The McDowell Trojan Baseball community would like to wish Coach Vinny Carone the best of luck as he moves on to coach at the collegiate level. We know (first hand) that he will do an excellent job! Thank you coach and best of luck at Brevard College!
PBR wasn’t there tonight, but Nick Hamilton was dominant against what is, in my mind, the best lineup in the state.
FB sat 85-87, topped at 89.
Worked a 4 pitch mix. All for K’s
5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 10 Ks.
I will be back in Erie over Winter Break and giving baseball lessons to anyone looking to get some extra work in this offseason.
DM or email if you are interested!
Maybe one of the best Freshman campaigns McDowell has ever seen (.426 BA, 1.046 OPS, 26 RBI)
Jake has come through in every big moment and has done it against the best arms.
Still more to come this season!
A lot of young, talented Trojans who are learning what it takes to wear the “M” at the varsity level.
Being able to get on our field this much in the fall has been extremely beneficial in teaching these guys the game.
3 racks today filled up with 315+ for 5+ reps 👀
Just as proud of the guys with smaller numbers who have seen HUGE improvements this fall and winter.
Anxious to see what numbers get turned out next week for MAX Week!
No one more deserving than Carter!
Came in as a Freshman with a long swing. Has worked incredibly hard to improve. Started seeing progress last season until he came down with a season ending injury early on.
This season, the changes he has made are paying off. (.350/.490/.475)
Congrats to these 4 men on graduating!
They had a season taken away due to COVID. They played for 3 different head coaches. They never complained once.
All they did was succeed as people, students, and athletes no matter the circumstance.

Love seeing evidence of development!
One big change we made this year was tracking every lift.
This created accountability, helped youngsters learn their strength level, and created positive feedback for the boys.
Let me get this straight
♦️ BAMA lost to Texas at home by 10, almost lost to 2, 6 loss teams
♦️ Michigan cheated all SZN
♦️ FSU goes undefeated and dominates but loses their QB
Coaches preach control the controllables, but I guess a few rich guy’s opinions is all that matters
Loud session just now from ‘23 MIF Jacob Banks (McDowell), one of the more impressive on the day. Averaged a 90 mph exit, grabbing 93 mph at his peak. Furthest result landed 343 feet away to the LCF gap. Leveraged attack.

Nick has been a workhorse for a couple of years and is getting stronger the more he throws.
Up to 89, sits 85-87 with 4 pitches.
He would be a great addition to any college staff in a couple of years.

A lot of good news at the meeting yesterday! Thank you to
@MillcreekSD
for investing in quality research and considering these proposals.
I’m optimistic!
Team Grossman wins the inaugural game by a score of 20-18.

Unanimous MVP:

That’s a wrap on our 2021-2022 Winter Kid’s Camp!
Thank you to all who came out and to all of our players and coaches for helping out. We had a blast getting to meet the next generation of Trojan Baseball players.
See you in the Spring!

I’m reorganizing some of our scouting reports from last year and I want to update our system a little bit.
Does anybody have good charts/scouting report templates that they use?

new favorite LIDOM thing that I am somehow only just noticing now is that Estrellas manager Fernando Tatis Sr. has a custom office chair (??) for maximum dugout comfort
Watch his rear leg… crazy single leg stability.
1️⃣ If you are a young baseball player do more SL exercises! You don’t need weights to improve balance.
2️⃣ If you can’t cntrl your weight like this, you should not utilize a leg kick!Stay grounded, Stay balanced, know yourself!
I’m sorry, ND was in the CWS last year and they have 7 of their 40+ games televised?
The basketball team hasn’t won in a month and they’re on National TV every game!
Sadly, humiliating your opponent has become common place in amateur baseball.
There’s a big difference between playing with energy and passion, and screaming expletives at your opponent.
Actions comparable to the latter need to be removed by coaches and players.
Today marks the anniversary of Roberto Clemente’s death.
There are a lot of great Clemente quotes, but this has always been my favorite. It captures his humility and his charity. I think we could use more of both in our world today.

Have always loved Carpenters swing.
👉 Extremely balanced throughout swing
👉 Barrel on plane SUPER early…drops the barrel on the catchers head
👉 Super tight turn, no push at all in his swing
Super cool that PBR is doing this!
One thing stands out: Teams outside of PA play WAAAAY more HS games. Most play more than 40, whereas in PA you are limited to 20, plus playoffs.
Might be something for PIAA to consider moving forward 🤔
