got ejected for this excessive celebration after hitting a game tying homerun. What do y’all think and let me know where the excessive part is please

I’ll break down individual achievements later.
I’ll take
#18
on my team.
There’s a line with sportsmanship. The high fives to the other team and the clapping for your opponent after you just lost the championship crosses that line.
Anthony Volpe… first big league stolen base
Lot of Volpe’s game is timing & movement
I really like this to further amplify what his first step can do
Tremendous slot back under the hip w/ great shin angle & he’s off. Elite
Folks, I don’t know how we’re gonna top this one and it’s the second day of the college baseball season. Nick Kondo of Chapman University pulls out the damn telescope after lacing a dinger. Amazing. I’m so proud. (BFG: 9.5)
I am blessed to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic career at Western Illinois! I thank god for giving me this opportunity as well as all of my family, friends, and coaches who have helped me along the way. Go Leathernecks!

So many people still say to have “a flat level swing” when the pitch is thrown at a downwards angle having a flat bat path is the exact opposite of what you want. Get on the pitch plane early and maximize your hitting window
Train in environments that require adaptability
My challenges as a coach/trainer today are how do we build practice environments that correctly represent the game
AND
How do we train/develop the underlying physical capacity to give them the most opportunity for success?
UPDATE: 🚨
The NCAA Division I Council has approved a measure to turn all volunteer positions in college baseball (including all sports) into a full-time coaching positions without recruiting constraints. Volunteers will officially become full-time coaches on July 1, 2023.

. Shrink the zone with 2ks
Instead of expanding the zone as we talked about in
#2
.
We’re going to shrink the zone in this approach.
In my experience, this approach leads to the least strikeouts and the most productive ABs when a hitter gets to 2ks.
💥The Pride explode for 6 runs in the top of the second lead by a Brad Miller two run homer

⏰Heading into the bottom of the second, Game Two
Lucky Horseshoes pitcher Matt Cruise was hit in the head by a line drive while pitching on Thursday Night. Matt was transported to Memorial Health. He is alert and in stable condition, surrounded by family, coaches, and teammates. We will provide updates as they become available.
Very excited for the opportunity. Looking forward to being able to build not only great players but tremendous young men of great character.

Until hitters realize it is better to miss hit a ball in the air (miss up) they will never reach their full potential. North and south swing path is the first step.
