If you can hit, you’ll win HS baseball games. No one hits anymore.

There was once a time that 100% of “travel ball” players were elite. It used to be a privilege, not a right.

Pet peeve: Why are players so anxious to get out of their pants and/or jerseys so quickly after games? You only get to put that stuff on so many times in this lifetime. Why rush it? One day, you’ll wish you could put them back on.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your kind words! This accomplishment is nothing short of all of the sacrifices made for me in my 33 years by a # of people. The grace of God is wonderful. To all that shaped me, I’ll be forever indebted to you!

Love emails that say “Best D2 Prospects Available...”. Sorry, but our “D2 Prospects” would Smoke some of the “D1 Prospects” on “D1 Teams.” Bet our starting rotation of “D2 Prospects” had more draft picks than some of those “D1 Prospects” on other rotations. The “D1” thing is dumb

“…he doesn’t like Coach Asbill.”
Coach Asbill isn’t here to be liked, and he doesn’t care if you don’t like him. He’s here to win games. If you’re bought in, you’ll like it. If not, you won’t.

Why do I coach? Why do I teach? You ask these questions all the time.
Then, you walk in to get an oil change, see a former player in the military, have a deep conversation, and it all makes sense.
I’ll never take a win for granted again, but I’d trade every one for this morning

“Coach, what I can do to get my grade up?”
“Lift.”
“That’s all I gotta do?”
“This is weightlifting…”
“Why I lose so many points?”
“You don’t lift…”
“But they don’t lift either!”
“That’s why y’all have the same grade, actually…”

Canceled flight yesterday leads to the greatest breakfast I’ve eaten in my 32 years as I was blessed with the opportunity to eat with NY Yankee and Gamecock great Coach Bobby Richardson. It’s amazing what this game has done for me! Such a blessing!

Hop in the truck, feel the phone vibrate. 8:52 AM: “I’m at the field and I didn’t see anyone there. Is there no BP this morning?”
We don’t start until 10:00 AM. Pull up, and 3 are already there waiting and ready.
Looks like we have some hungry T-Breds. What a start to the day!

Was the Cannarella ejection touchy? Maybe. Was he addressing the other team after the issued warning? Yes. Everyone is making assumptions, not knowing exactly what was said. Maybe what was said is worse than you think 🤷🏻♂️
Bottom line: say nothing to the other team, & no issue.

As I started year two as HBC today, it’s just funny how, in so many ways, I was just not a good coach last year. We all have to improve every day. I’m just very proud of how I handled some adversity today, and it’s the faces in our program that helped me do it!

I think it is cute when you catchers do your little pop time videos as your body is turned completely. “Oh, I threw a 1.78.” 1st off, no you didn’t. 2nd off, I believe the main job is “catch.” You’ll never throw like that in-game. How about do it the way you’re supposed to. ✌🏼

As a coach, when a season or summer ends, you always want one more with that group. As painful as it is, the beauty is in the end because it is not until then that you can fully reflect and appreciate what was built. Best of luck to the

One of our seniors today: “Coach, I see how hard it is to play at the next level. I wish I’d began this hard work in 8th grade” (not that he hasn’t been working hard the last few years ✊🏼).
Playing in college is NOT easy. It’s NOT for everyone. If you want it, start yesterday.

Seeing tweets about composure and how Beamer lost it. Nah. As a HC, sometimes you have to lose it a little to show you won’t take your guys getting a bad shake. Easy to do when you have dudes that battle for you day in and day out.

I understand how good MLB players are, but these salaries are ridiculous. People work their tails off to support their families, yet we watch these dudes get 14 yr, $360 mil deals to hit a ball, pick it up, and throw it. Coming from a baseball dude, that’s wrong. Just wrong.

Umpire calls time, goes to the 3rd base coach and says “coach, your guys can’t clap when the pitcher is delivering the pitch.”
Not a single word/action directed at the other team.

Covid, we couldn’t control. Transfer portal, we could. So many HS players aren’t getting a chance that should, but the portal has created a “rent” vs “invest” mindset. Let’s get some regs out. This isn’t growing baseball.

Foul ball off the cap off the brick wall. Ball comes back to the C. Looks at it, throws back. I asked the umpire to check the ball. He says “catcher checked it.” My response: “Maybe he did, but it’s your job.” Tremendous attitude I received. You’re paid, big dog. DO YOUR JOB!!

Literally saw a kid fly out to center today and walk back to the dugout. Not the first step was made towards first. What’s happened to make kids think this ok?!?? Glad I’m surrounded by people, at all levels, that still appreciate this game for everything it is worth.

PLAYERS (both at Aiken HS and everywhere else): THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PLAYING MULTIPLE SPORTS! IF YOUR COACH DISCOURAGES IT, THAT IS A MAJOR ISSUE, IMO. Be an ATHLETE, not a _____ player (fill in the blank with whichever sport in which you’re trying to “specialize”)

Stop criticizing SC fans for wanting LSU to win. I remember a time when SC won back-to-back natties in baseball and knocked on the door for a third in a row. I saw an overload of UCLA, UF, and Arizona fans in SC. It’s a rivalry for a reason. That’s what makes it fun.

Had a parent tell me I shouldn’t care about her son if I taught him last year and don’t teach him this year and to not dip into his business. My bad for keeping him out of trouble many times this year. Thanks for showing me where his ignorance comes from.
