Couldn’t agree more, I can’t tell you how many 100+ ball exit speed guys I’ve seen that can’t hit, 90+ arms that can’t throw strikes and 6.7 runners that can’t run bases. Let’s start evaluating when the lights come on!!!
Spoken like someone who was got 2000+ big league hits himself. Take note players...baseball is more than just exit velocity...it's about IN GAME PRODUCTION!
Our Braves National 17u group led by

Over 20yrs ago on this field Coach Savino taught me how to be a man. Tonight I got to return to The Herm as his assistant coach at GA. After all these years he is still the best maker of men in the business!!!!

Has been awesome to see our seniors balling out in their last HS season!
What’s going to be even more exciting is the prospect of seeing 44 2022 Braves in college uniforms next fall, 21 of them at D1 programs, 5 at D2 programs, 12 at D3 programs, 1 NAIA, and 5 JUCO!
I’m excited to announce my commitment to continue my academic & baseball career at The University of Virginia. Thank you to my parents for their support,

finding loud contact with connection over SS head. Pounded LCF gap and swings carry over to good in-game at-bats. Up to 93 exit velocity and room to keep adding.

I agree Matt, there should have been concessions for Spring Sports like baseball, softball, tennis etc. they could have played a split season (games in fall and spring) with the way things are going they realistically could lose 2 seasons if things don’t get better.
This guys strong spring continues from MJ Flu game in the State Championship last Saturday to knocking in the winning run in his 1st Tourney of the summer,, elite defender, don’t miss!!
