Can’t agree with this statement more from a coach I respect very much in @SkylarTMeade
If you go to JUCO that means you love baseball
JUCO also develops toughness better than any other level
It’s a PRIVILEGE to play college baseball at ANY level!

Talent is important at the highest level - but so does strength.
Do not forget to continue making gains in the weight room this summer.

How many players have I scouted or recruited and thought, they'd be a prospect, but they're too strong?
Or.
They would have been a prospect, but they're now too big?
Or.
They would have been a prospect, but they're not flexible enough because they got too big or too strong?
None, it never happened.
How many times have I heard someone say a kid was too big, too strong or not flexible enough because they were too big and strong, during a scouting or draft meeting?
Never, it never happened.
How many of the players during the steroid era had their productivity diminished because they got too big, too strong or became not flexible enough.
None.
Your body is your billboard.
What does it say about you?

Players.
Are you resilient enough to prove your value as a player?
Or do you have ice cream smeared all over your face because your mama and daddy treat you like a soft weak pansy.

The College World Series is full of weird kids.
Weird because growing up they've been all in.
They've been willing to sacrifice for what they really want.
They've been willing to walk alone at times
Their fun is doing things others don't want to do.
Look at the bodies and ask yourself if you're on pace to look like them.
The majority of kids playing on that stage were and are simply willing to work harder, sacrifice more and prioritize being good at baseball.

The truth that many refuse to believe.
Jun 12
GREED from these “advisors” is dirtying the waters of college baseball recruiting and the transfer portal.
They’re out here pushing players to jump in with big promises of NIL money, revenue share, and a much better home — when the actual numbers show most of that is fantasy for the average kid.
Thousands of players enter the portal every year chasing exactly that. But data from the 2025 cycle shows roughly half of baseball players who entered never even appeared in NCAA stats the next season. They didn’t land a roster spot at a new school. 64analytics.com
Of the ones who do land somewhere, the median increase in playing time is modest at best — only about 1 in 3 sees their role grow by more than half. And in baseball, real money (beyond a scholarship) is rare for most. The big NIL and revenue-share checks go to a small handful of elite guys. Everyone else is often left chasing ghosts.
Stop letting greedy advisors sell you on portal moves that frequently end with no new home, no extra money, and sometimes a worse situation. Performance and real fit still matter more than the hype.

Are you raising this kind of kid?

That dude that just stole home! Armani Guzman...
That's the same kid who hit .053 his freshman year and was a role player. A Swiss Army knife for his club.
He always had the speed tool. Freshman year they used him mainly as a pinch runner. 1 for 19 at the dish. Most guys would have transferred or quit. He went to a summer league, made adjustments, only hit .248, but came back more prepared.
2025, back on the bench again. Hadn't started in 30 days. Coach noticed two pinch-hit singles in a blowout loss and put him back in the lineup.
He didn't try to do too much, he just contributed. Trust was being built.
About a year ago in the regionals, he hit a walk-off sacrifice fly. Then 4-for-5 with the go-ahead RBI in the 8th. The 2025 Regional MVP batted 9th.
His coach said it best.
"His mentality has been so spot on. You want to talk about a confident guy that's not arrogant. He is in such a strong place competing right now that he knows he'll have success." Coach Sabins, 2025
He wasn't confident because things were going well. Things were going well because he stayed confident!
By 2026 he's breaking the all-time stolen base record at WVU, delivering walk-off hits, and helping send West Virginia to Omaha for the first time in program history.
As a former D1 coach and 7th rounder, I love this story because it's real. The work wins. The best players fail the most, they just refuse to let it stop them.
In a world that wants everything now, let's play the long game.
Belief comes before ability. Always has. Let's let the next wave of athletes embrace this mentality, stay consistent, and stay persistent.
I went down a rabbit hole on Guzman because I saw it wasn't always easy and smooth sailing for him, as that's how most athletes on TV appear. Adversity will always show up. It's how we keep that belief and keep improving. Kudos to Guzman and WVU, fun to follow as a baseball fan.
I pulled much of this information from WVU sports, domainpost and 247sports.

This is what college baseball is supposed to be about.
Tough gritty kids.
I would assume Troy and West Virginia spent a lot less NIL money than the rest of the World Series field.
and
Troy probably spent a lot less than West Virginia.

The majority of development requires toughness, discomfort and resilience.
Contrary to popular belief it doesn't happen with white picket fences and an ice cream cone sticking out of your mouth.

Teaching players how to be resilient is more important than teaching them how to throw strikes or hit a breaking ball.

Elite competitors are elite at heightening awareness and doing something extra to find a way to win.
They play with different gears and know how to be the best competitor on the field.
Coaches can go entire careers and never coach an elite competitor.

But Johnnies high school coach, travel ball coach or college coach told him not to lift heavy because he would get too big.

I am spending the summer @CresseySP, and playing 6 tournaments with my @nextlevelbb family. I am dedicated to getting better every day and fully back from my surgery. It has been an awesome summer so far building relationships at Cressey and two successful tournaments with NLB.
