Legit.
"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball......
But the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball, just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence.
I got a double.
When I got to second, Satchel told the third baseman:
'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.'
Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle, and I hear the third baseman say:
'There he is.'
Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me.
I walk halfway to home plate and he says:
'Little boy.'
I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect.
He walked halfway to home plate and said:
'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you.
I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down' and I'm saying in my mind:
'I DOOON'T THINK SOOOOOO.
If he threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere.
I turned to the catcher and asked:
“What does he mean?”
Catcher told me:
“He’s going to throw you three fast balls.
Nothing else.”
He threw me two fastballs and I just swung.....
I swung right through it.....
And the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said:
'Go sit down.'
This is while the ball was in the air.
Yes, he struck me out with three pitches.
He was just magnificent."

This a cool quick video for young guys to watch — without any commentary or drawing - or pop up texts.
And just see it done right.
You can watch it over and over and think “how do I put the flow of that into words?”

So my co-counsel out of Boston is telling me about his son’s team during trial - but I didn’t have time to catch a game - but the Massachusetts’ boys at Cambridge Rindge can play! @CoachBeede

One of the best dudes I’ve ever worked with
His success at every level speaks for itself
Also a coaches kid so not a locker room problem in the slightest

Grateful for everything ACU had to offer these last 2 years, but with that said I am entering the transfer portal.

Travel baseball has one major issue. We see parents already looking for the perfect “travel program.” Those don’t exist. What you need to be looking for is who has the best coach. The name doesn’t mean anything. The instruction means everything.

How many good coaches have we lost because parents refused to hold their own kids accountable?
The answers might surprise you.

I can say this now b/c no one can blackball my kid, but North Texas High School travel ball pitching INSTRUCTION is gǒu shi. Maybe its was only really bad in the 4 years I spent watching it. And i watched a lot. I’ve got handful of young pitchers I keep in touch with, that confirm it has not gotten any better. Here’s a few hints that your son’s travel ball pitching instruction is mierda de perro. (1) If your travel ball coach is not taking at least one video per game of the pitchers and giving it to them with comment— its crotte de chien. (2) If your travel ball coach lets your son throw 30 pitches in an inning — it’s hundescheiße. (3) If all of your pitchers have the same bullpen day, but routinely start on different days — it’s merda di cane. (4) If your travel ball coach is not actively warming up relief pitchers with 5 minutes notice — it’s собачье дерьмо. (5) If your travel ball coach does not enforce warm up and recovery protocols for the pitchers — it’s 犬のクソ. (6) If you bring any of this up, and get either a puzzled look, or push back because it’s not necessary — Definitely hondenstront. Think I’m being hyperbolic? Ask your pitcher what kind of instruction they are getting? If your kid is not getting better right now, every game, all you are doing is engraining psie gówno movement patterns, when he could be in a gym, spending that travel ball money with a legit personal trainer or pitching coach that will make them better. To those NTX travel ball teams doing the above, I’m really sorry I missed getting to see you play. THBMBT. @CoachBeede @Velo_doc
