These 45 sec are great by Nick Saban discussing athletic instinct and using baseball as the example. Just goes to show you how difficult ⚾️ really is when the coaching 🐐 uses it to describe unteachable actions

Dear 2025 class - just because it’s 8/1 and the phone doesn’t ring doesn’t mean you give up. Recruiting is not what it used to be. Get in the weight room get stronger. Keep working on development. Your time will come. For those that do get the call, you don’t have to commit today
For all HS & College baseball prospects. This is spot on from Reds 1B Joey Votto. Couldn’t be more correct. If you cannot time up FB velo @ the higher levels in this game your baseball career won’t last long. As the ole saying goes “The key to hitting a cb-is not to miss the fb.”
As coaches how often do you give a 3-0 take? Lose that and teach guys to hunt and drive on 3-0. Many times it is the best pitch you will see yet as coaches we take that away from hitters. Don't over think it and make it harder for hitters.

Do you dream of playing professional baseball? For those that complain about fields this is the Pioneer League in pro ball. Do you think a single player is complaining that they are playing on a soccer field with lines everywhere? No chance. If you want it you’ll play anywhere.

#RollVicRoll
One of the 1st questions asked from a coach/scout “can he play?” Or when asked about a measurement often hear “does it play” That’s the marriage question between scouting and analytics.

I believe many times that God will show us what's next but we have blinders on or simply don't want to believe that is what God has next. It is not for us to agree with but it is for us to act on. My friends that is FAITH. Show courage to act on it.

. Take a minute today and appreciate that despite our flaws we are still and will always be the greatest country in the world. Our colors are red, white and blue - not black and white. We are one, built on the pursuit of freedom.
Yet someone will break down his hitting mechanics as being wrong and he could be so much better if he just had his elbow here or his hip action like that or his hand path.
Sometimes you just have to appreciate greatness, tip the cap and move on.
This weekend uncovered hidden gems, further cemented the status of others and provided a weekend full of dropped jaws. This level of talent doesn't care about a ranking next to them, they have a goal in front of them and took a giant step to reaching it.
