Can we stop tweeting about offers? We get it, your services are wanted. But tweeting every offer makes you look like a tool. Go on your visits, get your offers, check your ego, then tweet about your commitment. “Look at me, I’m special!” Is what I see when you tweet about offers

Thinking about changing my travel teams name from “Lexington Grays 16U Martin” to “Lexington Triple Platinum Elite Prime Rawlings Grays.” Would that get college coaches to come to games? Or is it the players? Idk, I’m lost and just want a super cool name

Thread: I want to share my own story on the importantance of strength and throwing velocity. I was 6’5 and “weight room weak” coming out of HS. I topped 89 or 90 (supposedly, b/c our gun was broken and our HS coaches just guessed how bad it was off), but more like 86-87.

No excuse to play uninspired baseball at 16-18 years old. Idc about a lot of things you do (as long as they don’t reflect too poorly on your character) but go ahead and quit if you’re screwing your teammates over on the field b/c a game “doesn’t mean anything” during a tourney

Idk about you, but I learned to throw accurately by throwing to a pitchback in my backyard. My parents and neighbors yard didn’t have a fence, so I learned not to miss b/c I didn’t want to chase the ball. Learned to throw it hard b/cI wanted high pop ups and hard ground balls

With summer baseball coming to an end, evaluate where you stand against your competition. You either got exposure or got exposed. If you got exposed, train to change that! If you got exposure, break out of your comfort zone and train harder to continue to grow

The best thing that ever happened to me as an athlete was when highly respected college coaches told me I wasn’t good enough for their programs when I was 17-18 years old. Went to JUCO with a chip on my shoulder. Friends with some of those coaches now, but boy was I motivated

Thread: Kids are not dumb. They understand that they need to “throw strikes” at a young age to “compete.” Telling them to throw strikes yields a similar result as your boss telling you to “make better points” in the middle of a big presentation you’re making

Feet under the hips, tall, and all pieces (minus the throwing elbow) are set inside the back foot. Took time out of my delivery without having to rush, and felt like lower half was very similar to windup. Try it. A lot of my guys love this setup
@TreadAthletics
Ben Brewster

Coming set with the weight on the front foot is a strategy a lot of efficient throwers use to keep the same weight shift they have out of the windup. ⁣With weight distribution in favor of the front leg, it forces the weight out front and creates better angles to drive from.

During our game today, we had a two way guy warming up in the pen during the last inning. He was going to come in if things got weird. He started throwing out of the windup, and we yelled “stretch!” He then took his glove off, reached down and touched his toes... 😑😑😑

This kid went from not making his HS team as a freshman, to having some insanely nasty stuff and being a competitor. His work ethic is matched by few, and he is extremely coachable. Someone is going to get a good one when they grab @_kennedyparks9

@jrobfoot1024 was my strength coach and is one of the best I’ve ever encountered. He kicked my ass, and made a huge difference for me with work ethic and form on lifts. Dude made me focus more on executing rather than just being over hype and not focused

Two of my @HCHSbaseball19 boys who are two of the first handful of kids I worked with as a coach. Today was my last game coaching them! @LucMorgan2 and @_kennedyparks9 are both great kids who have been extremely hard workers with positive attitudes. Bright futures!

Mound is complete, minus the rubber. Don’t mind the 2x4 taking its place for the time being. Thanks to @tguil_ @ProctorMercer and @_mnielsen13 for the help on this. We stayed more than 6’ apart at all times. I sat on the back porch and sipped lemonade the entire time #supervisor

Sucks as my business is less than 10 months old, but we don’t want to contribute to the spread of this virus. Not looking for any handouts, just some good vibes. Hope everyone stays safe and diligent complying with guidelines. Hope we can resume soon. Going to miss my athletes

PPL and @WattsStrength facility on National Avenue is CLOSED until further notice. We still have remote programming/video training options available for those interested. Tough time owning a new small business, but we need to do our part to help the community. Stay safe, all!

How does Jacob deGrom average 94.44mph on his FB?? He’s 6’4” but he only weighs 180 lbs. Idk man, this pic doesn’t tell me anything. I bet his trunk rotates slow after this frame. Thanks for the GIF @PitchingNinja

Big shoutout to @AaronBeard24 for helping get this thing rolling! Can’t put into words how happy I am to have @15ttingle on board and running the operation in Louisville. Travis is extremely knowledgeable, relatable and is a great role model.

3 IU guys hanging out at the yard! @coachgogo26 and I were excited to have coach @coachzman at our 9:00am game this morning! My friendship w/Z-man started over sharing a jersey number and thinking it was cool, but has grown into him always coaching me and keeping me grounded

Broke out the @LantzWheeler core velo belt at our HS practice tonight. Thanks to @TheKevKoltak for coming to help out. Needless to say, we will be getting several more sets. Here’s a video of @_kennedyparks9 getting some use out of it on some dry reps

This kid is couch hopping to be able to train this summer. Not an entitled bone in his body and has intention behind every rep he takes. Holler at me if you’d like to know more or be in the loop as he progresses to adding offspeed. FB will end up being a seam shift sinker 🤙🏼

🚨Uncommitted LHP🚨 Cole Elkins 90-94mph 2 years of eligibility remaining. First bullpen in 6 months (FB Only, rehabbing from an injury). Focus has been on health, building volume/intensity & a few mechanical changes. Will update offspeed/FB shape as he progresses @coleelkins23

Going through old pictures tonight and found this gem from juco. Won’t post a full montage or anything, but was a fun to watch the evolution of my delivery, and think back on some of the dumb stuff I tried. @Coach_JayBee playing a little 1B here. Fun times at @VU_baseball
