Athletic Trainers should be the “core” to an athletic program! There is no question of their value at any level, but at HS this is a necessity not a luxury!
All those clamoring for the return of all sports(especially in IL), I hope you keep/put some of that energy into the ATs/programs that continue to be cut. Every athlete deserves an athletic trainer, period.

COMMUNICATION: the most underrated aspect of team fundamentals.
Whether you are getting the out on a bunt, executing a rundown, or throwing the ball back in on a relay, you should always be talking on the field. The diamond isn’t a library!

“It’s all practice. I run the bases during BP. In spring training we are running bases. Constantly putting in the work for this time.”
Most players don’t take the same pride in baserunning that they do with other parts of their game.
Mookie Betts is not most players.
It saddens me that

Loved Nik after 1 game, but even more after 3 games…LHH w/ tools & plays game at very high level - Could not believe he was uncommitted - A baseball player+ tools!
2023 Uncommitted Nik Wede had himself a day went 3-3 2b, 2bb, 4sb and a home run here to cap it off. D1 looking for a high level OF that lays the game the right way, look no further.
