I'm pleased to announce that I will be taking over as the head baseball coach at Carmel HS. I feel honored to take over a program with such a rich history.

Why did the IHSA “all-star” by-law become something that I strongly oppose? My baseball journey was unconventional. I was a small-town kid from North Dakota with no HS team. I loved baseball; my season was about twenty American Legion games a year. Not once did any college coach

My pride this HS season is making sure we tried to keep pitch counts down. We only had three games where a pitcher hit 90 pitches. The long game is my guys do play a summer season after HS.

How can we make a bullpen more game like? Get the heart rate up. Have pitchers take a sprint or jumping jacks. Get them back on the mound and teach them to control their breathing.

I teach our 12U AAA team to run the bases like their hair is on fire. I also enjoy the new nickname for our brand of baseball. Heads up base running and learning to take chances on the bases creates better players.

When I took over my kid’s team we created a throwing program. We emphasized moving down the mound and how to use the ground. My only two cues were “tempo” and “push into the ground.” I trusted that our throwing program would pattern the rest. I get told I’m a velocity guy,

Complete overreach by the IHSA. Way to open the door for large travel organizations to work against HS sports. Such a dumb way to shoot yourself in the foot and limit athlete exposure. Good luck enforcing this!
Changes to the IHSA's All-Star Participation by-law, submitted and approved by IHSA member schools last December, went into affect on July 1, 2024.

I have to admit this might be the best my arm has been in shape since being in school. A summer of working with groups of guys long tossing and doing plyos on a regular basis has done wonders. Wondering if someone can use a lefty for their men’s league team down the stretch.

More players need to learn to control what they can control. Parents need to support controllable solutions when players struggle. Blaming outside forces does not help a player. Instead get stronger, develop a better routine, and find productive solutions.

HS players need to understand that an off-season of swings off a machine, one or two days of positional work, and taking a pitching lesson once a week isn’t good enough. Live in the weight room, have a hitting and throwing program, and work on your position daily.

What I’m most proud of this HS season. That I handed out to almost every pitcher their pitching charts for our first four games. Ten pitchers have seen time in four games. Eleven if you include our 5 inning JV/varsity game. We call it a pitching STAFF!

The power of choice creates engaged players. If you have a base stolen, take it. If you think you can pick someone, call the play. Learn from mistakes and allow them the freedom to make mistakes. Too many kids get buried for one bad game or play.

Don't be afraid to ask the hard questions when looking for a travel program. Do they have a plan to get you better? Strength program? Throwing program? Hitting instruction? What type of tournaments? If they talk about wins and just practice, it's probably not the right fit.
