Mets relief prospect Ben Simon will be the opener for Team Israel on Saturday vs Team Venezuela.
Simon has been up to 98 mph this spring and has pitched three scoreless innings.
Crazy cool: Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes combined for three college offers coming out of high school, they revealed in a joint interview.
Skubal got one. Skenes got two. Now they're starting the 2025 All-Star Game.
HITTERS: Training to become a good hitter doesn't mean you take a swing in a cage and immediately snap your head around to check the "data."
I see way too many hitters trying to train to hit numbers but only a few who are training to hit well when the games begin.
Which hitter are you?

I’m hearing a lot of coaches/parents complaining about the insane amount of money they have spent to go to Georgia only to realize they did not see value in it on the back end - other than the “experience”
Break it down $ wise:
Probably costs a family of 2 from the Northeast let’s say $3,500 for the week in hotels, flights, rental cars. meals etc
Probably 20 players per roster X $3,500 per player - that’s approximately $70,000 in revenue spent to possibly see 5-15 coaches at your games if you were “off site”…
If anyone wants me to explain how much more they can get out of that same $70,000 - and guarantee they get seen by a maximum amount of coaches I am willing to help them.
Wasted money is worse than wasted talent
HS players will be in a better position if they use their financial resources better
Fiscal responsibility when it comes to travel baseball is a real void in the space. With the advent of the transfer portal - there needs to be changes made

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: This leaked footage of a Chinese bot farm is going viral. Bot farms are where multiple devices connected to the internet with different social media profiles engage in a targeted post to boost its engagement. I wonder which X creator has a relationship with them.

This false. The video is not from China, it’s from Vietnam. It’s also not “leaked”, it’s a promotional video distributed by MINsoftware of Hanoi.

ATTENTION ALL YOUNG COACHES: the more you mic yourself up & post your lessons, the harder it is for people to believe it’s not all about you. Work in silence, be smarter w/ social media & just teach the game. Your clients will be your best form of marketing….if you’re good 😉
Winning machines.
Tanner Gresham and Steven Graver each exit the program with career .800 winning percentages on the hill.
That slots them each into a tie for third best in program history!
This time last year, Alex Madera was playing Division III baseball at Arcadia University.
Last night, he hit the game-winning RBI single to send the Tar Heels to Supers 🗣️ ⚾️

Transfer Portal Legislation UPDATE for D1 & D2
NEW LEGISLATION SURROUNDING THE TRANSFER PORTAL RECENTLY WENT INTO EFFECT
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
If you have entered the transfer portal on or before 4/17/24 coaches are able to communicate with you freely at this time.
However, If you have entered the portal on 4/18/24 or later, coaches cannot communicate with you until June 3, 2024.
Any coach who is communicating with you if you fall in this time frame of entry into the portal, is creating a TAMPERING VIOLATION. So no, coaches are not ignoring you 💪
If you are a Graduate Transfer this rules change does not apply to you. You are able to enter the portal at any time and have communication with coaches freely
There are some who either do not know this is new legislation or are choosing to ignore it.
Either way, prospective student/athletes coaches, recruiting services should be aware of this change 🙏💪
