Holy smokes. I’m a fan!.
Talk about perspective. Inspiring mic drop here from @AF_Baseball head coach Mike Kazlausky. "All we're doing at the Academy is training war fighters because the next game they play is going to be war. This is a whole hell of a lot bigger than baseball.". #AmericasTeam | @KVUE

Leaders don’t make excuses, or complain. They’re accountable and take ownership. Much respect young man!.
Everyone can have their opinion on it, but the bottom line is I gotta keep my head up. I have nothing but respect for the game and the people I get to compete against. I have to be better.

Strike 3. Makes zero sense. Kid is protecting his face from getting hit! Somebody has to do something about this rule! The umpires must enforce it, I get it not their fault. But it’s flat out wrong. What was wrong with the old rule? Get hit by a strike its strike. This is a K???.

Cant imagine how @Harker31 and his staff feel right now, along with their players. Tremendous people. This is devastating news to all of us in our great state. Everyone involved with @FurmanBaseball is in our prayers!.

Most catchers will tell you they receive much better on one knee. Plus, less fatigue on the legs helps them hit better, run better and recover better. For years coaches considered this “lazy.” It’s simply a smarter way to play the toughest position on the field!.

Elite hitters mash balls in the middle of the field. Why? Because they are consistently on time. Move athletically with good rhythm (good timing), let the barrel work south to north (bat path)and hammer the ball thru the top bar of L screen, or off the batters eye (external cue).
Turner + Bellinger machine BP. What stands out to you the most? I’ll RT the best answers in my opinion.

Clemson baseball is looking for students @ Clemson with pitching experience with interest in throwing live batting practice from the mound to our hitters. These are manager positions, and will have additional duties as well. If interested, email bpaulse@clemson.edu. Go Tigers!.

If this dont fire you up, I dont know what will!.
They don’t put championship rings on smooth hands. You gotta go earn it. You win championships when the stadium is empty, when the band ain’t playing and the cheerleaders ain’t cheering, when it’s just you and your brothers, right beside you. That’s when you win championships.

One of the best athletes in the country plays for the Tigers. The kid is special!.
If four hits in this game for @samlhall5 weren't enough, how about this #SCTop10 catch in the seventh inning by Mr. Hall!. Watch the game now live via ACC Network Extra (

I think it starts with coaches being accountable for how they treat the person over the player. Do your best to connect with them as people first! Once they know you care about them as people, you can push the player!.
I feel bad for college coaches today. - Coach a kid too hard: TRANSFER. - Put development over of playing time: TRANSFER. - Kid has great year: TRANSFER. How would you handle it @Mike_Rooney ?.

Say a prayer for Coach Crenshaw and his family. We have 3 young men in our program that played for him, and I can tell you he develops young men of high character! 🙏.
Yesterday at 4:24 pm my wife of a little over 10 years passed away. We are struggling to understand, while also trying to be strong for our two beautiful girls. The support from everyone, including my baseball family has been unbelievable. Just please continue to pray for them.

Sure would be great to reward the 2021 and 2022 classes with the ability to visit schools. Coaches would love to see hs and jc kids play! Safety protocols would need to be put in place for scouting and visits, but the kids deserve it!.
Interesting. With DII moving to a normal recruiting schedule on September 1, makes you wonder if D1 will go back to normal October 1.

Praying hard for Coach Gilmore. The ultimate fighter and competitor! We are all behind you in this fight!.
A mass that doctors fear may be cancerous has been discovered on the liver of the @CCUChanticleers @GoCCUSports @Coastalbaseball coaching legend. He is undergoing further testing. Thoughts and prayers to Gilmore #TealNation #ChantsUp #CCU #BallAtTheBeach

Hit the ball off the top bar of the L screen. Take your best swing. No other cue is needed really for young kids. I don’t use codes, kids need simplicity.
@MonteLeeCU @CoachNealPT @Teacherman1986 @C_Wallenbrock @LattaDoug @HyattCraig @TJHannam10 @outfronthitting Why does it seem like so many “hitting” coaches speak in code on Twitter?! Top cue for youth hitters to help get barrel on plane?.

Jeopardy showed me as a kid how much smarter my father is than I am, and as an adult how much smarter my daughter Shelby is than me. So many great memories. RIP Alex, and thank you!.
Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.

Great post. Whether you’re new or old school,a line drive off the top bar of L screen is roughly 8-9 degrees, and a line drive up the middle! It’s perfect timing,great external cue, eliminates mechanical thoughts. Best hitting coach you got is top bar of screen! Keep it simple!.

Great time to be a Tiger!
Important to point out that @ClemsonTigers is the only athletic department in the nation to make the College Football Playoff, Men’s Basketball Sweet 16 and serve as a regional host in baseball in the same year.

Sometimes you have to pinch yourself at how lucky we are to get to hear a great message from one of the best to ever manage in the big leagues! Thank you Jim Leyland!

Eddie used to paint the Gamecock behind home plate at Sarge Frye for many years. A wonderful man, incredibly kind. He will be sorely missed!.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Eddie Dunning, who started working for the athletics department in 1983. Every year since 1984, he painted the Gamecock at midfield and was named teammate of the year in 2011. For 20 years, Eddie volunteered to deliver food to his
