To our MacStrength Family:
It saddens us to announce that Mac’s father, Dan McEachran, has passed away.
Dan was Mac’s coach, and nurtured the love for baseball that gave birth to MacStrength. Without Dan McEachran, none of us would be here. He will be missed dearly.
As we head into the Thanksgiving break, the guys have been working hard and getting after it! Here are some of the top Exit Velo’s from the class of 2024 and 2025 as we continue our development through the Winter.
BASEBALL. IS. BACK. We are SO fired up and proud to be a part of our guys’ return to the greatest game on earth.
@MitchCummins
had a jack and a triple in his first game back. Can’t wait for more to come.

How to tell if you’ve built a solid culture at your training business: old athletes who are not competing in their sport in college anymore still come back to hang out.

MacStrength 18u Gold kicks off the fall with a 15-0 W against Minnetonka. Chase Eiden is player of the game with a 12 K no-hitter on the mound and a 3 RBI double!
Congrats to all the athletes out there signing to schools the last couple days. Feels like a good time to remind everyone of this:
When you feel that sense of relief creep in, and you think you can relax, ignore that.
Signing is not the finish. It’s permission to get started.
I am excited to announce that I have committed to Hamline University to further my academic and baseball career. Thank you
@PiperBaseball
for this opportunity and to my family and coaches who have helped me achieve my goals.

We’ve seen a lot of guys crushing training on their own, and had lots of questions on drills, techniques, etc. In order to help as many as possible, we’ve begun building a library of videos that can be done at home on your own or with a family member:
A BIG shoutout is in order to

A 3 rbi triple from Stefano Giovannelli is exactly what we like to see. Word on the street is that he hit a bomb recently too....but of course no video. So just feast your eyes on the triple people.

@HopkinsBaseball
and he has been one of our most improved players this year. He has put in the work, and he is being recognized for it. And yes, you heard those numbers right. 0.55 ERA and almost 2 K’s per inning.
No fence? No problem. Hayden Joint (Chanhassen, 2021) sent em running for this one. Keep your eyes peeled for the follow up video when this ball lands.

If you’re like us, lately you might have a lot of doubt. Doubt about what the future holds, doubt about when we’ll be back, and whether or not you’ll be able to compete or train at the same level as before when that happens. For those who may be struggling with doubt, know this:
