know if you're that parent. 1. Are you mad when your player is not in the game? 2. Are you only cheering when your player is on the mound, in the field, or at the plate hitting? 3. Do you make statements about other players that you don't make about your player?...cont

PARENTS: There is nothing more toxic to the culture of a program than parents who only care about their players' success.

I would ABSOLUTELY do these things if I had to go thru the recruiting process again: (Most of them are things I did do - Dead sprinting onto the field every time- was an absolute for me)

Be a leader, or willing to be led. Anything in between destroys teams and organizations.

Hitters Refuse to strikeout. Spread out, choke up, take the plate away, grit your freaking teeth, and compete. It's a competition. It's you vs the man on the mound. It's personal.

A solid double from last nights game @NOAHJagsBsbl @JagsCoachCall @oleshackdaddy @coachmack254 @oc_cobble @CoachJordan2 @ParkerFrazier8 @ORUFolmar @ORUcoachNeill

NOAH's varsity defeated Claremore Tuesday night, 13-3 on the road. Sophomore righthander Ethan Arant threw a complete game, earning his second win of the season as he fanned 8 Zebras and only allowed four hits through six innings in a run-rule contest.

1/ Data on recruiting * College baseball isn't for everyone * Only a select few get the opportunity * Everyone wants to play at a D1 program Ask yourself: Am I working like the top 2%?

Most pitchers fly through their bullpen without any focus or thought. THIS is what it looks likes to have intention behind each pitch.

Most players think they are D1 quality. The truth of the matter is, only 18% of college baseball players play at the D1 level. Today, I want to show you what a D1 pitcher actually looks like. How hard do they throw? How do their pitches move? What are their stats? But remember, you want to go to a school where you are going to play. So, I’ll also show you what the average D1 pitcher looked like that threw 50+ innings in 2023. Let’s begin. The picture below shows you what the average right handed pitcher looks like from a velocity and movement standpoint. Keep in mind, these movement numbers are likely slightly off due to the inconsistency in calibration and systems at each school. MLB average induced vertical break is around 16”. Now lets look at left handed pitchers. There is a slight decrease in velocity, but everything else is roughly the same. Lets move onto the statistics. This chart breaks down the average D1 pitcher and power 5 conference pitcher, as well as pitchers that threw 50 innings or more. Surprise, surprise. Pitchers that threw 50 innings or more had better stats and velocity. While there are always outliers to velocity and stuff, it is important to know how you stack up. Most high school players have a D1 or bust mindset. While it is good to have goals, don't let the division of the school be your main driver. Go somewhere where you are going to be developed and have an opportunity to compete for meaningful innings. I hope this information was helpful and gives you a better idea of what a D1 pitcher looks like. If you enjoyed this post, you'll love my newsletter, The Monday Mound Visit.
