A lot of work went into this. From our players and coaches for sure, but also everyone else at IC that makes our team go. It wasn't easy. But we earned it.

3,548 NCAA baseball guys in the transfer portal as I type this. That's not counting NAIA and JuCo players looking for a new home as well or 2022s still uncommitted. If a school is showing you love on June 17, you should probably see what they're all about.

As fall ball winds down, the real separation occurs. Who eats right and trains hard? Who gets sufficient sleep and gets after it in the classroom? Who hits and throws and pushes when no one is watching? You'll see them in June. They'll be the ones dominating the competition.

Electric night for the guys. Two shout-outs to

These guys earned every bit of this. We challenged them with our non conference schedule. The league challenged them with a ton of games in a short time. The weather challenged them multiple times. But they won. Proud of these dudes is an understatement.

BB| YOUR ILLINOIS COLLEGE BLUEBOYS ARE MWC CHAMPS!!!! IC baseball earned a win in game two with a final of 8-1 to claim the 2021 MWC title. This team is the first in program history to win the conference title and be awarded a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Have to give a shout out to this year's pitching staff. We challenged them at the beginning of the year to allow less free bases and to strike out more hitters. They ended up allowing 94 less BB/HBP than '21 while also setting the school record for strikeouts with 273.

If this time away from campus has taught me anything, it is how much IC means to so many people, especially our team. Recruits: find somewhere that makes you unequivocally feel like there is nowhere you'd rather be. And don't let anyone else tell you how you should feel.

Quite a reach to say more college coaches will go to their games in this league. You know why there aren't many college coaches at HS games?? Cause we're at our own game/practice, not because we're actively boycotting HS baseball in favor of PG events. 🤣

After Wednesday's 29 strikeouts, the staff is all the way up to 31st (out of 386) in K/9. Two years ago we challenged these guys to get us more Ks. They set the school record last year, beat it again this year, and still have 2 weeks to go! A testament to their hard work.

There's nothing to gain from early morning lifts, practices, or any other "team building" nonsense anyone dreams up. Every bit of science says student-athletes need sufficient sleep. Find other ways to build a culture or comradery. Asking Timmy to work on <8 hours is a bad call.

That's not the point at all. It's August. The coach should/could have cut them a while ago. Now it's mere weeks before school and these guys thought they were locked in. It's not the onus of the player to try to do the math and assume they will be cut. They wanted to be there.

Pet peeve. Videos of pitchers who say "working 75% today" and throw closer to 95%+. If you max 90mph and are throwing 75% that's 68mph. Same with recovery days. If goal is to throw plyos at 50% and you're hammering Step Backs with a blue plyo at 66mph, you're missing the point.
