Summer League Baseball

@ThrillaRilla369 REAL

My grandpa told me that in the old days, TV channels would stop broadcasting around midnight. They'd play the national anthem and then go completely off air until morning. Is that real, or is he messing with me?

I am throughly convinced I could take a group of JC kids that were missed and win a DII conference. Not enough recruiters have the ability to get it right. That's why you see people bringing in 75 players in the fall.

@KendallRooneyD1 It's like a flea market there are some good deals amongst a lot of junk.

You know the transfer portal is legit when a D2 RHP creates an X account just very recently, tweets 1 bullpen video of him 92-94 and there’s 50 D1 coaches following him in just a couple days. You gotta do what you gotta do 😂

@MaggieMrowka I am an old friend of your dad's from GA. I know he's so proud for you.

Sorry I wasn’t out recruiting this weekend- had some pretty big plans I couldn’t miss!! See y’all at our December 6 camp… 🥰

I challenge everyone to go to a high school game, a jc game, NAIA JV gam, NAIA, DII, DIII, Mid Major and P4 game this season and just evaluate where we are in college baseball. People get on here and throw out opinions and only see 1 variant.

@Jjeanes24 Is it great pitching or are good hitters harder to find?

By the looks of these heat sheets the country’s combined ERA should be substantially lower than last year. #WeCanHope #BringBackPitching

We are seeing 2 versions of a transfer portal. We have the kid that has played his way up and the kid that has played his way down. You need to be an expert evaluator to thrive in transfer portal. It's like a flea market there's some good deals and a bunch of junk.

@CoachSwit Mostly the ones that are not good enough

Everyday on my feed I see players saying due to unforeseen circumstances I am looking for a new place to play college baseball. Seems like a ton of players have no place to play since fall is now over.

@CoachSwit To be honest it should be less. Just go look at college games across the board from JC , NAIA, DII, DIII, even some DI there is a severe lack of quality play and depth.

Only about 7% of High School Athletes make a College Roster and less then 2% make it onto a D1 roster. Parents let that sink in.

@nickstrong Let me ask you this? What would you do if you were a high school coach and let's say your better players were going to DII Nova? You have to build that brand and to do that you need to beat Keiser, Nova, St Thomas etc in Varsity games. It's just growing pains ole buddy

JUST FUNNY TO ME WHEN HS COACHES REACH OUT TO ME ABOUT TRYING TO GET THEIR LAST PLAYER SIGNED BUT DIDNT REACH OUT TO ME TO GET THEIR 1ST PLAYER STARTING PITCHER SIGNED. NAHHHH......CALL THAT NCAA D2 B/C CLEARLY HE CAN PLAY THERE IF YOU THINK HE CAN START FOR ME. YALL ARE CRAZY!

We will have a zoom for parents and players Sunday 6:30 PM us06web.zoom.us/j/85363041067?…

@cakridge27 @TreadAthletics I have never been a fan of shut downs. Playing catch and long toss should go on year round. Shut down mound work. Think about it this way. If you sit on the couch 4-6 weeks are you prepped to go run a sprint? Muscles need work to gain strength in my opinion

@TreadAthletics I’ve been thinking on this lately. Just curious what you quantify as an “extended” shutdown. Thinking of HS kids who pitch spring HS season then summer and fall w/travel (Jan-Sept/Oct).

Off-season shutdown periods for pitchers.🤔 I'm definitely not in the "pitch competitively year-round" camp, but extended shut-downs do NOT play nice with a large % of pitchers' shoulders. It's not uncommon for guys who finish the season healthy (with zero shoulder pain) to present with biceps tendinitis, capsular issues, and general shoulder discomfort when ramping back up (even with conservative on ramps). While the exact mechanisms remain unclear (anterior capsular stiffening, etc.), what is clear to me is that going many weeks or multiple months without picking up a ball is often not tolerated well. A couple of weeks off followed by light backyard catch a few times per week seems to limit this phenomenon in most of the guys I've spoken to or coached. Shutdowns are an individual and context-specific decision, but keep in mind that a deload, rather than a total shutdown, remains an option.
