I hardly ever do any personal post, but super proud of Sullivan and glad he had a lot of family there to see his first HS hit today. Wish I could have been there to see it with them.
#HittersHit
Can’t say enough good stuff about my coaching staff. Awesome coaches and awesome people that spend countless hours with our guys. Very thankful to have them around me on a daily basis.
My lil brother said this before a fight: If this dude hits me he better hope he knocks me out; cause I will never stop & I hit harder. What a great mentality for athletes. Feel like that now. We are taking punches but need to keep throwing them. Mentality trumps everything else.
Had a blast Celebrating a great career for
@RustyStroupe
The people in this picture have benefited more than they will ever know from me Playing/Coaching with this man. Met him when I was 17 & had no idea how much he would impact my life. Bigger than baseball.
#LoveUCoach
Over the break we give different options to continue development. Shutdown- Fix body/delivery w/ posture work, dry reps, Active Shutdown- toss lightly work on sequencing/feeling delivery, Keep throwing with a purpose- Velo, command, Pitch movement. Big man getting the Velo focus
All of us DREAM. We want things that seem out of reach. The special ones actually go for it. I want all the guy I coach/ coached to dream/ fight for what they want. I want them to be themselves & max out at life. Don’t ever let someone tell u what you can/can’t do.
#NeverSettle
A lot of former players have been texting me asking about Sullivan’s baseball. Here is his action from today. RBI Single up the middle again today. First year of kid pitch. He is blessed to have so many big brothers. Love you guys & thanks for being great role models for him.
Thankful to get some time on the field with Sullivan today. Don’t get to spend nearly as much time as I would like doing that with him this time of year. First time ever trying to pitch. Long way for the little guy to throw it.
Congrats
@EthanWilder6
you earned this on both sides of the ball and with your base running. Thanks to my great coaching staff and players for winning me COY. TEAM award!!!!! Let’s go be the best TEAM.

Got a half marathon in under 2 hours for Memorial Day. Never considered myself a runner, but COVID has driven me to more running than I ever thought. New respect for Marathon runners they do double this at a way better pace.
Ultimately it comes down to having belief in yourself. That comes from your work. Have you done enough when it’s not team practice time. Everyone does team practice. Detail oriented work.

A lot of people would be ok with being a weekend starter, but this dude wants more. These videos are 1 year apart. Left is from today. Lots of work left to do but improvements are easy to see. Not satisfied!!!

Tell everyone all the time. Dude is always dropping great information for those that want to learn. He studies it and puts in the work to be good at it. Stud demonstrators too.
#cLawsUp
Sullivan is turning 10 tom. With everything going on he can’t have a party/ throw out 1st pitch. Any of you that can send him a short Happy B-Day video I know he would love it. Amazing how many of you have touched his life throughout the years. You are his brothers.

Always a good day when one of these comes in the mail. Going to have to get another card holder for the office. The original one is full now. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy New Year to all of my players, former players, coaches & friends. You are all a part of our family. Sullivan has had the best Big Brothers in the world. Very thankful for the impact you all have had on my life. Get ready for a big 2018. Love you all.

him and his coaching staff.

Separation comes from doing the abnormal. What are u doing to separate yourself? Doing what everyone else does & thinking u do it better doesn’t work. Never has/ never will. Be different; the person everyone looks at & says “why is he doing that”. Then let results tell them why!

Happy Father’s Day to a Dad that showed me what hard work is, how to be a loving husband and great Dad. I always pray that I’m the Dad to Sullivan that you were to me, the Husband to Ansley that you are to Mom and the Coach to my guys that you were to me!!!
So thankful for all of the prayers for my older brother and family. Surgery went great this morning. Tuff to see my older bro like that. Puts things in perspective quickly. Cherish the time we get with people. Love you Brian
#HeartIsKicking
Breakthrough day for the big guy. Still not there yet, but best mechanical and sequencing day by far. Davis is going to throw gas if he keeps making these strides.

Took my family out Shark fishing and Sullivan wanted a HammerHead. Captain Brian found us 2 of them and plenty of other sharks. Had a blast!!!
Very proud of our guys for a great semester in the classroom. That’s at least 7 straight semesters over a 3.0. Well done!!! Can’t wait to get everyone back on campus. Keep working your tails off over the break.

Love doing side by sides for development, but this one is just to let everyone know hard work pays off. Marshall earned the 100+ K’s by retooling his delivery, working hard on his body & finished it off with the right mindset. Super proud & wanted everyone to know u can do it too
Game time. My boy JT already killing it. Dropping knowledge to all at the

It only take one thing to create belief that you can win. YOU!!! Decide in your mind and heart that you will never stop believing that you can win. Doesn’t take talent to believe.
#AlwaysOnePitchAway
One of my players just sent me this to go along with it. Understand the game and how it works is a hidden tool that the best use. Glad I have guys that value knowledge.
#cLawsUp
Changes to a delivery take time, but more than that they take awareness of what needs to be addressed and a want too. That was August to the end of October. These next 2 months will be huge. Always get better
The best players I’ve ever coached are the ones that made me a better coach. They challenged me to learn and adapt. They pushed me to be a better coach and person. They truly brought out the best in me.
#MyBoys
Happy Father’s Day. Enjoyed the time with my Dad and Sullivan. Also really cool to get text from former players about our relationships. They really are like Sullivan’s older brothers. Live Photo if you want to see that Sullivan does really beat me in golf.

Dude added another hat to his colllexction of draft hats yesterday. Go Tribe. Sullivan will be wearing it proudly to represent

Scotty has always been one of his boys.
Generations of Byrnes Rebels Baseball represented. Coach Simmons touched so many lives including mine. Gave me the opportunity to be a pitcher & changed my life forever. So thankful for him as a friend/ mentor. Was so cool to give him the ball from the final out. Love you Coach.

So happy for
@JT_Maguire35
I’ve said it for years that he is one the best in baseball at any level. Can’t thank him enough for coaching with me the last 4+ years. One of my best friends & I always learned from him. His relentless search for knowledge is unmatched. Love you Tommy.
Congrats to

Proud of you Luke and can’t wait to see you throw. Well deserved. Hard to beat those AA numbers he has thrown up.
