My latest project that helps hitters with in game adjustments/approaches. Massively upgraded a previous pitcher tendency chart I created a couple years back. Will send to a couple of coaches to test out and see if we can make it better.

The most absurd thing about this kid, no one wanted him cause he didn't throw 90. Can't put a measuring stick on the kids heart & toughness

On Feb. 23rd Ahmaud Arbery was unjustly gunned down while out on his routine jog in Brunswick, GA. Today Alex and I dedicate our 2.23 mile run to you. Happy Birthday young man and may you Rest In Peace! #IRunwithAhmaud

3 concise/short phrases or words for players to get centered, stay simple, and locked in. Write it on an index card, laminate it, put it in your back pocket as a reminder to keep it simple. Make this part of your on deck routine and go COMPETE! #mentalgame

My guys busted their tails off in the classroom this fall! Proud is an understatement as they accepted the challenge of finding value in themselves other than just on the field.

I’ve been waiting for this to become official, and words can’t describe how humbled I am for this opportunity. I will leave behind a great community and kids, but also eager to be a leader of young men for the Spanish Fort community. It’s time to get to work! GO TOROS!!

Truly a program/school award. Alignment is a word I like to use. Fortunate to have great administration, great coaches, great players, great parents, and a great family at home. We don’t do what we do without the support everyone.
Spanish Fort Baseball is lucky to have Coach @PRU334 leading our boys. Congratulations to him on being named 6A Coach of The Year! What an an amazing season!

Dear coaches: We pride ourselves on providing growth & contribution for those we lead. We sacrifice our personal time for others. There will be people who don’t get it. We strive to teach life long lessons that sports can provide. It won’t matter to some. Stay the course.

Talk about leaving teammates out to dry! Sheesh! Vastly different cultures on display in the Orange Bowl. One is a “what can I do for the program”, while the other is a “what can the program do for me”.

Working w/ USA Baseball has been truly humbling. The people, coaches, & opportunity to be a part of a team that contributes to the development of baseball is truly special. Being a part of something larger than yourself to serve the 🇺🇸 is something I will forever be grateful for.

Unfortunately, this is 1 of a long list of botched calls this association has made. It’s a very sad day for our state athletics. I feel for @MoseleyAdam and his kids. We play the national anthem before every event! He represented what we STAND for!! Doesn’t make sense.

Talk about getting the chance to be around some of the most influential and courageous individuals. It was an HONOR to serve these men and women that committed to the most selfless act ever and that’s serving our country.
THANK YOU to all of our veterans who’s sacrifices allow us the freedoms we enjoy everyday. Thank you to @NorthBaldwinCoC for allowing the Coyotes to spend Veterans Day serving those who served for us at the Bay Minette Veterans Day parade kick off breakfast.

It’s been really fun watching this young team grow over the course of this fall. Really hard not to love this group. Guys that come to work every day, are great teammates, and have fun together. Lucky to be their coach. #FAITH.
Took a break from baseball today and tested each other’s grit on the gridiron. Coach Threat’s team came ready and put on a show!

Couldn't be more excited to welcome Dr. Milner. He is a man of integrity and one of the best leaders of people I have ever worked for. Can't wait to see what incredible things he will achieve for our students. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to learn from him once again.
During its regular meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 10, the Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Dr. Aaron Milner as President of Coastal Alabama Community College. Read more at

Had an incredible opportunity to volunteer w/ Habitat for Humanity in AZ over the holidays. Moments with fellow volunteers was filled with laughter and gratitude especially my rock star of a FIL. I highly recommend volunteering with H4H, it was my 1st but certainly not my last.

A great time for people to stop falling into the trap of playing the victim. Life isn’t fair, FSU has a great opportunity to control THEIR narrative by beating Georgia. Put your big boy pants on, suck it up and go WIN. If not, you prove them right. Champs run to the hard stuff.

Congrats to all inductees last night. Montevallo is very special place that I hold dear and Doc is a class act. So many great memories were reminisced and I’m truly humbled and honored to be enshrined in Montevallo sports history forever.
Congratulations to Dr. Hamilton and @PRU334 for their induction into the @UMFalcons HOF! Two of the best to ever be part of @UMoTownBaseball! Thank you for all you gave Montevallo! Thank you for being Falcons!
