14 Black Bears in the past 12 years have made their way to pro ball following their time at Maine 👀
We hope to extend the streak of five-straight years of a draft pick to six as we are just over a month away from the 2026 MLB draft!

This is one of the best pages I’ve seen on X
If you have a kid who plays travel baseball you really need to follow @JermaineCurtis and read what he’s saying
It’s so good

A.I. is going to completely change travel baseball.
GameChanger already tracks:
-stats
-tendencies
-pitch counts
-spray charts
-velocity
Once A.I. starts interpreting all that data…
development becomes more personalized. Recruiting becomes smarter.
The game changes.

With that being said, pretty badass for @PencilTalkPod to get recognized at the airport today!

Personal friend, a friend to @MaineBaseball and a flat out baseball maniac passed this week. If you knew Steve, you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t I hope you get the chance to meet someone like him. Always in the stands. Go Blue! ellsworthamerican.com/obitua…
