Fell a little short of our goal but it was fun week of baseball for P2P Millers 15U Thorney in Atlanta, GA. Fun to watch the boys compete. 5-1 on the week, making the playoffs at the

15U National Championship.
Had a blast coaching this group of players this weekend at

was full of studs. Excited to watch their careers develop over the next few years.

90% of players don’t need to go travel the country all summer to play. Spending two weeks in GA does nothing if you’re not a D1 prospect yet. Players need to DEVELOP & play games but can do so in a competitive local & regional schedule. Save money now, travel when you’re ready.
P2P Millers Thorney advances to the championship which unfortunately had been cancelled. Finished event 5-0-1 & ready to compete for it all.
Top Performers today:
Owen Strey- 2 for 3, 2 runs
Preston Berg- 2 for 3, 4RBIs
Scheller & Geislinger turn in solid outing on the hill.
Our 15U Thorney squad finishes the season 19-5-1. Four of those loses within 1-run & outscoring opponents 139:55. Once we learn to use our competitiveness more as well as improve on some things individually & as a group, going to be even tougher to compete with in the future.
Stay to play for events is garbage. Reserved a block at a nice hotel that said open for $130. Event emails me back saying, “We can’t but here is this $200/night one, want me to set it up?”. Look up on property site and it’s $50 less/night. Let’s play local & stop feeding this BS.
I have had a rule that I haven’t been able to complain about the AZ heat since I moved here but my gawd today. Thank you to all of the players that stuck through it today at the Summer Review. 🌵🔥🔥
Happy New Year! 2020 was a strange one but brought some new adventures.
+ Hit my first full calendar year in Arizona
+ First full year working for
@prepbaseball
+ Met a bunch of new people, coaches, & players.
Just getting started. Looking forward to 2021.
2020 LHH Catcher,
@LoganMilene
has had a really strong year with the bat. Strong kid with power potential at the next level. Lives for baseball. Catcher but versatile enough to play OF.
I’ve said before but I’m sick of this perception that only dumb kids go to Junior College. It’s a smarter decision in many cases. Not knocking 4 years at all- Its about the right fit and a kid that prioritizes education can still fit into a junior college program.

P2P Millers Thorney loses a tough one to put record at 3-1. Waiting to see if we will play some playoff baseball. Got down 5-0 in 1st. Loved the focus after that, battled back to make it a tie in 7th.

Players, if a scout or coach is recruiting you or inviting you to an event they would rather you tell them to F Off than ghost them. Get it together. Show them some respect for showing interest in you. You never know what might happen down the road.

Congrats to our 2019 CF Thomas Bean on his commitment to
@ReiverBaseball
. Once upon a time, this kid almost quit baseball. Has turned himself into one the best CFs in the state. Iowa Western should be a great spot for him to develop and further his career.

Play the game to the very end. P2P Millers Thorney wins in walkoff fashion on sac fly by Price Caron. Clutch 2B by Brody Geislinger to leadoff 7th.
Top Performer:
Danny Scheller- 2 for 2 w/ 3B & Sac fly, 3 total barrels.
Others:
Culley Ohm- huge 3B w/ 3 solid innings in relief
Be careful of EV tests. Not hitting it 100mph or climbing the latter daily doesn’t mean you aren’t developing as a “hitter”. Driving 120mph would be fun unless you can’t stay on the road. Higher EVs simply mean you have potential to hit the ball harder. Some ?’s to ask yourself.
2026 3B/1B Culley Ohm (Waconia)- solid combo of strength & athleticism, LB in football. LHH w/ natural bat speed, creating plus pull side pop. Ability to work oppo gap. One of the best LHH in MN 2026 class. Pop on display w/ HR here. Defense has improved, 3B on varsity all year.
Solid team win & feel from our P2P Millers 15U Thorney squad vs a solid Dirt Devils (CO) team.

I’ve known Tanner since he lived in MN. Has always been straight up ballplayer & smasher of baseballs. It’s been fun to watch him develop & be a mentor to some these young guys around him this year. I think they will benefit from the experience. I wish you the best.
Although we never reached our end goal as a team, this year was one for the books. So many good things to say about this team and this program. The coaching staff was one of the best I’ve ever had, poured there hearts into this team trying to make them championship caliber.
