fans love catchers as they're in for such a treat the next few years going from Cooper Johnson to Hayden Dunhurst – both are such incredible defensive (and all-around) talents behind the plate
That feeling when you see the SEC West went 17-2 in NCAA Baseball Regionals:
Ole Miss (3-0)
LSU (3-0)
State (3-0)
Auburn (3-0)
Arkansas (3-0)
A&M (2-2)
Five SEC West teams won Regionals and have advanced to Supers!

@HJLartigue_22
belted a homer and went 3-for-5 to help the Rebels take down No. 5 Mississippi State in Starkville four years ago today!
As a guy who participated in this drill, I would love to see other people try this! It was fun and competitive! Pop time was also in play here. Can’t sandbag the time or throw didn’t count.
I’ve seen tons of ignorant comments in regards to this video. Yes we should expect this throw to be made 10/10 times. Given the situation, I know 99% of the CoachDad/Amateur population would Yip this into CF. Phillies building a culture. Should be every teams priority
Can only speak for baseball, but every one of these players had different skill sets. Yet, all of them were successful catchers! Credit to the staff for development on this one
@OleMissBSB
On a game where 10k+ plus were in attendance in Starkville. I got sawed off so bad that it forced me trip and somersault halfway down first baseline. “SNI-PER” chants were in stadium wide unison.
I'd love to hear the answers from some of the players around the SEC.
What is the best heckle you've received from an opposing fan? Or you can expose a teammate w/ the best you've heard to them?

This could be controversial, but I hardly ever give a lesson to a kid that’s under 10, really prefer working with kids 12 and older (I make exceptions). 1st reason is attention span. 2nd reason is kids under 12 just want to have fun playing baseball. (1/2)
James McArthur's final line: 5 1/3 IP, 3 hits, 0 runs, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 Ks ... 84 pitches, 57 strikes ... 11-20 first-pitch strikes ... He runs his scoreless innings streak to 18 1/3 innings and has yet to allow a run as a starter
Summer Ball bad looks - a series many have done, but I see new things everyday.
1. Parents: don’t demean other people’s kids from the stands in a shouting fashion. Seems like common courtesy.
To be continued…
Insider info: thought I hit a high change up, and after watching the replay later, I found out it was a heater up. The only time ever where not “slowing the game down” worked.
Twitter is for opinions right? With that being said, I believe cockiness and confidence are very different. See Brooks Koepka. That’s a confident dude. Be like Koepka.
First Half is over and I just want to say how great it has been watching this

this season and watch him play. Wish him the best in the 2nd Half! Always cheering for you, Tate!

Can you imagine what a pitch calling wristband on him would do to his demeanor and tempo on the mound? Something very intimidating about a kid staring down at the plate at all times. Oh and he throws 100 too

A great Rebel. But an even better husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and so many other titles. Immediately welcomed me into the Phillips family with open arms, and I’m forever grateful for that. Rest easy.
This summer, I hope college players and coaches notice how beneficial it can be to go play summer ball anywhere in the country (not just Cape & nothing against it) regardless of how much they did or didn’t play in season. All at bats and all innings are good for development.
Darick hall is the greatest baseball player to ever do it. Look. Look at this majestic tank, ding Dong, piss rocket, what have you. ELITE!! MY GOAT

Summer Ball bad looks - a series many have done, cont’d
2. I love kids celebrating with their teammates. But let’s try and take the extra 90 when your opponent is throwing it away, as opposed to finger gunning your buddy in the third base dugout before the play is over. Lol
On this day in 1957, the first aerodynamic plastic disc, more commonly known as the frisbee made its debut! To celebrate, check out this throwback from the 2015 Omaha Challenge ⬇️
Idk what to think about this Astros stuff, but if true, is really bad. Some of these guys may have earned millions of dollars (and their opponents lost millions) because the game of baseball was compromised with illegal devices.

3. Again, I’m all for celebrating, but hitting the griddy with your Coach while rounding third after you hit a homer down 8 runs…. Let’s save that one for the go-ahead homer, or just for the dugout
“Rather than fight over money here or money there, let’s take what we can get because it’s more than I ever thought I’d make and it allows us to go get some other guys done and continue to be a good football team all around.”
Before the “let the players play” crowd comes for me.
Give me players getting fired up for their teammates because they did something to help the team win, and not individuals celebrating themselves.
Context matters. Or maybe it doesn’t to some 🐸☕️
I played third base as a young kid. I wouldn’t shuffle my feet to make a throw across infield. So my dad made me shuffle around the entire field until I learned....
🚨Lets try something.. Comment your wildest Baseball memory w/ your Dad or Son involved.
I’m playing LSU as a freshman at Ole Miss. Made the game losing error on ESPN. Went to eat late after the game and my dad laughed at the replay 😌😌
How are YOU getting ready for this NFL Sunday? I’m eating a lot of spicy hot wings to acclimate my body to the feeling of burning due to the inevitable torching of the Texans defense
#BlakeIsGood
@PFTCommenter
Just witnessed a dad tell his son how pathetic he is for grounding out with bases loaded in a summer baseball game. This might be the reason I’m a little “soft” on my high school athletes.... they get burned enough at the house. Love your athletes!
Parents- save your 50–70 dollars a lesson and go rent a cage, or go to local park multiple times a week and let your kid have fun playing the game. Then they will want to get better themselves when time comes.
ATTENTION to all middle and high school baseball players. Having a catching and hitting camp at the end of the month. LIMITED SPOTS! Flyer below. Let’s get better before the season begins. DM with any questions.
John Rhys Plumlee is fast, but
@Hayden_Dunhurst
is strong 💪
The freshman catcher throws out the speedy outfielder with ease after a ball thrown down in the dirt!
#RebsBSB
I think my feelings of Tatis’s grand slam are changing non stop. But some of baseball’s old unwritten rules are the reason the game has struggled to grow at times, IMO. So if a guy has an opportunity to hit a grand slam, he shouldn’t pass it up.
On a rare serious note. This is the first time in my whole life/career I’ve consciously decided to make a swing change. Like anything I do I went all in and bought, multiple cameras, tripods and plane tickets. Here’s to all those paying off and 2020 being the best one yet🤙🏼
LSU catcher Alex Milazzo had to leave the game early after injuring himself badly on an awkward slide at home
so what did he do for the dogpile when LSU got the final out?
Paul Skenes had him covered:
Baseball pet peeve
#1
: when the flipper/bp thrower is rapid firing pitches to the player, and then proceeds to get mad at player about poor results....

theirs is the best in the country. Please send videos of other examples. I would love to post 👍

4. Just humorous on this one. Saw a first and third situation where R on 1st takes off and stops. Catcher pump fakes and nothing happens (R on 1st still in middle of baseline). Parent yells “just call time, he has to go back!” 😅
