Bobby Massie. An entire year of hard work is ended on a missed FG and the first thing he does is pick up the guy who feels the worst. Leadership
One of the best things this time of year brings is seniors giving everything they have for a chance to play 1 more day.

Well deserved & long overdue shoutout to two former
@MSUBaseball
student managers
@Joshwo1f
&
@jake_heilman9
for both accepting positions with major league coaching staffs this upcoming season. Fantastic people who have extremely bright futures.
Coach G changed the course of my life - probably multiple times. He doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the type of program he runs & the challenges he overcomes. I owe him everything - congrats on 300, 19!
Somewhere in the past, there’s tiny little Andrew running around Waldo Stadium that doesn’t know his biggest dream will come true.
Thank you

Anybody that has ever spent any amount of time around
@piotrowicz_adam
isn’t shocked by this at all. He’s a 1 of 1 human and coach. Open minded, grinder, knows when to push & when to pull. I’ve always felt very fortunate I got to spend five years with him.

CHAMPIONS! Kalamazoo wins over Hope by a score of 16-2 in the 2022 MIAA tournament! 🐝⚾️
The Hornet offense put up 12 hits and the bullpen went to work to secure the trophy! 🏆🔥
Kalamazoo will play in the NCAA Regional and well be scheduled officially next Monday.

College baseball has so much unrealized potential across the country. We need to make the sport more equitable nationally, more accessible for young athletes of all backgrounds and invest in it. If we all get on the same page, it would rival college football popularity.
There's a large number of very successful future college athletes that didn't get to take a picture with an NLI today. National Signing Day doesn't decide your future - hard work and a willingness to keep showing up does.
Trust the process and believe in yourself.
I’ve been so busy with life I haven’t had too much time to reflect on the chapter that passed. Thank you

for the opportunity of a lifetime and the greatest five years I could ask for. I love that program with everything in my heart.
Just finished my last grad class at

Looking forward to two great prospect camps this fall on campus! Great opportunity to be evaluated and receive instruction from college coaches from all levels!

Proud of the fight our guy showed today with their backs up against the wall. No fall workouts, no cages until 10 p.m. most days during the preseason and yet they kept getting better everyday.
Best offense in school history.
Three guys that came to

@Coach_Andrews
classroom with the MSU Baseball stadium on the cover of our binders talking about the vision and now it's come true. Well deserved, Coach! Culture wins!
Our final camp of the winter is coming up quickly. Get ready for the upcoming season & get evaluated by our staff, professional scouts & other colleges in Michigan!

Texas votes “no” on a third baseball paid assistant but can spend thousands of dollars on rings for finishing 9th in CFB.
It’s not that schools don’t have the money, it’s how they chose to spend it.
Matt Stafford has been doing this for my entire life. Just out-dueled the best QB of all time. No mistake about it -
#9
is one of the elite QBs in the game!
Pretty proud of this dude. Another example of what this whole college experience is about. Struggled when he was younger, stuck it out & kept getting better every year. Made himself into one of the better players in the B1G & an Academic All-American.
Spartan, through & through!
Thanks to the

for coming to campus this weekend. Enjoyed hanging out and listening to some really great people talk baseball on a Saturday morning!
One tweet can’t describe the impact
@piotrowicz_adam
has had on me as a person, player, and now a coach. I owe him a ton. He’s quite simply the best & has more than earned this opportunity
Jack embodies exactly what being a student-athlete is all about. One of the best examples of accountability, perseverance, and professionalism I’ve ever been around. WMU is a better place because of his impact. I wish you got the send off you deserve

One of the best hitters in baseball hitting 1) off a machine and 2) failing a lot (fouled three straight pitches back). Practice should be more difficult than the game!
Leadership doesn't require punching teammates in the face and sacrificing friendships. Leadership is hard - it's not for everyone. It's knowing when to push somebody and when to sit down with them. It requires sacrifice, thoughtfulness and investment - not just yelling.
Jack’s personal & player development over the last three years I’ve gotten to be around him is what this whole college athletics experience is all about. He’s turned himself into one of the premier players in the Big Ten & an impactful leader off the field.
Before you tell a coach that Division III is "below you", do some research into the schools and see how many freshman play right away and have success. It's miniscule. College sports are really difficult! Make the best decision for you - not what will get "likes" on social media.
Most high school kids are not talented enough to go straight into an average division 3 program and start. That’s how good college baseball is. We have to educate parents and players better so they can get a better idea of where they belong in regards to level of play.
Hi yes hello we have this awesome niche product that our local communities would love to support and know about

The world needs to know this story. My first ever college baseball game we’re at UAB. We hit BP second so we head down the RF line to get stretched out while UAB finished up. There’s balls flying everywhere and as a freshman I’m just doing my best to stay alive. (1/3)
For all of the well deserved talk about the incredibly talented players around our league,
@jackbrockhaus28
is proving that he deserves to be among them. Leads the MIAA in Ks (24) and ERA (0.50). I'm just a dumb hitting guy - but that seems good.
Stud!

This shows the very real disconnect some coaches/administrators have about the realities of college sports outside of football/basketball. Six hours?! That's one movie, a nap, and one bathroom break at the Flying J in college baseball. That's what we call a good day!
On to a new beginning. Excited for the opportunity with
@kzoobaseball
and
@coachott7
. It’s time to get to work on championship baseball, this time from the coaching box and not the batter’s box.
Best of luck to all my guys at

College football has ten paid assistant coaches. College basketball has four. Why paying a third baseball assistant isn’t a slam dunk, unanimous decision shows the frustrating state of college baseball
SOURCES: If a vote was held today, it would be 50/50 on a paid third assistant actually passing.
In other words, coaches, you better talk to your ADs. This one could go either way at the moment. Momentum had slowed a month or so ago, but voices picked up.
CC Sabathia didn’t enjoy his first few years in the majors because he got hassled by veterans. He vowed to change that clubhouse culture someday. A look at the environment that has allowed Yankees rookies Miguel Andújar and Gleyber Torres to thrive:

just stole a win from the Lions. How many times have we seen this movie?
Had I gone to a school full of crazy people? I now realize chesting up fly balls in BP is the ultimate measure of a mental game warrior. The look on the guys shagging for UAB faces is something I’ll never forget. From that moment on, I’ve never respected someone more. (3/3)
