MLB Asst. Hitting Coach - NY Yankees // Example isn’t the main thing influencing others, it’s the only thing // 1Thessalonians 4:11-12 // B.S.&M.S. @ WKU // 🦍
My 3 year old just walked by the screen of the Yanks v Mets scrimmage & saw a ground ball .... stops in his tracks and says “No Money on the Ground” .... he ain’t wrong
The Yankees today announced the 2022 coaching staff under Manager Aaron Boone. A prior version of this graphic erroneously omitted Quality Control and Catching Coach Tanner Swanson.
- When you think your job as a baseball player is tough.
- When you feel sorry for yourself because you’re not getting the results you want.
Think about Rylee.
This is Rylee McCollum. He died in Afghanistan yesterday. He recently got married and was only three weeks away from becoming a dad.
God bless his wife and baby.
Im not blind to color. I see the differences. We all do. I dont know how it is to not be white in America. I dont know if me speaking out is offensive or appreciated. I believe in 1 Creator who made us all equal. I love you regardless of differences. I hear you. Your life matters
Struggling with “mental strength/toughness”?
1. Get in the weight room
2. Clean up your diet
3. Improve your sleep patterns
4. Drink more water
5. Prepare better
Fix your Lifestyle & Commit to a Process.
Doubted all year. Adversity, injuries, ups & downs continuously, but these dudes just fought til the end. People can say what they want, but they can’t say that you guys aren’t Champions! Nobody can take that away! A legacy was left to build on & I appreciate you guys for that!
A lot of cool moments in my life but the pure joy my 2 year old has while sitting in my lap watching Sandlot for the first time tonight is one of them....

Out of the Top 40 Exit Velos in MLB this season ... Only 4 of the 40 weigh under 200lbs... Want to hit the ball harder?? Eat More. Lift More.

This kid will only be 2 1/2 at the end of this month ... don’t tell me that boys aren’t born with natural instincts of how to act during football season...
This is an obvious statement to anybody paying attention but these

Regionals are the best I’ve ever seen! Great atmospheres, crazy comebacks and a ridiculous about of Offense!!
@11point7
There’s over 7.5 Billion people in the world and 14 people are currently leading the MLB by averaging 3 hits every 10 ABs.... Hitting is pretty tough so you better find joy in the process.

I encourage you to educate yourself on other views as well as your own. If the views you own are correct, it will only be sharpened by learning about other views. If you have not studied other views then you do not truly hold the view that you have deeply.
Three 10 year olds just came knocking on the door to see if Jett (my oldest son) could come play ball in the neighborhood.
Jett is 3 years old.
Not sure what to think. 🤔 But we let him go play of course...

Imagine knowing you voted to cancel football while you sit and watch your country’s Naval Academy and Military Academy play on opening weekend of football season ....
Dykes Fam party of FIVE coming in April!! We are SO excited to add this special blessing to our family and know God’s timing and plan is perfect. Now send up prayers as we prepare for baby and baseball season in 2021 😳😄🤪

You’re the backbone of our team. The Lord has given me more than I deserve. And you continue to make us better every day. Thanks for being who you are! Happy Birthday

Took my 2 year old & 15 month old to swim lessons
As soon as we got there, the instructor threw our floaties away
She basically let the boys drown & swim to survive for 10 min. each & had them figure it out
Great coaching. We all can learn from this!
Back at it tomorrow!
This guy not making the AAA All-Star game is embarrassing
@MiLB
.... I’d say I’m bias because it’s one of my best friends but the numbers don’t lie ... proud of ya Corbs! Keep going
Sat in the dugout and watched this guy hit a lot of Homers for

and tonight I had a front row seat again to watch him hit the go-ahead Homer in his AAA debut!

Jett turned 3 in March and has been asking to play “real baseball” every day since! He found out today that they’re letting him play 4-5yr old tee ball this fall ... so of course we headed straight to the park. Dude is hype!
The best in the world finding ways to get better and make practice harder via constraints and technology?
He’s the best ever. No way he’d benefit from that. Doesn’t need it…
Stopped by this morning to catch some
@IndianaFootball
practice ... Got goose bumps watching the energy of the coaches and players getting after it. Can’t wait for the Fall!!

For those upset at Mike Gundy for going to Morgantown late and not traveling with the team, here's his explanation. Gundy was truthful and honest about what all he missed watching his son Gunnar play Friday night.

Little man isn’t that little any more. Just over 2 months. Just over 15lbs. Not too much longer before he starts putting his older brother in his place.

Strongly disagree➡️”Its not grinding if you love to do it”
Grinding is doing the things that youre expected to do when its tougher than the work you want to do
Sports, Marriage, Parenting, Life. Some days its a Grind. Thats part of being a human. Grinding is good. Be a Grinder!
It’s been a great month of Instructional League in Tampa and the Dominican Republic. Exciting things going on. Have had a chance to meet and work with some great people every day! Time to fly home to this crew and get ready for some quality time together
“Dad, I got a medal, a trophy, and a game ball this year.”
Wow, Jett. That’s more than I had when I was 3.
“Well you can still win some if you do your workouts.”
4 years today with my better half! 3 cities/states in 4 years, added Jett to the mix, and have another boy on the way.

has done nothing but dominate all of it! Love you and thankful for you daily
Last month as a 2 year old. Starting to make some strides offensively. Potential LHH DH in 2035 or 2036 recruiting class pending reclassification and fans being allowed in the stands at sporting events

Winning a B1G Championship was incredible this spring .... but also excited to announce I’ll be adding my 2nd Slow Pitch Softball Summer League Championship to the trophy case.. 🏆🏆

Pretty incredible when you consider the Top Prospects we’ve traded in the last few years and the prospects that are already in the big leagues in NY or with other orgs.
