I did this pro ball all the time. I was so excited when a guy went 450ft on me. Took the guy out for dinner and bought him frozen yogurt after the game also.
My biggest fear as a coach is players accepting being average. Failure is a part of the of this game, but I will not allow you to accept failure. Winners win at Everything.

As if being a catcher doesn’t suck enough already, now you are going to drop this on them. Might have to try with our guys just for the thrill.
If you are trying to get into rundowns to score runs, suicide squeezing with a 9u kid. Playing a lefty short stop, using 5 infielders, throwing 50% breaking balls at 11 and under. You are missing the point of development and I feel bad for you.

Today I turn 33 years old. 33 was my high school, college and pro ball number. I consider 33 to be my lucky number. I will be taking this luck to Lambeau Field today for what will be an unreal birthday present from the Green Bay Packers! How’s that for manifesting
@TSchwecke03
Update! Ik everyone was worried about me after todays PBR event and the amount of baseballs I threw. I wanted to let everyone know that I am 100% not ok and I will be retiring from throwing BP again. Please no questions at this time…
Hard day for me. I just found out doing some research on Twitter that some parent was less then thrilled with my BP last weekend. This is crushing for me and idk how I’ll bounce back. Just confirming my retirement.
There is a lot going on in travel baseball in our state atm. All I can say is I have never been happier and proud to be a part of

Officially 32 years old. Been a hell of a ride so far. Cheers to the people who support me, cheers to my friends and family, cheers to new beginnings! We shall find out what this year holds but it been fun !
I think I get more excited watching players I’ve coached sign their national letter of intent then I was signing mine. Congratulations to all of you, it is truly deserved. 👍
Well its official. On this day as my players so often remind me I have hit 30 Years old. It's been an amazing first 29 years with a lot of fantastic memories with great friends and a fantastic family. Thank you to everyone who has impacted these first 29. Cheers!!
Welp it’s here, first travel day of the high school season. Excited to kick it off down in Indy for the MPL with a talented 16u black team. Let’s get it 🤙
Is the new recruitment tool on twitter just tweeting a video of yourself throwing and saying whatever velo you want without any hard evidence? If that’s the case I can make a video and maybe the Brewers will want me back.
I want to get ahead of this before it makes it’s way around social media. This is in no way shape or form me throwing BP today. I am still in retirement so please respect my privacy. Still no questions. Oh and
@Garrettkay3
can really hit.
5-0 on the weekend. The boys have given up 3 runs through the 5 games and are playing at a high level. An amazing group to be around that continues to develop and learn how to play the game the right way!
16u Black wins a big game this morning to advance in the ABC Invite platinum bracket! 16u black received the 1 seed after pod play and will begin semi final play tomorrow at 11:30am!

I just wanted to take a moment and let everybody know that
@D_Kibbs
can absolutely hit and is continuing to impress at the plate every game. Becoming a rare talent and deserves the success he is having both hitting and catching.
Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Joliet, Indiana, Kansas City, Iowa, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas City. Another spring and summer travel season complete. Safe to say I’ll take the next two weeks to maybe stay home. Let’s see what the Fall brings next ✌️
After deep consideration and a lot of self reflection (and throwing - ridiculous amount of batting practice in the past 24 hours) I have decided to retire from throwing batting practice. Please respect my privacy and no questions at this time.
@barstoolsports
Not that I wanted Kyle Allen to get hurt. But if you don’t have goosebumps or any emotions with Alex Smith taking a snap in a NFL game again we can’t be friends. Truly inspired and I tip my cap to you Alex.
All I’ll say is if you are going to call yourself a high level tournament and tweet out videos left and right can you please get the players and facts right so you can fool us into thinking you actually care. It truly does affect things
10th Anniversary Flashback Moment:

I am a huge fan of this kid. The growth in one year was truly amazing. Not enough positive words to describe him. Shoutout to
@CaseyOliver9
as well for all the work he put in.
I know it hasn’t been pretty. But there is no chance I am going into tomorrow’s game thinking it’s the Brewers last game of the season. Baseball isn’t won on paper and anything can happen. Get to game 5 with Burnes and see how that changes ppl’s opinions.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here for this sales pitch. Also not sure how this got in there but GRB and GRB STiKS are some of the biggest advocates of representing your High School programs in the spring. So attaching GRB to this is complete BS.
IHSA Baseball is under attack. Weekly travel to Iowa! 5 games/day? 18-22 gms . All for $1200. More like $4000 after travel/hotels! How much more $ can families pay? Lake Park supports academies that are willing to work with and support IHSA baseball. Play IHSA!
As a football realist I have to be honest with myself with this score prediction. 49ers are absolute dogs and elite. After a lot of thought I have decided the final score will be Packers 34 San Francisco 30.

I’d like to address the rumors going around that I was spotted throwing BP at a unnamed showcase today. I am here to tell you that in no way shape or form are these rumors true. I am happily retired from BP and will remain that way. No questions at this time..
I am very excited to announce my commitment to further my academic and athletic career at the University of Louisville. I would like to thank my family, my coaches, and my teammates for supporting me through this journey.

Ryan Brennecke (‘25 WI) worked four innings on the mound, striking out 3. Fastball got up to 88, lived in the mid-80s w/ ride up. Clean arm action and more to project on.
