Not sure it’s possible to Love a kid more than I love our guy Tavarius. Never missed a practice/game and was invested in the squad with his whole heart and soul. We are all better because T wanted to be a part of the ride. When it ends it’s always too soon.
QUIT 👏 CUTTING 👏 BASEBALL 👏 PROGRAMS 👏 FROM 👏 SCHOOLS!!!
Those players and coaches have been through enough for one semester. Don’t say it’s a money thing that’s an old tired narrative that didn’t pop up when this started in March.
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Besides My Wife/My Family I'm not sure anyone believed in me more than him. It's a tremendous loss for our Community, School, and Athletic Program. In our profession there aren't many that were built like JW.
The other day I parked in front of this building at 10am and heard guys hitting. Left to get lunch at 12 more hitting. Walked my wife to her car at 2, more hitting. Left my class 4:05 and still hitting going on. Success is not an accident it’s a creature of habit
My sincerest thanks to all that came along for the ride. Your support is what makes the pain of this profession manageable even on the toughest of days.

Just got off of work and just now walking in to the cage to start a late night hitting session... you can make excuses or you can get to work.
Away from the more Traditional look but definitely a nod to the Throwbacks of the 70’s. A kid said it was our “Color Rush” Uniform so if they like em’ then I like em’. Felt good to be happy about something today.
Was once told by one coach about another coach
“He lost football games because he let multi sport guys go to their second sport instead of doing offseason”
That coach is coaching in the state championship game tonight. Good luck and keep doing right by kids.
In an interview before game 1 I heard Eovaldi thank 2 people for helping him get to this point, His dad, and his high school coach. I wish people could truly comprehend how much a high school coach is willing to do for his players to see them succeed. It just takes trust.
Nathan Eovaldi just had one of the greatest Postseasons we’ve ever seen by a pitcher.
5-0 (In 6 starts)
2.95 ERA
36.2 IP
41 Ks
Won clinching game of the World Series
He is also the first pitcher to win 5 games in a single Postseason.
10 years of marriage today and not a day goes by that I don’t realize how lucky I am. I wouldn’t be who I am without

by my side. She brings truth to the phrase “my better half”so here’s to the next 10 and many more. Happy Anniversary to the best Wife on earth
Had our Groundbreaking This Evening for Building our First Home. Thank You Mr Harper at Silverado Signature Homes for helping us Turn our Dream in to a Reality. Foundation set next week, Estimated move in July 2019.
Steve Hutcherson grew up playing baseball in the Houston area, so when Crosby High School offered him its head baseball coach position, it was an offer too good to refuse.
Congratulations to
@CHHS_baseballs
on the amazing accomplishment of winning the 5A State Championship. One of the main things I was able to take from the rivalry with GHS was a huge respect and appreciation for the Staff and the Players on the other side. Great Job Fellas!
@_onemustang
It is not the final day of season that defines a champion but everything that leads up to that moment. I’m speechless over the heart and grit that GHS showed today The pride we all feel as Mustangs you and the girls have allowed us to tag along on 1 amazing journey.
Happy Anniversary to the Woman that fills my life with so much joy it’s hard to even put in to words. Thank you for being who you are and for helping me be the man I want to be. Here’s to many more years of Love and Happiness together
@Kristi_Hutch
If you’re in the state of Tx tonight and felt a shockwave, don’t be alarmed it was just
@ghsmustanghoops
and
@GHSLADYMUSTANGS
going on the road for two huge wins!
Can’t even begin to describe how good it makes me feel when guys that used to shake my hand when they saw me now go in for a hug. Hope they know their impact on me is far greater than mine on them. Enjoyed getting to see and talk to
@neumanconnor
making
@Gvinebaseball
proud.
One of the best feelings in coaching when your former players that are now college guys ask you “Coach, my swing doesn’t feel great would you mind throwing to me a little and working on it with me?” They trusted me then and they still trust me now.
Scared me to death! I hear sprinting in the house out of nowhere. I thought something happened. Nope. Someone’s new baseball shoes came in. “Do these make look fast”. This dude 🤦🏽♀️
@CoachHutch16
Was watching 2019 LSU vs Vanderbilt this morning and a commercial for the CWS came on and I teared up... needless to say I couldn’t keep it together for something as powerful as this. Made my 2020 thanks so much to everyone. Love each and every one of you.
Parents and players decided to spread a bit of Easter Cheer today.
@CoachHutch16
was beyond surprised and honored!
What a blessing to be surrounded by such a loving baseball community.
A huge thankful to everyone involved in making this happen!

Unfortunately there are times in life we get perspective the day after we actually need it. Today 24 guys showed up and supported a teammate in a time of need. It was a rough last 3 days but the pride I have in these young men today is immeasurable. Love our guys, they get it.
Been in the same line of work since he was 18, Coached me as long as he could growing up, best Dad and example a son could have on how to be a man and work hard for everything you have in life. Nobody deserves to experience the
@TheMasters
more than my Dad. So happy for him.
This morning these two guys signed for their future U.S.Military Service. That commitment shows their willingness to do anything and everything for each of us that live in this great Country. A simple thank you would never be enough for everything they are willing to sacrifice
Time really does fly when you’re having fun. Feels like yesterday we took our engagement pictures. Happy Anniversary
@Kristi_Hutch
I love making memories with you and look forward to all the ones still to come.
I hope our players understand. It’s like having 55 sons that you can’t let down. My HS Coach walked in a house a lot of our team was at because he thought we may be having a party. We weren’t, but that was the moment I knew he loved us. That has never left me.
Days like today make anything we do on the field totally irrelevant. Huge Thanks to Our Entire GHS Baseball Program for their Generosity towards our GHS Baseball Santa to help a local Grapevine Family in Need this Holiday Season. Thanks to our Seniors for helping deiver the gifts
Started my day before sunrise getting ticked about how we do hang clean… About five minutes later it was like God was telling me “Chill out, they’re here, they’re working hard, and they’ll get there.”
I would like to announce my candidacy to be the next commissioner of Major League Baseball. When trying to figure out what my strength as a commissioner would be I came up with this:
I LIKE BASEBALL... LIKE ALOT!!!
Pretty sure I got that going for me unlike the current commish.
Congratulations to
@kwalkcoach
on being Named the Next Ad/Head Football Coach at Liberty Hill HS. Pride in the program and the community will be on full display every day.
Oh yeah and he’s one of the smartest kids in the school… but his baseball ability and his grades still have nothing on the quality of person he is overall and everything he brings to our program. We’re blessed to have him.
Cole Jefferson was born with a hearing impairment, but it hasn't stopped him from being one of the best players on the Liberty Hill baseball team and one of the best students at the school. His story tonight at 9:30 on Beyond the Sport.

If the season ends tomorrow,self evaluation begins instantly. There are several things we’d do differently but do-overs don’t exist. I think about this quote at the end of every year
“If you want to make everyone happy, don’t be a leader, sell ice cream.” — Nick Saban.
Make the best of a bad situation. If you break down in Rogers, America play a little wall ball, eat some snacks, and wait for the new bus to show. We’ll take all the time with this group we can get.

Happy Birthday to an amazing wife, an incredible teacher, and the best dog mom there is. The only thing that goes beyond the way you care for others, is the way you care for me. Have a great day
@Kristi_Hutch
you deserve it more than anyone.
Well the only thing that still gives us life was a win and it was a memorable one. Not sure how we made it past the 4th inning but proud of our resilience and ability to adapt under poor conditions.

13 Years ago today we were married and we’ve had an amazing journey every day since. Every person should be so lucky to find someone so special you can’t figure how you existed before them. Here’s to many more side by side with the woman that makes me whole,
@Kristi_Hutch
She devotes her life to helping her students
She Drives all over Creation alone to watch the Mustangs Play
She never asks what’s in it for her
It’s hard to describe how amazing she is and how lucky I am.
@Kristi_Hutch
Happy Valentines Day
Thank You For Being You!
Congratulations to the
@Gvinebaseball
class of 2018. We laughed together, cried together, and fought guys will do great things and now that you are graduates you are more than former players, you are our friends. Good Luck in all that you do!
Been so extremely blessed to coach great kids from great families and work alongside some of the best coaches our profession has to offer. My wife has supported me and allows me to pour everything in to “our” kids. Thanks to everyone for making 250 special now on to the next one.
Proud Coach’s Wife! 🥰
Thank you to the LH Panther Baseball Boosters for recognizing
@CoachHutch16
tonight.
This is his passion and he wouldn’t choose any other profession over coaching!
To make things even better, we finished the night off with a district win!
Long day at the field but a great day at the field. Practice from 10-Noon/lunch break,then a 7 inning inter-squad. Always one of my favorite days of the year. With all of the good still one of my favorite parts was watching the lead up to stretch at 10 AM sharp
@TSROGERS11
The day started with 2 HS Guys fulfilling a dream and ended with a reminder of what makes Coaching so great. Not every day is easy but getting this text re-ignited that fire to keep pushing guys to chase their dreams.The ones that really get it will love you through it all.
Year 20 begins tomorrow morning. The nerves/excitement never go away with each new year. This year will be slightly different outside of the classroom but the opportunity to work alongside a friend and continue to impact kids through coaching feels just like day 1.
As we enter the last few hours of 2017 I often pinch myself to make sure this is actually the life I am getting to live. Great Wife, Great Family, Work for Great Kids, and Work with Great People. Happy New Year. May 2018 bring the same joy to all of us. God Bless!
Appreciation post for my Amazing Wife. Attended the ABCA Convention, watched every speaker I saw, Calmed me down from trying to de-board because of a claustrophobic meltdown, and for all of this her only request was to go to the Dolly Parton themed bar our last night there.
Happy Birthday to the woman that makes the bad days still feel good, the good days feel great, and the great days feel like a dream. Hope it’s a great one
@Kristi_Hutch
nobody deserves it more than you.
Proud to be a part of the
@GHSMustangGolf
program and that they make me feel so appreciated. Both Boys and Girls teams have amazing players and even better kids. What a great banquet and celebration of the girls Back to Back State Championships.
I could never thank the LH Panther Baseball Boosters enough for allowing me to attend the 2022 ABCA Convention. If you wonder why I’m so passionate about what I teach, it’s easy… I probably just stole it from one of the best coaches on the planet at the ABCA Convention.
Congratulations to
@nickpierce_
on his North Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association (NTHSBCA) All Star Team selection. Nick will represent Grapevine High School and will play in the NTHSBCA All Star game at Grand Prairie High School on Monday, June 11th at 7:00pm.

on achieving their goal of playing at the next level. Two great kids that worked hard and will now get to live out a life long dream.
Went and picked up lunch for my wife so she could “eat lunch with her students”. She said one of their favorite things when in school is to eat lunch together, today she made that happen. Not all heroes wear capes.
Made it to Nashville early for the
@ABCA1945
Convention and couldn’t wait any longer to come look at one of my favorite places in the Country. One day I’ll make it here when there’s a game going on. Excited to hear the speakers this year and get better for

If people think summer baseball/basketball/volleyball tournaments are what might cause a delay in returning to school and/or fall sport they’re delusional. Just plain frustrating man.

is because of Augie Garrido he is the coach I aspire to be. I’m clearly not him and no one will ever be but if you aspire to be like one of the greatest to ever live maybe you’ll end up being pretty good. RIP in Augie no one will ever do it better
The more I watch football coaches interactions with referees on the sideline the more I think baseball needs 15 yard flags for arguing. Instead I had to do a 6 hour online anger management course for telling an umpire we needed to know the count. Go figure.
I am a Christian educator and coach. If you are in education or coaching, and you are a believer, I encourage you to copy+paste and post this. Our young people are watching, and they need us more than ever.
Played our last scrimmage last night, first real game is next Thursday so after our Saturday morning lift, we took a field trip to the Disch. Enjoyed some beautiful weather and watched some college baseball. We love these guys and spent a great afternoon together.
@LibertyHillBB
Happy Birthday to my amazing Wife
@Kristi_Hutch
To say I am lucky is an understatement. How she cares not only for me, but for everyone around her makes every day with her special. Have a great one and here’s to many more
Coolest moment of watching tonight’s Super Bowl is knowing that the shoes being worn by Jason Pierre-Paul were created by one of Varsity Pitchers (Lane Rybarski). An very talented young man and extremely humble about his work.
Part of me wonders what in the world are we doing? The other part of me and the part that matters more says these guys get it. Be selfless and do things you’re asked to do W/full involvement and show an extreme amount of pride in your school. Not great dancers but great kids.
Congratulations to
@coachbuescher
on finishing his masters.That M. Ed. after the name isn’t easy when putting 60-80 hour weeks during the fall and spring all while being a Father and Husband. Never Stop Learning. Now can someone please offer a masters in baseball so I can try?
Watched 6 games from Thursday-Yesterday and this was her idea today. To say I’m lucky is an understatement.
Appreciate all you do and who you are
@Kristi_Hutch
Watching these few extra innings tonight have made me realize one thing.... I cant wait for college baseball in 2021. Where all fundamentals of the game will come in to play in tight spots. Also where it’d be illegal to not have a 5’5 two hole not bunt w/a runner on 2b and 0 outs
Honored to be invited to dinner with the Grapevine Baseball class of 2018. As much success as they had in their high school athletic careers it’s just scratching the surface for the amount of success I know they will have in the rest of their lives.
No truer words have ever been written. Thank you to all of our baseball moms and a special thanks to My own Mother who is the greatest baseball mom there is.
It’s getting dusty in here 😭. I needed this more today than he could’ve ever known. Just remember when your tank is almost on empty as a Teacher someone still thinks you’re doing awesome. Congratulations
@Sam_Yujuico61
go attack this next phase of your life, you’ll be great!
Really Good Read on the Typical Day for a D1 Baseball Player. Probably consistent with DII, DIII, and NAIA. You can't just like the game, it has to be a borderline obsession.
