My best player doesnβt forget his belt...he doesnβt forget when the game starts....
He doesnβt:
- Ask if weβre almost done yet.
- Ask if practice is optional.
- Skip optional hitting
- Miss lifts
- Forget his glove
- Forget to pick up his teammates...
Just saying.
Another chapter of WTF are we calling? LSU hitter is called out for not getting in the box in time with 2 RISP, 0-2 count & 2 outs.
You have a packed stadium to see the game, itβs a key moment & youβre going to call this? What are we allowing to happen to the game?
When people ask if guys at the dominating college ball go straight to The Show, remember that college ball is not even close to AA ball.
In most cases, college is not close to Low A ball.
The βlet them be kids firstβ crowd hates this, but doesnβt realize it.
-Tommy Tanks went to IMG before NC St β> LSU

When freshmen get all worked up over their velocity. Thereβs always someone out there throwing harder.
Unless youβre this kid. Safe to say thereβs not another HS freshman throwing 97 right now.
The strikeout is called a βKβ because before we used numbers to score plays, letters were used for everything.
K was the next letter in βstrikeoutβ not being used.
Single - S
Triple - T
Run - R
Inning - I
π₯So K became the symbol for a strikeout.
Now you know π
Everyone who acts all high & mighty about velo, hope youβre watching 87-88 mph w/71-74 offspeed for Tennessee right now.
Some coaches need to remember how to coach pitching & stop relying on velocity to cover their hide.
Players:
Before this play Tre Morgan had grounded out, struck out & lined out on a ball that wouldβve scored the go ahead run.
He didnβt take it to the field, didnβt hang his head, he went out on defense to make plays & this one was HUGE!
Coachesβ Pet Peeves:
1. Not Hustling
2. Taking ABβs into the field
3. Bad base running
4. Pouting
5. Kβs without swinging the whole AB
6. Playing down to your competition
7. Not backing up
8. Not covering home on balls behind the C
9. Not throwing Strikes
10. Pβs not covering 1B
