To say I’m proud just doesn’t come close. This guy embodies resilience, grit, enthusiasm, and humility. It’s beyond a privilege to be in your corner.

🄵🅄🅃🅄🅁🄴 🄶🄰🄼🄴🅂 🅁🄴🄲🄰🄿 ‘27 Gabe Fink (AB) The best athlete in Western 🇨🇦. Up to 90.8 from a short, deceptive AA. 2-plane CB w/depth. Tight, hard slider that plays well off FB. Also a 6.6 runner with EV’s that regularly go North of 💯. N2K. @PrepBaseballAB |…
Sweep the sheds. Team MVP who hit .500 on the season and led the way, in every way, last out of the dugout to make sure it was left better after than found.

Special special group. They were relentless in pursuing getting better every day and learning to play Renegade Ball. Early in the year, they were challenged to see what our record could be June 27th to the end. Without a doubt left the jersey in a better place. Super proud…
🏆 SEATTLE SHOWCASE CHAMPS💪 Renegades wrap up the season with another tournament championship, and a 45-23-2 record! The team especially finished the season strong, with a 22-5-1 record from June 27th on, including two tourney championships. #RenegadeBall
Tarik Skubal is a great example to pitchers for dozens of reasons, but one in particular I’d like to point out: Despite throwing absolute ⛽️, his best pitch is his change up. The change up is the least sexy pitch to develop, but even if you’re a power pitcher - it may be worth…
“We’re out of shape” is coach speak for “ I have no idea what I’m doing”
Renegades Keep Rolling Winning 8-1, Improve to 2-0 in Seattle! Dechaine & Buchko solid on the mound Tetreault Morgan Leblanc multi-hit games 5 stolen bases in the game (208/244 on the year 👀!!) We improve to 42-23-2 on the year. Final round robin game tonight
The game doesn’t owe us anything. We owe the game. When our time comes, the game will go on just fine without us. Our job is to leave it better than we found it for the next generation. Honor it and respect it. Thank you Ichiro.
To Ichiro Suzuki, respect and honor are everything. The baseball legend sat down with Bob Costas to talk about his illustrious career and life. 📺 Debuts Saturday, 7/26 at 7pm ET on MLB Network
One of the toughest things for pitchers is the fact that you can’t throw hundreds of balls daily in order to work on your craft. The gun sight drill and shadow throwing aren’t perfect, but are great ways to get tons of reps to gain awareness of what your body needs to be doing
I just finished reading the Catcher in the Rye. I think everyone who hated this book as a teen (like I did) should re-read it again later in life. Fascinating how much I enjoyed it this time around in comparison.

Ichiro Suzuki got his 3rd hit in his 10th at bat for the Seattle Mariners and his career MLB batting average never dropped below .300 for the rest of his career. 😮
What's missing from young athletes' lives these days? it's the fun stuff, it's the easy stuff, it's the stuff they used to do a long time ago but somehow got forgotten when everyone's driving to practice every night or playing intournaments all weekend... It's the riding bikes…
I’ve come to realize that to find joy in the trivial, the minutiae, and the everyday tedium - is a skill. As the sword sharpens, resilience is built ever greater. It takes far less to be happy, and so you can endure suffering, pain, and whatever life throws your way in stride -…
