8 years ago today I became a professional baseball player. Today I sprayed 35 lawns in 100% humidity and worked my ass into the ground. Young ball players, PLEASE understand that every choice you make has a consequence!

- Replying to @nblount41Getting drunk/high is a temporary feeling but living in regret everyday never goes away. Never be afraid to ask for help and always consider the consequences of a choice you’re about to make. I am always available to talk if anyone needs me!
- 🚨EXCITING NEWS🚨 I’m proud to announce that I’ve accepted the role of Director of Baseball Operations with @GeorgiaBombers In addition to this new leadership position, I’ll be continuing as Head Coach of our 17U scout team and stepping into a new on-field role as Head Coach
GIF - Players STOP letting one bad plate appearance RUIN your entire game. Good ball players use the result of their first AB (good/bad) & turn it into a positive for the rest of their ABs. Or you can mope back to the dugout like a loser & take that into the field. The choice is yours!
- When a coach shows interest in you as a ballplayer you may want to consider your response before you type out some half ass sentence (like your friend is messaging you on Snapchat). Even dudes who throw 90 and hit bombs are replaceable. Little things matter 💯
- This is for all the young bucks that are talented on the mound.. If you’re 15,16,17 and you’re batting .190 in travel ball.. holster the damn bat son! That is if you’re serious about getting an opportunity to continue playing this game in college. Tired of this conversation 👊🏻
- Don’t ever take a single pitch for granted boys. One day it’s here and the next day it’s gone. #GDV 🍊
- My dawgs 🤟🏻 @GeorgiaBombers 16u @VictusSports 22-10-1 Boys rode out all year‼️ Proud as hell is an understatement, thank y’all to every single player/family ❤️ Y’all made this has-been ball player remember what this game is truly about 💯
- When you become a @GeorgiaBombers player you have every coach in the organization going to war for you on and off the field. Thankful to be apart of this group. #LFG
- “I’m very comfortable in opposition. I’m very comfortable in adversity.” @inkyjohnson We Do Not Quit. No matter what, keep working. @BombersGeorgia
00:00 - Proud as hell of these kids. The message has been the same since the fall… “put yourself on the map & make a name for yourself.” They did that & more this weekend, played some damn good baseball & competed their ass off. Don’t sleep on this squad 💪🏻❤️ @ZTBombersGA @PG_Georgia
- To my boys signing today.. couldn’t be more proud or happy for you all. Y’all were overlooked constantly & when nobody else would, you bet on yourself and put the work in. Keep that fire, don’t become complacent. Refuse to be outworked always. I’m always here if you need me. 🤟🏻
- Absolutely 🔥 up to have been given the opportunity of HC @GeorgiaBombers 16u @VictusSports next year❗️Players looking to be apart of a program that focuses on #development #recruiting #compete 💯 Hit me up for tryout info or any❓#LFG @WesRynders @MarucciDugout @ftrstarsseries
- Young men, a little life lesson for ya.. Don’t forget the folks that actually gave you the time of day when nobody else would. That is all.
