Future Texans,
We are 10 days away from our January Prospect camp. For those of you that worked hard this winter, this is the perfect time to showcase yourself before your season starts. Our next prospect camp will not be until this summer! Bleed Purple 🟣
We are one day away from prospect camp here in Stephenville. If you are just now finding out about camp please email tarletonbaseballcamps

.com to be added late. We look forward to seeing you here! Bleed Purple 🟣
A little over a year ago today Josh was cut from his junior college team. Went to work right away with zero distractions. 3 workouts a day, plus film study on himself and hitters. Now he is an 8th round pick and a San Francisco Giant. Really happy for Josh and his family.
I think I speak for most coaches when I say that we (coaches) chose this profession in hopes to impact the lives of young people. Seeing those we coach go on to succeed in life after sport is the most rewarding aspect of the job. Knowing what type of person and leader Nicco Cole
Kids camp energy this morning was ELECTRIC! Coach Smith getting the younger kids fired up and ready to go. Final day of camp tomorrow...slip 'n slide incoming 👀

Found this guy in the cage this afternoon. Horns with an edgy appearance...definitely a juco guy. Hits for power, good runner, + defender. Message for details.
Funk made one adjustment in BP..then hit 3 nukes. Cade almost took a limb off the tree in LCF. And Boone..he walks by me in the dugout after Funks 3rd home run and says, “he thinks he’s special today, watch me match him”. Awesome memories.

completely unrelated to baseball. In the end those are the moments that matter the most. Not the wins, not the losses, just the relationships between friends. We love you, always have, always will. -Fly High 8
It's hard to believe that this girl was with us here for more than half my life. 14 years can go by so fast. This puppy taught me how to be patient. You couldn't control her barking, you just had to let her go until she was done. What a life, what a soul, rest easy pretty girl.
Quarantine day 9- Ana decided she wanted to learn how to hit baseballs. She swung and missed at the first few, then managed to drill 12 lasers in a row shortly after.

I've always appreciated what high school coaches have to give up to coach young men. Lots of time, effort, and money. Lifelong lessons for high school athletes that need role models.

has had some of the best.
This guy will be an example for me to use for many years to come. Excellent student, consistent hitter, executes situational offense, and is turning himself into a hard nosed defender. 18 homeruns when including the fall season doesn't hurt either 🧨
This is a great opportunity to get back in front of the staff here. These will be fun camps with plenty of teaching going on. Each camp is almost full, please sign up today if you want to attend!
was creates a hole somewhere in my heart that will never be filled. For that I will lose sleep for days and years to come. However, I do find peace in knowing that Nicco is with those he loves in heaven. I will miss the laughs we shared during practice about things
Jake Lyons threw a gem in relief. McCusker broke the shutout with a homerun. Bryce Carter puts his head down and legs out a double, and gets concussed along the way. Boone keeps his head down and drives through a baseball. Leeper slams the door. That was a TEAM effort.
Another outstanding event hosted by
@BaseballKeepers
! I can't say enough about the Vilade family and everything that they do for Keeper of The Game. Lots of smiles and time well spent.

This is where YOU need to be!
One of the best people and scouts in Texas passed away today. I always felt at ease when we sat together at games, he had that calming effect on those around him. It seemed like he was always at every game, now he certainly will be. Rest in peace Gerald Turner, you will be missed

@jonathanheasley
locates his FB to both sides of the plate to both LHH and RHH’s. He repeats his delivery, works at a steady pace, and delivers the baseball with intent+belief in the pitch. His misses are small and consistently on the same side as target. Location WINS!
It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in the ER waiting to get your broken nose fixed after your friend hit you in the nose with a ball. Now you are national player of the week. Proud of you my son
@JakeTicer2
Exciting times now and ahead for this guy. Cut from his previous junior college team just 11 months ago to now accepting a scholarship to a division 1 program in Texas..and he will be pitching in the Cape this summer.
This game rewards genuine, good people. Enjoy this moment!!
This glove has been sitting next to my desk for 2 weeks now waiting for me to fix it.
@Sam_Phelps22
Sees it and dominates this re-lace job in about 5 minutes.
Equipment manager of the year?
Love this place. Great people to go along with a beautiful facility! HS players that need an extra year to develop and want to keep playing should be all over places like this.
The dream is now reality…

If you are a young hitter and your back foot naturally moves at times, let it. This is your body adjusting to change of speed in pitch when you are on time with a FB, or simply just distance of the ball from your body. Stay connected when you can and let your body move freely.
CLARK SPRINGS AGAIN!!
@ClarkSprings
is 4 for 4 in his final high school game🔥
Dragons now up 8-4 over SA Reagan in the 6th inning of the State Championship
@esim3400
Gyorko played in the alumni game against our 2014 WVU team. He came up to bat while I was playing 2nd base. On the 3rd pitch of the AB he got a FB middle-away, it started out as a linedrive at my stomach before it backspun and whistled over my head and over the scoreboard in RCF.
Free and easy 📈
Allow your body to move with freedom. Athletic movers tend to perform at greater thresholds than non-athletic/robotic players.
@JoshBostick4
is finding that freedom ☑️
1. Longest bus ride is an hour 15, closest is 10 minutes.
2. 300+ former Cape League players on MLB rosters last year.
3. 15-30 scouts and scouting directors at almost every game.
4. Great white sharks, fishing, and beautiful towns.
Find a way to get here!
During a recent Seattle Mariners game, their in-game report took a look at the impact the Cape League had on their recent draft picks such as Zach DeLoach (Falmouth ‘19.)
John was our Sunday starter at West Virginia U in 2014. The guy was locked in from day 1 in the fall, to the last day of our spring season..not surprised.
As I sit here watching film, I realize how lucky I am to have watched Josh Hamilton play baseball. Man I would turn back time just to see him in his prime one more time 😐
My roommate(s) parents come into town and make 50 chocolate chip cookies and fill a bowl up of just Reese’s peanut butter cups. On top of that they leave them right smack dab on the counter in the middle of the kitchen. What am I supposed to do? Walk by them? I’m freaking out man

Today my mom told me my face was not made for facial hair and that I look better with short hair. She also said my future wife is thinking the same thing. Say no more babygirl.
This is awesome coverage of the guys behind the scenes in college baseball programs. Some of my favorite memories were made as a manager at Oklahoma State with

Just found this footage in a pile of old scouting videos. I’d say

made a few adjustments since his time at Auburn. Adjustments are voluntary. Great film.
