High School Baseball reveals who you really are as a player. It costs $0 to play and you are owed nothing. It doesn’t matter what your name is, your travel team, your showcase stats, or where you’re committed to. The best players play! HS coaches want to win—plain and simple!

@AntolickBrett

@ArizonaBaseball
! Brett's combination of character, dedication in the classroom, and work ethic have led to this great opportunity. Way to go Brett!!
RCS is officially open!
It’s been an incredible journey getting our building up and running. I am beyond grateful for all those who have helped along the way. Special thanks to my family for their constant love and support as I continue to pursue doing what I love!
Dear HS Players,
If your PBR/PG scouting report includes lines like..
"shows ability to barrel the ball with a mostly pull side approach"...
that's a nice way of saying you have no pop, a bad approach, and roll over a lot.
Stop tagging D1s

A huge congrats to Baseball U Anthracite’s Antonio Doganiero (Hazleton Area) on his commitment to
@Pitt_BASE
. Antonio will play under
@CoachMikeBell22
as the Panthers compete for an ACC Title!
Hard work pays off!
Other than facing a live pitcher, the hack attack is the most realistic way to get game feel. You’ll find out real quick if your swing will play vs. good arms. Always amazed to see how quiet and compact the load/swing gets for hitters compared to 20Mph front toss.
⚾️🚨MLB DRAFT ALERT!!🚨⚾️
Former Hazleton Area standout Jatnk Diaz has just been selected in the 8th round by the Detroit Tigers!! A huge congrats to Jatnk and his family!!

~Players~
Be uncommon this winter! Let everyone else post their flashy music video workout clips. YOU work your tail off and don’t let anyone know what you’re up to..the truth will come out on the field.
The most important numbers are in the STAT column, not social media likes!
This is why I got into coaching..
6 games in 4 days, a 6am wakeup to drive 2 hours for a doubleheader in 95 heat and our crew starts an impromptu bunting competition in the Chick-Fil-A parking lot. If you love the game, it will love you back.
Great to catch a game at Fenway! Even though my seats were a little better the last time I was here (13 years, ouch!) nothing beats spending quality time with family.
Time flies!
Beyond grateful to see the growth of this program. Over 150 players attended our 2022 tryouts this weekend. Big shoutout to our coaching staff who are dedicated, love the game, and are passionate about changing lives!

Upset that I haven’t done this sooner.
This offseason-train to WIN battles. Rehearse as many different game situations as possible. Move runners. Drive runs in. 2K approach. Tell your BP guy to mix in balls and hooks. The real deal is coming soon.
I am both (travel and HS coach) and I can tell you this is 100% accurate. Most travel coaches oversell players just to promote their organization. Not all, but most.
