My advice this summer to high schoolers who want to play college baseball…
Get bigger, A LOT BIGGER. Squat, bench, power clean. Get huge and explosive!!!
Uncommitted 23s:
If you have ANY interest in a program go ahead and apply for admission! It speeds up the process for you academically and getting an academic scholarship can completely change your outlook on a school. Oftentimes that can be bigger than a baseball scholarship!
I’m very excited to announce I’ve accepted an assistant coaching position at the University of Missouri - St. Louis, beginning next school year! I’m passing up a career in law and pursuing what I love to do. Go tritons!
Coaches I want to see your guys at our camps! Let's get them a chance to get in front of the new UMSL staff!
Players email me at bfontenot125
@gmail
.com to reserve a spot at either camp!
With summer ball starting, please:
Sprint through first
Round 1st on a hit
Corner OF - get off the foul line
Body up bad hops
Attempt a slide step
Etc….
Summer ball shouldn’t be a bad product
I’ve decided not to return to UMSL for the upcoming year.
Been an absolute pleasure helping build this program into a winner. I’ll be forever grateful to Coach Eul for having me and the players for letting me into their lives for two years! Forever a Triton🔱
What an awesome day for
@UMSLBSB
Clutch performances from our guys and lots of future tritons on campus to soak it in. Very excited about the direction we’re headed.
Biggest school in St. Louis. Top rated business program. Over 10k students. Athlete only weight room, full training staff, and space to train indoors! We’re looking for ‘23s and ‘24s that want to grow here!
(15 min from Busch Stadium👀)
The guys that go home and keep up with their routines and follow lifting plans are the guys that come back to school ready to play!!! Get after it over break!
I have never been on a team that threw out more than 50% of steal attempts.
Two of the best that I have EVER worked with. They do everything asked of them and take all coaching.
Today is my last day of law school. I didn't know three years ago I would be committing my life to coaching after I graduated, but now I can't imagine giving my time to anything else. Time to get this train rolling, I couldn't be more excited.
We signed four guys and offered others from our camps last fall, if you want a real shot to showcase yourself and get an opportunity, be here on Tuesday!
Shagging batting practice is a massive waste of pitcher time.
More teams should turn that into productive time.
Do drills, train or take naps.
Most teams resign to wasting that hour for their whole pitching staff. Do it differently and see benefits.
EBR baseball is alive and growing because of this group right here. This program started four years ago, and these seniors are leaving it better than they found it. What an amazing group to coach.

Where do you go to school? What age group do you play in? Who do you play for? Who’s your favorite MLB player? Did you play this weekend?
Getting to know them and building trust is more important than anything on the first day.
I have a 6'0 catcher with high grades/ACT looking for a chance to play college ball. Ton of video available. His EV off a tee has gone from 72-86 over the last couple months because he works his tail off. Looking for JUCO/NAIA/D2/D3 opportunities, DM me if you need a catcher!
So we just let a pitcher hit in a scrimmage for some fun…kid rips a triple on his first swing in three years. I didn’t catch a video but it was absolutely electric.
TRITONS WIN ON A JAKE ISAACS WALK OFF HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UMSL defeats Quincy after entering the 7th down three runs! Brandon Olion with a big RBI hit followed by a 2RBI hit from Mantz set the stage for Jake Isaacs!

Base runners come in to bunt halfway through round.
High school guys, know this…
It MATTERS A LOT that you get the chance to compete for your hometown and you get the opportunity to take some pride in representing your school and community. This is where you learn to win and compete. Don’t abandon high school ball for more club.
Traits that always play at this level⚾️
•Speed
•Strikes
•Elite defense
•Getting on base
Do at least one of those things and you can find the field early!
Two camps in three days to finish up my time with
@frazierhallbb
.
Can't even put into words what this business means to me, everything I do in the future will be a reflection of all that I have learned here.
Best way to noticed this time of year is to email/DM local coaches with video, metrics, and your high school schedules. Much easier to go see a local recruit in spring if we know your interest level and have schedules!!
@MrCoachWalk2
Whereas baseball is clearly restricted from having only one more coach on payroll, in the sport with the worst player/coach ratio in athletics.
Make that THREE seniors that have signed to play college baseball from Liberty! Kaleb Gibson will join Cobe Beamon at Dillard, while Sylvester Williams will attend Vorhees in South Carolina! Very exciting day for this program.
FYI high schoolers!🚨
Here’s the weight progression of our freshman class🔱
Day 1 Avg….170.83
Best YTD Avg…190.83
Avg. gains…20LBS⬆️
Biggest weight gain…35LBS
Not enough to make it here - college baseball is a physical game!
Our new Catching Coordinator/Pitching Strategist Dustin Garneau brought this blocking drill to our mini camp. The goal is to keep blocked pitches close to & in front of your body. The two guys in front are soccer/hockey players. If the blocked pitch rolls in front of the plate
