I will forever think the coolest thing is coaching, training, or finding a guy who is going to be a household name before everyone else knows about him. Cool to be there from the beginning before everyone jumps on the hype train #GetReady

Those who know me well already know this, but I am beyond fortunate to be able to wake up every single day and do what I love. Not many get to say that, and I will never take it for granted! 2018 was a great year. Hears to another amazing 365 days of pursuing my dreams in 2019!

In a world where it feels like many are in it for the wrong reasons, @coach_a22 was in it for all the right ones. He was a great friend and mentor to me, and truly cared about the game of baseball and all the players lives he made everlasting impact on. We will miss you Coach A❤️

Not a huge fan of most of the clickbait and cliche one-liners out there, but there has been one that will always stick with me: Dominate the present. So many concerned with whats next. The best way to ensure a successful tomorrow is to have success today! #StepByStep

What a wild ride this spring was! Less than 15 days at home between the start of the college season and the draft. Felt like you were always tired, but always excited every single day. 10,000 miles a month, 6 hotel nights per week, and 5 diet sodas per day! Summer, bring it on!

We are all dealt similar cards in situations like this. Some will complain and criticize others, and some will be proactive, come up with solutions, and make the most of the situation. The best part is that you get to choose which of those realities you want to pursue.

Assuming the worst happens, this is a sad day for baseball. All other sports are looking to broaden opportunity and grow the sport. Only baseball is looking for ways to cut corners and shrink. This will inevitably lead to the sport regressing. Nothing short of embarrassing.

Understand the difference between wanting to do something, and choosing to do something. Many times we may not want to do something, but choose to do so. This choice not only defines who we are as people, but our success, or lack their of, in all facets of our lives.

Got some really good advice a couple years ago. If you want to make it in this world, you have to do the work others don’t want to do, go places they wont go, and work more hours than they would ever want to. Not always easy, fun, or luxurious, but definitely worth it.

My favorite pitcher growing up, and favorite to this day, was Pedro Martinez. That dude was stupid back in the day. Punched out like 300 dudes and threw 13 CGs in a SEASON. Punched out 10per 9 and had a 1.05 whip for a CAREER. Like are you serious? He was playing a different game

Parents, All college bound athletes are juggling practices/games/school/college boards. “Not having time to train” is based on priorities, not lack of time. I’d rather they state “I currently don’t want to prioritize my development”. That should spark some deep conversations.
