🧵 On this day… sitting in a waiting room unable to help my son….. I decided to question everything I ā€œknewā€ about baseball This day Changed my life And as it turns out- 10 years later- it changed the course of baseball AND softball in Western PA - forever

Always wanted a Fields Medal at PVS.. maybe???? So proud of you Luke!! If you go to PVS & have trouble with your Math Homework…. We got a guy šŸ˜‚
Congrats to Luke Lamitina who became the 1st PVS kid to graduate from @Caltech Graduating from Caltech is like completing an intellectual ultra-marathon in one of the world’s most elite, rigorous scientific environments. It’s a rare achievement that signals exceptional talent, resilience, and deep technical mastery. Caltech is tiny (undergrad enrollment around 1,000) but extraordinarily influential. It has the highest Nobel laureates per capita of any U.S. institution…. And now we got one!!! Way to go Luke!!! #PhysicalFourPointO

This girl was under recruited. And I’m going to keep talking about her a lot this summer and beyond Also has a ā€œlittleā€ sister (2029)
A lot of people missed on this girl & @chathamusb got a steal. McKeesport 2026 @ryennthomas has been retooling her swing since Late March at PVS and she put together her best session yet yesterday. Today: šŸš€ High academic young lady with elite athleticism & turbo speed (led WPIAL in Steals twice). Now putting the hit tool together nicely.

I’m on the phone 2 hours a day this time of the year. I don’t charge a nickel. I wouldn’t even know how. These kids have come to me for years.. is when they need me to make a call .. I just do it. They deserve it. This whole thing has gotten so weird
What % of transfer portal entries are actually driven by inexperienced agents (or ā€œadvisorsā€) overpromising NIL and rev share money? The explosion of agencies in HS/college baseball the last 10 years is wild. Last year, only ~90 players in the entire country signed for $1M in the MLB Draft. One analysis put average Power 4 baseball revenue sharing at ~$365k per team — roughly $10,700 per player on a 34-man roster (we all know there are exceptions). So no… not every high school or college player needs an agent (ā€œadvisorā€).

Day 5: #SummerOfCharlotte 🧵 Teaching beginners how to throw I find that the racing elbow in girls throwing is a result of 1/ weight & size of ball 2/ observing how parents throw to them & repeating For Charlotte- I have her start facing away from target throw over a fence

4/ making her aware of what’s happening rather than just doing it so easily right handed. Everything lefty is talked through &understood. The downside of that is she definitely slows down to think about things … but it’s only been 5 days so we will see if this proves worth it.

5/ in the lefty throws she’s exhibiting the classic racing elbow we see in all the girls that travel to Pittsburgh. So after we get the timing element down we will turn her around and ask her to throw high. Both are good prescriptions for young girls learning how to throw

I once told a talented athlete that the position they loved was not their future , the measurables said so, plainly. The family was not happy. But I would rather they hear it from me than learn it from the bench. Playing an athlete where they truly excel is not an insult. Fit over fame. It is the difference between belonging and hanging on. Want to know who, just reply " WHO"

Wife: why are you happy she swung at that Me: it’s so important that she ā€œwantā€ to swing… even more than getting a hit. Is the ā€œwantā€ to hit
A moving bat is a dangerous bat.
