If somebody is telling you not to play summer ball as a high school player and just “train” you need to get a second opinion. Guess what? You can lift the day before a game, the day after a game even the day of a game. But you need to PLAY and COMPETE!

- Coaches: What are some funny, clever 1 liners as coaches you say to umpires? Not to get kicked out of games, just to let them know you don’t agree with them or a certain call.
- After leaving pro day today and watching the skill set that was on display from all the guys who attended 1 thing is for sure. This conference is loaded with talent and if you’re in high school and think you are above the PSAC come to a game and watch, it’ll change your mind.
- If you aren’t familiar with CALU and our program look us up. First class campus, first class staff and administration, professional park as our home field and most importantly, a place to grow on and off the field! #calwho #calu #tradition 🖖🏼🔥⚾️D2 #collegeoftheday is California University of Pennsylvania! Alumni include: Bob Bailor, Bruce Dal Canton, Birdie Cree, Rick Krivda, Bob Coulson, Mick Fennell, and Kyle Petty. @calu_baseball
- Pitch framing doesn’t matter if the ball doesn’t make it to the catchers mitt. Spin rate doesn’t matter if you can’t get outs. Exit velo doesn’t matter if you can’t hit in games. That is all.
- Through a completely remote fall with nothing in person. Teammates not meeting eachother until the end of January. These guys handled their business and earned a ticket to the dance. I’m so proud of every single member of this team and staff. 🖖🏼 ⚾️ 🔥 #familyBASE: @CALU_baseball earned the third seed in the PSAC Tournament and will travel to face second-seeded Mercyhurst on Wednesday in a single 9-inning elimination game at 12 noon
- Call me crazy but I don’t care about your turn and burn velo or exit velo off a tee. So I definitely don’t need to see a video of them. Much more to the game then that
- Grit and accountability need to make a comeback
- I want to thank all the travel & high school coaches that have made this recruiting class possible. During these challenging recruiting times your unbiased assessments of your student athletes were helpful beyond words. The future remains bright for @CALU_baseball. Thank you all
- ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ this is not a lieReplying to @j_noro44Funny how D2 gets looked over. I played with and against some PSAC schools that would win the Big 10, MAC, Big East, Big South etc...and a ton of guys drafted every year.
- For a college baseball it's simple. If your team is important to you, you find a way to get it done over break. If not you find an excuse
- TB has it workin'. He's struck out three thru 2.0 IP. 💪 M2 | 🐯 0, 🦅 0
- Use the lessons from 2017 to make 2018 the best year for you. Not just physically but mentally. Learn from your mistakes but do not dwell on the past. Make your goals so tough people laugh at them. Then work to achieve them every single day #whynot
