New Chants working through some of the pre-lift warmup. Goal is to prep for squatting/hinging exercises during the lift and learn to move better on one leg. Doing these basics well lay a foundation to build strength & power upon throughout the upcoming fall and their careers.

Killer B’s👀.
Coastal and their killer B's- Bodine, Bender, Beach, Bathol, Brown, Born- are my favorites to win a loaded Sun Belt. Returning a ton of talent. They landed one of the best JUCO players in Sam Antonacci. Lots of upside on the pitching side. Darin Horn has stud stuff.

Riley Eikhoff had one of the most effective changeups in college this past season. Last summer Riley’s goal was to develop a new changeup that would kill velocity and spin while improving his feel for the pitch. The video shows Riley putting it together last July in the bullpen.

RHP Teddy Sharkey. Drafted in the 7th RD out of Coastal Carolina this year, Sharkey’s pro debut was electric. 10 IP.0 ER.16 K/ 3 BB. 118 BAA.0.70 WHIP. His demeanor on the mound matches his explosive stuff. Will be a very fun prospect to follow.

Happy Draft Day!. Last year Coastal Carolina SS Eric Brown was the 27th overall pick. Eric ranked top 15 in Max Exit Velocity, Whiff Rate & Chase Rate. A rare combination of power, discipline and contact.
