RBC Senior Director. 12U & 17U National Head Coach/Head Baseball Coach at Webster Groves HS. Brooks and Sloane’s dad. Happily married to my best friend.
Please welcome class of 2039
@stlrecruits
rookie, Brooks James Wiggins to the Recruits fam! He sure sounds like a Third Baseman, but we will see how he develops 😉
Seeing a harsh reality, coaching 12u baseball. 11/12 year old boys, throwing mid to upper 60’s into the 70’s, throwing 130-150 pitches in a weekend. This is not okay. Parents, you need to speak up for the sake of your kids’ futures. Literally seeing kids throwing 3 days in a row
Heard twice today about summer baseball players taking heat from HS football coaches for missing practices due to playing baseball games IN THE SUMMER. And I thought football coaches supported and endorsed multi-sport athletes 🤔🤔
#hypocrites
I’m challenging tourney directors to implement pitch limits NOW. We can’t rely on coaches to do the right thing and stop abusing arms. The drive to win is too important. We have rules right now to protect ppl from a virus but not to protect young arms from impending harm. Fix it
RBC 15u National finished the season 28-11-2, playing in the most competitive tourneys in the country. Very proud of this group of boys! Easily the most talented team I’ve ever coached. Already looking forward to Fall and next Summer!

National ends the season 39-21-3. To the boys moving on to other clubs, you’re all studs and you’re gonna have amazing high school and college baseball careers. I’m always here for you if you need anything. To the dudes staying and coming aboard, LET’S ROLL!!
‘26 guys making JV and Varsity rosters for their high schools all over STL! This is a class loaded with serious baseball players possessing lots of talent, physicality, and advanced skill sets! Enjoy the ride, boys!
Honored to announce I am now running the Webster Groves HS Baseball Program. Please give us a follow to help increase our social media presence. Thank you. Go Statesmen!
Today my little boy is 2 years old. He’s full of energy, talks non-stop, loves baby shark, stickers, and dinosaurs and his little sister. What a pleasure it is to be his dad! Happy Birthday, Brooks! 🎉🥳
Our 15u National

So… D1 or bust still? I get U Tampa is a D2 powerhouse but this should open some eyes as to where this game is going and how good you have to be to have the privilege of continuing it play it at the collegiate level, no matter the division.

This dude is routinely 95+, up to 99 w/ wood on front toss. D2 player. Everyday starter in 2018 as a Freshman. Before you decide it’s D1 or bust, check yourself and realize D2 rosters are loaded with guys like this who want to play early!

Gonna be a fun summer with this crew. Starting out in STL, playing above our age and then hitting the road to play the best we can find. Stay humble, keep working and you can accomplish anything as a team, boys!

Freshman,
@AndenHyde
, destroyed some baseballs today. 2 💣 and a 3rd robbed at the CF wall on an amazing play by the CF. Here he leaves the yard to RCF off a very good LHP!
@stlrecruits
We don’t offer prospective players college scholarship guarantees if they play for us. We offer them an opportunity to develop and EARN a college scholarship. Most who join our club do. The ones who put in the work ABSOLUTELY do. Proud to be one of the few clubs who does it right
3 young men I’ve had the pleasure of coaching since their Freshman year of HS. 2 headed to Alabama, one headed to Colorado- all 3 to play baseball at the collegiate level. Congrats boys!!

If you’re @ tweeting trash talk directly to Cardinals players after a loss, you’ve got serious issues. It’s classless and the last thing they need from what claims to be a ‘great’ fan base. Do better, Cards fans.

In 35 AB, Logan has compiled a .514/.564/.971 (1.536 OPS), crushing 3 HR, 3 3B, and 1 2B. Logan leads our team in RBI (15) and R (13). Elite bat speed, one of the best hitters in his class!
@stlrecruits
Congrats to one of the hardest working dudes I know for making his Varsity debut as a Freshman for a talented Lafayette HS squad.
@LMatthews2026
keep pushing yourself to be the best! So proud of you!
I thought about when we played you guys in WWBA last Summer and you all swung your wood bats really well. Jeff is just a hater. Don’t pay him any attention. Keep striving to be great, Brady!
Personally got to watch

play yesterday. Played a fantastic SS, made some extraordinary plays and displayed really good leadership on the field. Also hit this ball hard to the RCF gap.

moving very well during his step behind uphill throws today.
@stllpa
- can’t wait to see what he does on the mound also!
Landon has been hard at work cleaning up his mechanics. The work he’s done, paired with his determination to improving hip mobility and lower body stability has led to what’s shaping up to be a very clean delivery! Last night focus was on glove side stability.
@LMatthews2026
15u National starts the Summer off right with a 13-1 W over MW Rebels and a 5-1 W over a talented Gamers 16 Blue squad.

continues his streak going 6 for his last 6 🔥🔥!!
It ain’t easy hitting 86-89 with a wood bat at 14u. When the zone expands this much, it’s impossible. All 3 of these were called Ks. Zone was tight most of the game too!
Seeing a harsh reality, coaching 12u baseball. 11/12 year old boys, throwing mid to upper 60’s into the 70’s, throwing 130-150 pitches in a weekend. This is not okay. Parents, you need to speak up for the sake of your kids’ futures. Literally seeing kids throwing 3 days in a row
Dane Greis 6’3” 2026 LHP is going to be a name to know in MO. Doesn’t turn 15 until July. Running his FB up to 80 mph this Winter and there’s a lot more in the tank as he continues to move better and put muscle on his long, loose frame. Needs a Twitter handle!
