I want to thank everyone at Erskine for an amazing 2 years as part of their family. That being said, I am back in the sunshine state!
I’ve accepted an opportunity to return to
@HCCFL_Baseball
as pitching coach/RC, and I am also excited to join the staff at
@Kinetic_Pro
Recruiting thought (A THREAD): I believe D2 recruiting coordinators have the toughest recruiting job in college baseball (maybe outside of D3). This is nothing against RCs at other levels, as I know elite recruiters at every level of college baseball, but here is why:
This is obviously an awesome story and he’s a good player, watched him play last year. But let’s not act like D2 baseball is rec ball. He played at one of the top D2 programs in the country that had 2 draft picks last year.
I have accepted a new position as pitching coach at Erskine College! I want to thank my coaches at HCC for these last 3 years! I also want to thank Coach Crocco for this opportunity, and I am excited for this next chapter in my coaching career. Go Fleet!

Hard work is not just about doing an extra rep or running harder.
-Hard work is diligence in your nutrition.
-Hard word includes sleeping.
-Hard work is QUALITY of reps over quantity of reps.
-Hard work is self awareness and evaluation.
-Hard work is studying your craft.
Coaches should encourage their players to ask “Why?”. Their career is in your hands. Just because they’re asking you a question doesn’t mean they’re questioning you.
Looking forward to getting started this fall! Indy groups start tomorrow, and we are less than 3 weeks away from our first scrimmage of the fall!
Coaches, we have some talented uncommitted sophomores, don’t hesitate to reach out!

@ZachRedner
Truly enjoyed working with you and watching your development over the course of the year! Congratulations!
Our season ended a few days ago and it didn’t end the way we wanted. This was the most trying and stressful season I have been a part of. But, if I had any positive effect on these guys, helped them get closer to their goals and grow as men, that’s a win for me.

Walking into our locker room this morning around 6:30 AM and I hear some music on, only to find one of our guys foam rolling getting ready to go lift.
Oh, and our players don’t report back until Sunday. As a coach, if that doesn’t fire you up, idk what will.

I’ve always said December is the most important month in college baseball, especially for pitchers. Guys who call KP home have an objective way to build up their arm for the spring, along with a well-rounded, research driven training model.

Could not be more proud of this kid. Been a blast watching him compete these last 2 years. Would go to war with you any day of the week

Congrats

! Well deserved. Been a blast watching you compete this fall, can’t wait to see what your future holds.

Somebody is going to get a late steal here! Jacob is a plus defender and a true SS at any level. Kid can really pick it, good athlete and runs well. Leader in the locker room as well!
Any coaches with interest, please feel free to reach out for more information!
I am announcing that I will be reopening my recruitment and not attending Austin Peay State University for this up coming season. I am a RS Sophomore from HCC and looking for a 4 year home this fall with two years of eligibility.

Can’t stress this enough. YOU control your preparation. If your confidence only comes from your last performance, your season will be a complete roller coaster. You better be able to go to sleep every night knowing you prepared to the best of your ability that day.
Like all other 4 year schools, a player must wait until after his junior year to become draft eligible. Plus, with only 20 rounds, it has become harder for players to get drafted out of D2 programs, which is a shame, because there are PLENTY of pro-caliber players at the D2 level
Please send some prayers up for former Hurricane Devyn Newberry! He was in a car accident and is currently in the hospital. Also pray for his family and friends!
A thread: I posed a question to the
@A3_Trojans
pitching staff last week: What is the difference between intent and intensity?
The best answer: “Intent is the focus with which you do something, intensity is how hard you do it”
I would like to announce that I have committed to Bethune-Cookman University to further my Academic and Athletic career. I’m excited for this next chapter and ready to get to work!

Zach’s velo has been steadily climbing this spring, and he has been commanding 3 pitches, creating swing and miss w all 3. He is a weekend starter as a true freshman and will be a big time follow next fall! Pumped to watch him continue to develop!

A very sad day for the Prospect Wire Family 😔 It was a pleasure working with Jon and talking baseball with him. Rest In Peace Big Jon and prayers to his family 🙏🏼
It is with an extremely heavy heart that we share the sad news of the passing of a former long time PW west coast staffer Jon Zaborowski.
Jon was a staple at PW events for years. His positive attitude, selfless spirit and calming demeanor will be sorely missed.
RIP Big Jon 🙏🏼
Couldn’t be happier for this kid! Been fun watching you work this fall. Mason will be a workhorse and an immediate impact on the staff at Lynn next year! Congrats
@tinsley72
!
Moral of the story: With pitchers, low intensity days are important in terms of workload management and arm health. But low intensity days are not necessarily low intent days. You can still get better on low intensity days. The focus with which you do your work never changes.
Couldn’t be happier for this kid!! Been a pleasure to work with this fall, and work ethic is through the roof! Congrats
@LexSanchez_10
excited to see what you do this year and next year at USF!

Shortened spring training, trying to build his arm up over the right amount of time. They clearly set a limit for him going into the day and stuck to it. They know they’ll need him for the long haul this season. Dodgers did the right thing today.
Clayton Kershaw getting pulled from a perfect game through 7 innings is ultimately good for the game of youth baseball.
How many youth coaches and families just saw a big league team put a pitcher’s health, arm care and pitch count above all else? I think it’s a good thing.

Not the result we wanted, but we ran out of outs today with a 6-5 loss in the Championship Game.
Back at it Tuesday as we open up
@naaconference
play vs PDG!
Sports are a privilege, not a right. If you can’t do what you need to do in the classroom to be eligible then you’re no good to your team.
#STUDENTAthlete
RELIEF PITCHERS! Take pride in not allowing inherited runners to score. It’s not about your ERA. It’s about helping your team and the guy before you. If your name is called in that spot, it’s a compliment. You were trusted with a make or break moment.

@KVUE
So many people argue about the best way to develop hitters. I think there’s a lot of different ways that work and it’s different for every player. At the end of the day all that matters is results.
@CoachSmeal
@jaegersports
In my opinion, if travel ball starts up in end of May or June, not enough time to shut down and ramp back up.. so best off continuing to throw and stay on spring schedule in terms of getting on the mound.
Today I watched a scout start taking notes after our pregame meeting as the guys were coming back to the dugout from the outfield. BP and IO were long over. Something tells me those notes were not about 1 of the 5 tools.
