Nobody stormed the field when we won our district championship, this year which was kinda odd/ surreal. They shook hands like it was Game 3 of the season. Thatโ€™s when I knew we had a legit shot to win the last game of the season. This is our final win.

If I only gave indoor lessons for a fee & never coached in live, meaningful games, perhaps I too would tell people bunting is dumb.

We cut a freshmen last year on JV. Maybe it was a large/competitive class, maybe we got it wrong, but... maybe it fueled him to work harder & get better. Putting assumptions aside -he came back out this year, made JV and got called up to pitch VAR this week - two shutout innings.

Rainey was not sitting in the corner pouting or slamming equipment because he had a bad night on the mound. Instead; heโ€™s genuinely pumped his teammate, and team pitched out of a jam.

I've never had a college coach ask me if a HS Player was named All State, let alone All-Region or All-District. Nor have they ever asked if a player was honored in a weekend tournament (PG Tourney team, etc). Play Hard & Play to Win.. and you'll get noticed.

I donโ€™t know how other programs do it, but Sophia rolls ground balls to infielders, flips balls to us for OF fungo, feeds the hack attack, films batters during games, charts QPA & times pitchers to the plate. Itโ€™s not least bit clichรฉ to say, we couldnโ€™t have done it without her.

A HS pitcher @ 87+mph w/ below average control will still get ample appearances in showcase because it attracts scouts. But the the HS pitcher @ 81mph w/better command will get MORE appearances on his HS team cuz HS coaches are not attracting scouts; they are hunting for "Wins"

If you consider yourself a high level player; the assumption is that you were working harder than others 45 days ago. But; if your training plan for today/this week still mirrors what you did 45 days ago; you're now falling behind. Start Ramping it up & challenging yourself.

1 of top 5 hitters on State Championship team, but he started the year on JV. -He never complained to staff or asked about not playing VAR. -Parents never asked for meeting about why not VAR. He just competed & earned his way. This skinny dude w/long levers is gonna be a DUDE.

After reviewing tryout evals & years past too, I'm convinced the best way for players to stand out is to take strength training seriously in 8th & 9th grade. Obviously, important for old kids too; but game changer 14U-16U. Private lessons are good but strength is "more" important

Heard of 11u & 12u pitch count issue last weekend. Shocking; so, here's crude guide for 13u: 95 - not ideal 100 - hope it was big weekend, cuz it's a lot 105 - not advisable 110 - Red Flag 115 - Hope you have good medical insurance 120 - U joking!? 125 -WTF 130 - Leave team

We've had college coaches at 5 of our games this year (D1 each time + D3 other night). Not sure everyone on our own roster even know it, let alone opposing teams. Simply gives credence to the old adage, "you never know who's watching." #PlayHard #FirstImpressionsMatter

Arneja batted .412 w/ .525 OB% during our postseason run (Districts, Regional, States). @VBCA2018 All Star GM tonight, he got on base every time, had basehit, SB, & 2R. Great way to close out HS career @ShawnArneja

A good defensive first basemen is worth their weight in Gold! But theyโ€™re sometimes forgettable UNTIL it matters; much like the spare tire in your trunk or box of band aids in your cabinet; all a necessity @ critical moments. Keep hitting, but carve practice time to #Pick -It!

Typically on a rainy Friday @ 1PM, I'd be back & forth w/ my AD discussing playing surface & reschedule options. But; no stress or angst today. Dear Baseball Gods, your rain today is welcome & makes a Covid-Friday night tolerable. Dear Covid, you lose today; Baseball Gods win.

I refuse to let anyone (of any age) who plays for me in Northern VA complain about field conditions. I get looked at funny when I habitually say, โ€œthere are no bad fields in this area, but there are infielders w/ bad feet & hands.โ€

DR infielders get their reps in daily with ragged balls, on rugged fields, & with no excuses. Undesired circumstances is what separates them, creating infielders that expect to be challenged on every pitch! Find some old balls, a patch of dirt, & go get better! @DirtBrosInfield

Good luck to all spring coaches: -Stopwatches capture metrics, but evaluate their heart too -You'll have critics during the season, so don't shy away from tryout criticism -It's not too early to consider the variables in your chemistry experiment -Trust your gut

Reminder to 15u - the new recruiting rules allow you to focus on yourself; i.e. development. Little reason to dedicate time & money to "showcase" camps. Rather; allocate time/money on speed, strength + private lessons. 16u, you need to blend both. 17u, prioritize "showcase."
