Tournament Companies are destroying travel baseball …
- cost of a tournament (9U - 13U) can range from $650 - $1,250 for a 3 gm. guarantee
- stay & play demands or pay another $300 to opt-out
- gate fees costing families $100+
All of that on top of travel/food.

Been saying it for years now.. Butters is easily a top 10 ‘27 pitcher in the country.
His IQ on the mound, feel for his pitches, ability to change speeds/locate and competitiveness is unmatched.
Power 5 D1’s need to put him at the top of their lists.
Oh yea.. he also RAKES!

In control from start to finish, good tempo & low effort op with a really ath/proj 6’2/190 frame. 75-78 w the FF & filled the zone w it, dev feel to spin CB/SL but can land it for K’s

Ronald Acuna went through spring training, played 159 regular season games, 4 postseason games and is already back to playing more baseball..
Yet, kids play in 30 travel ball games over a summer… then don’t pick up a bat until the following spring & expect to sign at LSU
Ronald Acuña won the MVP not even an hour ago and here he is getting ready to play in a Winter League game

Between Aaron Hicks casually jogging towards a pop-up (that dropped) & Gleyber Torres not hustling on a ball he should’ve beaten out (5-4-3 DP)… in what is an elimination game for the Yankees…I’m starting to question Aaron Boone’s Leadership.

1. No pop.. only one hopped the wall
2. slow.. barely could turn it into a triple — I would’ve moonwalked around the bases for an Inside the park HR.
3. Only ranked 301? My 4 yr old only needs one showcase and will be ranked higher
Andrew Talbert (‘27 IL) made a great swing on this one to grab a triple. Stays balanced on the swing, gets to the ball quickly. Swings with consistent intent, can generate big gap-to-gap power. Ranked 301 in the ‘27 class.

Team USA starting pitchers have a 60 pitch pitch-count during the WBC yet you have travel ball coaches throwing kids 70+ pitches in February/March and high school coaches throwing 50+ pitch bullpens in February.
Just shows how polluted the amateur game is w/ poor coaching

Training hitters to understand how to get their body in position and ready to swing is a difficult process for many reasons…
1. Hitters want to do more, rather than understanding that less is more
2. Hitters don’t understand timing, or simply don’t trust their timing

Talent is meaningless if you don’t grind away at sharpening/broadening your skill set.
It Takes obsessive behaviors… high levels of consistency, sacrifice, determination, focus, and dedication to achieve greatness.

When you lie about your son’s velo & exit velo… you’re only doing your son a disservice.

Been saying this for a while now. Daddy Ball trophy chasers have ruined the youth game along with ignorant coaches at all levels (8U - HS) that absolutely abuse arms.

It's not a surprise that we're seeing what we're seeing now with the injuries in MLB"

Don’t let one negative swing or call dictate the rest of your at bat. Step out of the box.. Collect yourself .. get focused on the most important pitch.. the next one .. step back in and do damage.
First swing: swing and a miss —> fooled badly
Next pitch, next swing: RBI 2B

Want to utilize your lower half correctly and start your swing from the ground on up?
A lot of the time it’s how you start your hands path to the ball that dictates how well you use your lower half.
What difference do you see between these two swings?

The biggest problem with youth sports today is the overwhelming sense of entitlement.
Parents believing their kid should get exactly what others work their ass off to earn/achieve is by far the # 1 issue.
