Our boys playing in Goodyear at PG event run into Guardians 1st round pick Jace Laviolette. Boys are excited. @JaceLaViolette2 @CleGuardians

We all look for different things in players. When I’m watching hitters. 1. The good ones have swagger. A confidence that can’t be mistaken. 2. Batters Box Presence. How they get themselves ready,movements to time ball. 3. They don’t miss in the strike zone. They drive balls.

Some more Jackson footage of him moving his barrel and centering up another baseball.

Jackson can roll the pole. His approach works for him and he is usually good for two to three hits a game. Contributes in accountability moments. Bat is a next level weapon.

Will has had a fantastic summer. Gets after it between the lines and his hidden tool is his speed. Big moments of game hitter. Plays quiet….but loud.

Jonny be GOOD today.

The quiet Assassin. Jonny was dealing yesterday, no-no thru 6 and reached his pitch limit. Strike thrower, changed speeds, sped up ball and created many gd angles on plate with his 3 pitch mix. We have loved having him in our program.

Like to show good kids, even if they don’t play for us. Hack is a worker and a warrior on the field. Good look at him getting rid of the ball quickly and on the money. Likes to play.

DT has put a lot of work in silence. Getting the most out of his ability with the bat and when he is on the mound.

The Brinkster. Impressive the swings and misses he gets and his ability to disrupt timing.

Jonny did it on mound and with his bat yesterday.

Brink has had a fantastic summer. Pitch ability. Ability to get many swings and misses versus his split/change. Gets better every time he goes to mound. Outstanding performance down in LA at CCYB and finishes his summer in this outing.

Looking for two more guys. My friend Sean Gualco the sitting secretary of this group. Don’t know why he came up with this name, especially after I take all their money. sleeper.com/i/LV99lqMaVkdbW

Congratulations to Kevin Mello. Northern California scout for @astros signing August Cuneo. Sign em before they are good, because when they are good everyone can see it. Great Non Pack scouting. Seen Cuneo he is a dude… future Big Leaguer. Reminded me of John Hicks.Very athletic

Being a Giant fan, today we are getting a look @SFGiants that we thought we would see once @RafaelDevers came to the Giants. Thunder in middle of lineup. Great to see a lineup that all are contributing. Exciting to see Chapman go yard and Verlander quality despite the walks.

Nothing is perfect. Dennis Dewhurst 2027 Biggs HS threw fantastic for us in summer of 2024. He came back with us in 25 with highest of high hand slot almost over hand. We went to work, he went to work trying to find his natural slot. Last Sunday we got a glimpse of the old Dewey

Are youth baseball players ages 14-18 years old really ready to play 5 games on a weekend let alone 3. To maintain a level of consistent play and energy. To maintain a concentration level to play to 100% of their ability. If your body is not ready how can you expect ur mind to be

We all see or explain things differently in a swing. In 4 shots of Cody Belanger getting on plane thru the strike zone. 1. Land foot hits. 2. Hands lead barrel. 3.Knob gets pointed towards where ball is coming from. 4.Look at position of eyes,out in front 5.Head over back knee
