4 year coaches: Please see below our showcase schedule for the fall.
Our other scheduled scrimmages are in the thread as well.
Coaches are always welcome to come to watch a practice or intersquad. DM or text me to set anything up. Lots of great sophomores to look at!!
I will shamelessly brag on a young man. This guy had 5:30am team lifts. Worked breakfast shift. Got fungos before practice with his brothers. Practiced for 3 hours, took post practice fungos. Then we found him running poles after everyone left alone. Why? .....
Just want to ask everyone to pray for my wife and I please. She gave birth this morning to a beautiful girl. The baby since had some complications and health problems. Pray for our baby too please. We are very scared.
Pitching trainer posts a video and a thread on why he thinks a top tier SP has dipped in velo and production.
Said SP sees the tweet, shows up at his facility and says let's fix it.

The amount of videos I see of guys throwing bullpen and saying they're touching 90mph at 75% intensity in January is getting ridiculous
90 is 75% of 120.
Blake Treinen is an All-Star!
Treinen is 5-1 with 22 saves and a 0.81 ERA with 54 strikeouts. He will represent the Oakland A’s in Washington DC. It is his first career All-Star selection.

Jesse Alexander worked harder than you today. He got better today. He won today. Because he's a winner. THAT'S the schedule of a winner.
Her name is Anne Elyse. She's perfect. She's a fighter like her mother. I'll be sure to respond to everyone's well wishes individually but for now thank you so much. Please keep praying. We just want our daughter.
My heart. My daughter is so precious, beautiful, and loved. This evening she was given the go ahead to come home!! After 9 long days on the NICU, my baby is where she belongs. Thank you so much for all the support and prayers, we are overwhelmed.
I looked it up, so now you all need to see it.

Today I coached my last games on this field as head coach at Ecclesia College. It didn't dawn on me until after the games.
My greatest surprise was my wife taking a day off work and bringing my daughter out to surprise me.
They're my everything.
Ecclesia senior
@JustinFriemel
just casually squatting 500 pounds. Relatedly, he has one of the highest exit velos on the team. Strength is just one portion of our development plan for our athletes, but it is an important one!!
This field has come such a long way because of so many hours and care given by players and coaches alike.
*apartments are right next to the LF foul pole
*weight room & lounge are right behind the 1b dugout
Great place to zero in on your development with close facilities!
To this day one of the most emotional moments I've ever seen in baseball. A man who spent two decades dominating everyone with an expressionless face, sees it all come out at the end.
To move more efficiently, we must first understand how we move, our thoughts and our feels
HUGE S/O to
@THE108WAY
&
@108_Performance
for pushing our program to invest into water bags & balls!
🧵 of our 3 favorite prep drills:
1️⃣ Shakes to engage core/balance
You'd think this would go without saying. Parents. STOP. EMAILING. COLLEGE. COACHES. ON. BEHALF. OF. YOUR. CHILD.
There isn't a world or a universe where that's best or what any college coach wants to see.
I am honored to announce I have been promoted to interim head baseball coach at Ecclesia. I am grateful to
@CoachHardie
for investing in me and bringing me on last year. I love these players to death, and I cannot wait to get back to work for them!

Young pitchers, please don't assume you can get away with this to your coach. There's a short list of people in existence that don't get ripped publicly for this. Most are MLB arms. Respect is not handed to you.
We are overwhelmed from the support from this tweet. Our daughter is still in the NICU, they seem to have stabilized what was the cause for concern for now but she's not out of the woods yet. My wife is being discharged so we can go to the hospital they transferred her to now.
My 2 cents on that Stanford arm:
* I don't know his arm
* I don't watch him train
* The player signed off on it (his career to live. NOT anyone else's)
* They won
* What he did was unbelievable and should be celebrated
*Seriously talk more about how amazing that performance was.
A week or so ago I found out around half our team has never heard of the movie miracle, or the true story behind it. Well that just won't do. Fixing that now.
#DontTakeTheTest
Turning a 12 win program into win 32 and counting by year 2 is pretty par for the course for a coach like
@GGrinder33
Not enough people talk about him and what he's done at Ottawa and UTPB.
I want to listen to him on stage at
@ABCA1945
.
My wife's brother is having a double bypass heart surgery tomorrow morning. He's 17. He's had heart issues in the past.
Everyone please say a prayer for him tonight/tomorrow.
We moved from VA to Arkansas. wife said "pull the trigger now" on this assistant job paying PT money. She had no job when we moved here. wound up working THREE jobs over the course of the next year to support me. I can never repay her. We uprooted our lives and she is my rock
SHOW LOVE FOR ⚾️ COACHES WIVES!

Mine sends me off for weeks at a time to get this program rolling while she battles 2 kids & selling a house like a boss!
Love you Chels!
Share YOUR story & what makes her so special!
Our field has quickly become one of the more quality grass surfaces around.
I drive this way to my office becase I love admiring the view. So many players, coaches, and community members have put so much into what this field is today.
We all take pride in what we have.

@tonykemp
Worst call of the year? Tony Kemp was pinch hitting too. That was his Opportunity to make a tangible mark on a potential comeback. He did everything right. Got screwed.
The 2023 Frontier Community College Bobcat baseball team sent 9 sophomores to 4 different division 1 programs now.
4 - MAC
2 - OVC
2 - MVC
1 - Horizon

Going to Target to make a baby registry with my wife brings a pretty sweet mix of emotions of excitement, anticipation, and holy crap I'm gonna be a dad.
Stocked on chocolate milk and ready for the 10 and a half hour drive to Dallas. Because getting flights never crossed our mind!
@ABCA1945
Would love to connect with any and everyone, DMs open!
@DOM_Frederic
We're hard on him and rightfully so, but no one can question his heart and this was very much one of those times I'm thankful he's a leader for us.
A play (and a first) from our intersquad yesterday. Catcher Austin Butler threw out a runner and exchanged the ball between his legs.
He came off & told me he didn't realize he did it until it was too late. He usually transfers the ball that way when the pitcher misses there
If some of these high school travel organizations cared as much about coaching and developing their players as they do trying to ensure they get the 3rd base dugout, the game might be in a better place.
Rain changed our first fall scrimmage. So we improvised. Spent some time on pitcher/hitter interphase in pens. Hitters took physical timing and mental reps. Pitchers got quality pen work in with batters in the box.
@PERFECTTIMINGAR
is always so gracious to allow us to get it done
@BleacherNation
Wow, after barely 100pa just like that.
Never mind the defensive metrics, The 13-13 in SBs, The general baserunning metrics.
0.7 WAR total this year so far.
This must have been written by someone who has never seen him play.
I clicked on the
#DamarHamlin
hashtag to see if I could find an update on his health and all I found was people arguing over whether or not the vaccine caused it.
Sheesh.
Working on some high velo off the pitching machine and this is what I see my guys doing between rounds. Never a wasted moment to get better. Many thanks to the great
@JTBaker51
for graciously allowing us to train at
@PERFECTTIMINGAR
when the weather forces our hand.
Ecclesia baseball is so thankful for the time we had with
@Potter_Sam00
. His tireless work ethic and dedication left such a great impression! We are sad to lose him but happy he has received a co-manager position with a quality baseball facility closer to home!

I was the guy who was younger and said "I only want boys." when we found out my wife was pregnant, I just prayed for a healthy child. Nearly 7 months of fatherhood. I wouldn't wish for anything but the joyous little girl God has blessed us with

Proud to announce that

family. All hitters will have their own sensors and individual profiles. Our staff has been very impressed with how we can instantly get feedback on adjustments and drastically enhance our offensive development

Congratulations to first year head coach
@BrettNeff
Everyone please pray for the family of one of our players. They lost someone very close to them. There are broken hearts across our baseball team right now. Comfort and healing is what we covet.
Week 1 in the books
1st intersquad in the books
1 thing we try to head off during the recruitment process and is a motto we have, we cannot want it for you more than you want it for yourself.
It seems like we have some new guys who really want it and it's fun to watch.
It's not often a coach leaves under positive circumstances. When
@CoachHardie
left EC in my hands it was just that.
4 yrs later, I'm so happy to say the keys to this program now go to this man who's worked for these boys at Ecclesia for two years.
EC baseball is in good hands
@NAIABall
It would be nice to post alll the scores from today and yesterday.
Cody Butler was acknowledged well.
Here is the score from the morning
Along with the UPDATED STANDINGS on our website.
I expect better from you guys.
You guys do a awesome job for all NAIA Baseball Athletes.
@BleacherNation
This is just a spot on assessment. Stroman's first comments were about the fans and the team behind him.
His 8th inning expressment of excitement was representing the entire teams success.
Furthermore, he consistently tweets about his teammates' success between starts.
Probably one of the coolest moments of this weekend (and there were plenty) was seeing our lone COVID senior Elijah Saldana hit his first ever college home-run.
He was given another chance because of covid while he finishes his degree, and he got at least one great memory.
One of the most enjoyable things about this Bobcats team is their support for each other.
We have live ABs and whether they're hitting or throwing live on that day everyone is there supporting each other. No one asks to miss or leave early once their daily work is done
Proud of our guys, played 26 innings yesterday and came back reporting at 7:30am for a 10am start and took care of business finishing the 4 game sweep.
Baseball finishes the sweep of Crowley’s Ridge College with a 5-3 win! Freshman Kyle Ramey earned the win allowing just 1 hit. There were hits up & down the lineup with Senior Caleb Wood going 2-3 with an RBI.
My nephew, who was just named a 3rd team D3 all American for football, got up at 6am this morning to get his lift in so he wouldn't have to disrupt the day opening presents and hanging out with us. That's what winning looks like. Prioritizing what needs to be done. Balance.
Move in weekend is always one of my favorite (and busiest) times of the year.
Seeing old faces and getting the new ones to their new home. The next chapter begins. Let's go!!!!
#Bobcats
First day back and the weekends crazy weather forced us inside. That doesn't mean we can't get better defensively. Don't ever let coaches tell you that there's nothing outfielders can do inside. Here's some examples of some no glove work on GBs and some reaction time.
We are all inspired by Caden's attitude and work ethic. He considered hanging em up (twice) and are so thankful he's giving it a fair shot!!
He was a .300 hitter last year before the injury.
Coming up on 5 months post TJ. I am extremely grateful for all of the trainers, coaches, friends, and family members who invested their time in me and have gotten me back to this point.
I truly cannot wait to throw on a
@BaseballBcats
jersey again!
@MattMcCue15
Most of these seniors have been here since day 1, those who transferred in joined the family immediately. This picture tells so much about the culture that has been built at EC and I am so blessed to be a part of it!
The Royals baseball team had a successful senior weekend honoring 10 outstanding young men. They will head into the playoffs tied for 8th nationally in the last regular season poll.
