Hear a lot of people question the direction of this program. Know this: Bear Kelley takes care of his players like they’re at a D1, they lift and train like a D1 and schedule like they’re not afraid of anybody. Awesome to see local kids take down the No. 1 team in the country!

Kids I know you have baseball practice. But if practice ends early or you can sell it to your coach as learning, go see JUCO baseball and see if it’s “fallback” plan if D1/D2s don’t come calling or if it’s every bit as good as those levels. Hint: (It’s the latter).
How's this for a mid-week matchup ⬇️

Coach ain’t wrong! Illinois JUCO ball is some of the best in the country at all 3 levels! But don’t go just to play another 2 years. You gotta go with something to prove. Every weekend, Fall and Spring, you’re trying to take somebody’s money!

- 10 IL JUCO’s in the Top 25

There’s a big lesson for young ballplayers in
@ryvogi
story. As a 16U player, he was a damn good MIF. Then, about a week into his 17U summer, we asked him to try CF. Happily did it and now he’s gonna be drafted as a CF. The lesson? Be versatile on the baseball diamond!
Just another day at the office for

Watch the

People often say a dog’s love is unconditional, but it’s not. They give you all the love because they trust you to do the right thing for them, even when it’s the hardest thing to do. Rest easy Scooter. Will miss you curling up on the couch or chair with me.

Dear College coaches,
He’s. A. Dude. I have and will continue to put my name on this kid because I have no doubt that he will achieve the level I’m telling you all he can achieve.
Good look at
@PBR_Uncommitted
C Lawson Alwan (Peoria Notre Dame, 2025).
Barrels one off the L/C wall for a standup 2B to start the game.
Agile behind the plate with quality receiving actions.

I try to teach my players life lessons. A lot of guys want to make baseball part of their adult life. If you want to do that, you have to have a spouse that supports.
@melijo88
doesn’t just support me. She loves the game too and it’s a huge part of our lives. Love you honey!
