You can be the best player in the country, but if nobody wants to be around you, you’re not worth much. Focus on character and being the guy a team can lean on in the face of adversity.

Augie made his career in the right era. Today, he would have been fired and some lunatics would probably be protesting his “verbal abuse” and his lack of “inclusivity”. He was a winner that made winners.

NLB NC falls to Post 22 5-4 on a walkoff HR.
This was the best environment we have ever been apart of. 3,000+ fans in a stadium with 50 years of tradition.

HS coaches don’t get enough credit. HS coaches provide the day to day development for guys from Jan-May. HS coaches are underpaid & over worked. Thank your high school coach each & every day bc you have no idea what he’s sacrificing!

In EVERY social media post about a player, NLB will reference his HS! Why? Because HS baseball is the absolute backbone of the game! Why? Because the coaches are with these kids EVERYDAY...not just for travel ball tournaments. 99% of HS coaches, NLB deals with, are STUDS.

I may be a little biased BUT this may be the sickest setting 4 a baseball field. I’ve coached w a city skyline, palm trees, & now mountains. Cut out of the side of a mountain is a crazy view for a field. Love it & getting better every year.

Major 🔑 for recruiting:

2. Be realistic about where you can play
3. Tell the coach WHY you think you will be a good fit
4. Contact the staff yourself, not thru mom/dad
5. Get on campus face to face
