LHP Alex Versheldon (@Howell_Baseball, 2026) is an athletic, talented uncommitted senior to know in Missouri. Up to 88 mph yesterday, pitched in the mid-80s on a cold day. Spun short, tight SL at 73-76 mph. @AVersheldon25

Avoiding problems just guarantees a future of bigger problems

The goal of bunting should be a hit or at least putting pressure on defense to make a difficult play not to give up an out.

Most important aspect of consistent, successful bunting is the stance. Step one in the stance sets the body up for success or failure. Details matter.

One of the biggest mistakes bunters make is trying to adjust to the pitch by moving the bat instead of moving the body. More bat movement leads to less successful bunts

Had a great time bunting with @DuchesneBasebal - great programs are always looking for ways to get better.

Talented, athletic arm in Missouri’s 2026 class from powerhouse @howell_baseball re-opens his recruitment. Has been upper-80s to low-90s this winter. 👍👇 @AVersheldon25

After talks with my family and people close to me, I have decided to decommit from Missouri S&T and reopen my recruitment. I am appreciative of the opportunity, but excited for what the future holds. @howell_baseball @PrepBaseballMO @DeegsBaseball @NickHerrinsAs

Any Missouri high school program interested in a buntMAsTer stance mat - I have a couple left. Great station for indoor practices- like when it’s supposed to rain all week.

🚨 DAVE RAMSEY JUST CALLED ONLINE SPORTS BETTING A “PORTAL TO HELL” Dave Ramsey says FanDuel and DraftKings are quietly wiping out an entire generation of young men, and it’s not by accident. Back-to-back ads. Every game. Every break. Every platform. They spend BILLIONS because they know the math: you don’t win. If you were winning, they couldn’t afford the ads. This isn’t entertainment. It’s digital slot machines aimed straight at 20 year old men with dopamine loops, debt cycles, and quiet financial destruction. If it’s “just fun,” why did it need to be legalized, normalized, and shoved in your face nonstop?

Abigail Shrier: "The number one symptom of depression is rumination, pathologically obsessing over your pain. Getting out of your house and accomplishing anything is good for you, sitting around, talking and thinking about your problems is a bad habit."
