There is not one scout around that believes major leaguers come from any one level and that’s it. If you have the ability and make up you will be found I promise you that. Go where your gonna be able to play and develop. Coach/program is what is important for amateur players!
Young pitchers, I saw one of the best pitching performances last night! 88-90 mixed up 4 pitches and didn’t throw with all of the effort I am seeing now days! Impressive outing and a pleasure to see. Carnival pitching for the gun, I’m out!!
First JV start for
@BridgesBryson
and he got the W!! 3 innings pitched, 55 pitches, 8 Ks, 1 BB, 3 hits, 2 runs (only 1 ER) AND he went 2 for 3 at the plate with a sac fly!! Proud of him & all his teammates. Go Wolves!!

Do not associate the east coast pro with any other event. It is by far the best event in the country run by the backbone of the game. Make no mistake about it.
Hey, I’m just sick of watching it. I want to see an athlete or average athlete compete with good mound presence and the ability to with stand a work load! All of this effort and shotgun delivery’s is not what the GAME of baseball is all about.
Max effort deliveries with big stuff doesn’t scare hitters. Controlled starter deliveries with big stuff. You have something there, it’s about heart and MAKEUP. I said it, MAKEUP!
Right now in this country we have an impeachment hearing, buzzers, storms and power outages, Can we just bring back the hit n run, safety squeeze and complete games by a pitcher? Just asking for a concerned American!
I have learned a lot from a lot of good baseball people. Greg Walker asked me several times, will this guy fight when he gets in the batters box? If he does he is the type of hitter you want! Think about that.
When Lon was sitting behind you at a game scouting a pitcher he would say, Add one! He only did it for guys he cared about. A pro’s pro. If you earned his respect, feel honored.
When we go to games we are looking for guys to play in the big leagues. I have a new spin on it, how about a little hustle on and off of the field and I can’t remember the last time guys just give you a hard 90 every time. What is going on here.

To my three kids. Madison,Bo, and Bryson! On this day, I am so thankful for you all. Dad will always be here for you! Proud of who all of you have become and will become. Stay the course!
Bryson Bridges (24 GA) throwing it real well here thru 3 IP. Up to 86 & living 82-84 from a sidearm slot. Running it hard on the hands & getting lots of GBs, showing good comfort with sweeping mid-70s SL.

Sitting out stuff is a joke! You can’t play for your teammates what does that say about the make up of the person. NCAA great job for letting this stuff to continue. And the Athletic Director. Great job.
Thoughts and prayers to those in the storms past. Jeff Johnson’s House is destroyed. All family members are ok! Let’s all pray for everyone in the path!! God bless!!
I will go one step further, the ecp is about scouts creating a roster independently for their region to represent in the best scout run event ever. 25 years and counting.
So you sit down for a quick bite to eat and there is a guy sitting close having a conversation with the speaker on! I don’t care to hear your convo!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wives out there especially mine. Lori, is a wonderful mother and wife! Love her! Mom’s have a relaxing day!!!!

Sitting with one of baseballs great scouts on his last flight, Ed Creech!!!! Ed tell me where you made mistakes. Awesome hot stove with a scouting legend!! Successes are easy failures are leaning experiences.
Tough to witness! Two of the best juco programs in the country, Walters State and Chipola, someone had to win tonight and it was chipola back to back! Two classy guys, Jeff Johnson and David Shelton. Congrats Jeff.
Talked to my first scouting director today. Attention to detail, believed in his scouts and had a process in place that lead to a lot of guys in the big leagues and on the 40 man, Donny Rowland. Forever thankful. What does he do now and who for?
Well it’s New Years Eve, I know a lot of people who stick to their resolutions. Me on the other hand, I always cave at the next meal!! Have a happy and safe 2020!!
National son day! Well I do have to say I couldn’t ask for and couldn’t be more proud of my two sons. Keep striving for greatness it will all pay off!!!
Am I the only one that thinks walking into breakfast with a towel over your shoulder isn’t cool? You smell, and no one cares you just worked out!!

The scouting world is hurting today as we mourn the passing of former LA Dodgers scout, Lon Joyce. We are so blessed to have spent many days at the park with him. If we had a Mt. Rushmore for scouts in the Carolinas and GA, he would be on it. A true gentleman. He will be missed.
How about the people who line up for a plane that hasn’t even landed yet? Are you kidding me, the world is full of followers! We need some leaders, break this line up and let’s run some gassers in the terminal!

The everyone gets a trophy mentality. It’s about competing and earning your spot! Scratch , claw, and fight. The guy who is currently at that position isn’t your friend he is the enemy. Beat those that stand in your way and success will follow. Battle and work hard.
Discipline is on the head coach. I’m a Florida fan and that was embarrassing. As a head coach the players have to know what comes first, your team. What a joke!
@nextlevelbb
Shut it down in early sept. 70 to 75 innings tops. One day a week start. The number of pitches no more than 60 to 70 early and no more than 100 at anytime and it’s on the head coach. If he has high stress innings and throws more than 30 in anyone inning it should be his last.
@SimcoxSlim
I do, all of the directors in the game and most importantly the scouts that signed the players are very happy when they see the kids on this stage do well. Hail to the boots on the ground, AREA SCOUTS!! Tonight, Billy Best!
Nick Saban with a quick story about getting chewed out by Bill Belichick for coaching too much.
His message to Saban: “Let the players play.” The mantra of ABC (Always Be Coaching) can hinder players’ ability to succeed on game day (🎥

@WiggsJohnny
The art of changing speeds is gone. Everything is max velocity hard, hard and harder. No one can soften the ball anymore. Just learn how to pitch slow the hitter down and speed him up when you want. No deep counts.
Wondering how to receive high pitch?
Watch slo-mo carefully & you’ll see his timing was off. If he jumped sooner, he would have been on way down, moving ball toward K-zone vs still going up moving ball away from K-zone.
Gotta jump sooner on these high ones... 🤷♂️🤣
Scouts, who I look up to are the best in the game, who are they? Scouts, guys who sacrifice their personal gain for the love of the game?? Who are they?? Historians let’s go??
