On January 14th a HS pitcher playing in a PG event threw 96 pitches, that makes zero sense, we had our first intersquad this weekend pitch max was 30 pitches
HS and JC umpires I know your trying, please understand 4 year schools are looking at our stats, offensively and defensively, your decisions on strikes and balls, have a huge impact on kids futures
IMO the biggest arm from the catching position in the country, Sergio Guerra is a plus catch and throw guy, made some huge adjustments with the swing this fall and will hit in the middle of our order. Big time D1 catcher with plus grades
There’s only 7 teams in college baseball that don’t have to have there season end without the ultimate goal, today was Alvin College Baseball’s day, proud of my coaches, proud of my players, thankful to everyone involved in Alvin Baseball,it’s a special place
Sergio Guerra easy handling a 94mph fastball, can catch, elite throw tool, in conference hitting .304 .446 on base, 18 walks/ 17K’s, plus academic guy, need a catcher let me know
Jakub Rayfield is a pitch ability RHP with big upside, up to 90 this Fall and will keep rising, plus secondary stuff, high character, plus student, checks all the boxes, will make a big addition to any staff in the Fall of 2023
Daylon Carleton has had a huge fall, 5-10 with a triple and 2 doubles,with loud outs in a two day stretch vs UH Victoria and TAMU Corpus, can play all 3 outfield positions and 1st base, would be a great addition to any 4 year looking for a power LHH
That is a great post, at the end of the day, the relationships created doing all we do is a special place they will remember forever, my favorite day of the year is the alumni game, college baseball is a special time
Doing a check at the end of the ride has me thinking..
These guys dont realize these are some of the best memories they are going to have and stories for years.. wins and losses go out the window.
Enjoy the ride.. it ends
Happy to still be on a bus to somewhere

Please tell me I am not the only coach who does this. When I park my car to get gas, to remember the pump number I parked at and go in the store, I think of a player that use to wear that number sometimes I still remember their walk up song and sing that going in
Hard to imagine coaching before a Groupme app, we had to physically meet with the team tell them what time to arrive and what uniforms to wear for the game and the players would remember what we said and show up
I could have picked multiple coaches to coach my son in HS, I moved my family to make this decision, I chose Coach K, best decision I could have made, congrats Coach
NCAA strike zone “The area over home plate from the bottom of the kneecaps to the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants” Instead of focusing on speeding up rules how bout we call strikes, strikes.
8-16 on the week with 4 2B, HR, 4 BB, and 4 RBIs. Got to be a utility man this week as well, playing C, 3B, and 2B. 4 big conference wins this week, going 5-0 in total on the week.

Walks and bombs is the new college baseball, college pitching coaches we need to find a solution, not sure more stuff is the answer anymore to winning ball games
I watched Florida vs Tennessee play baseball tonight, if you put double AA, uniforms on them, I would not know a difference. college baseball has changed a lot since the lock downs
So impressed with Jalen Hurts, not just the player he is tonight, he handled his situation at Alabama and OU so professionally, makes sense he is a HS football coach’s kid
My final conference stats and last save vs. San Jac to finish off conference. Ready to get to work for the ride to junction with the boys 🐬!!

To all my coaching people, a question? As a pitching coach knowing how hitting coaches are training hitters off machines for high velo, and high spin rate breaking balls, what can we do in recruiting and development that hitters can’t train
Show up to the ballpark dressed like a ballplayer!
Too many kids showing up today looking like they just rolled out of bed!
By the time you’re walking away from your car, you should be dressed looking like you’re about to meet the head coach of your dream school!
IMO no pitcher in the USA at any level should be throwing 100 pitches in mid January, I said USA because I don’t know other countries baseball seasons, there is a reason pitchers and catchers show up to spring training early 100 pitches is a built up process, built to opening day
@2ndLegends
That’s a lot of wins between those two, Bellaire HS baseball made me want to coach baseball for a career, proud to be a Bellaire Cardinal, those two guys are legends in HS baseball
Watched LSU and FSU play tonight, the announcers talked all night about where this player played last year for both teams, this portal idea is sending college sports down the wrong path in so many ways, just my opinion
@2ndLegends
Jason Rodriguez is the best pitcher I have coached, he froze a hitter up so bad his leg broke, ambulance had to come on the field and get the hitter on a strike 3 looking
Gehrig is playing for the Waynesboro Generals this summer, went to visit this past week, could not be more impressed with the coaching staff, the whole organization, the league, great place to spend a summer, huge Valley league fan
As a proud state of Texas football fan, we had a rough weekend, the best we have is a optimistic tie by the Texans and a well played loss by the Longhorns, can we win some games next weekend please
Pretty incredible performance today from 2023 RHP Hiro Wyatt (CT). Twirler CG no-hitter w/ 18 strikeouts. In control from pitch 1, showed 95s throughout CG w/ plenty of 6s & topped 97 2x. Mixed entire arsenal & got whiffs w/ all 4, slider was go-to, lots of uncomfortable swings.
Just my experience, when the parents of athletes are filling out the college application and getting players registered for classes, the chances of success are low

30 years as a player and coach, my best memories were my neighborhood friends making a run at Williamsport PA, we 2 and Q’d, but it was a special time because of the people I was competing with and the community that came out to support

A college basketball coach told me he has never received a video of a potential recruit missing a shot, it amazes me how many videos of pitcher’s promoting themselves on here posting pitches not even close to the zone
THIS IS SO BADASS!!!🔥🔥🔥
The K-9, on a hand signal, is literally walking backwards to watch his 6 so he can focus on whatever the forward threat is!!
I know they are highly trained but DAMN!!
Maybe this is common to some, but it's the first time I've seen it and it BLEW MY
Watching the neighbor kid throw baseballs ball up and try to hit balls between cars in the parking lot, so far has not hit one, but loving the pure love of baseball and confidence
