If you're a D3/NAIA guy trying to transfer up, be a key everyday player who is consistently one of the best players on the field.
Otherwise, you're just a D3/NAIA guy getting outperformed or sitting behind other D3/NAIA guys.
Nothing wrong with that, but not what D1/D2 wants!
We had a ton of rain today, but when you are next to the Kalsee Dome/Next Level Sports Center, we go indoors!
If you're in the area, come check out our Southwest Michigan Miracle League fall games every Saturday!
Always great having the college guys out for our buddies!

Probably have a post like this every few months, but...
If you run verified a 6.9 sixty at a PG event, and soon after your HS coach clocks you at 6.3 at your HS tryouts, I'm not saying your HS coach is wrong, but you don't run a 6.3 sixty

Few things in life are perfect.
The moment after @notthefakeSVP's son Charlie won his champs swim meet was perfect.

Golf parents are the most composed of any sport parents
Kids prepare and then are left alone to compete without hollering, sideline coaching, etc.
What if more baseball parents acted like they were watching their kid play golf? Could that help performance and add less stress?

And with the 9th pick in the draft, the Braves select AJ Gracia! @ncsa #MLBDraft2026 ⚾️
Graduated HS in '98. We were using -5 bats with 2 3/4 barrels with no regulation on exit speeds
Then my freshman year of college, had to adjust to the -3 with the smaller barrel
Not every HS kid is going to play in college...giving some leeway there isn't the end of the world

Great talk with @jackson_root__ at @BonniesBASE! Talked about finding the right mix of HS recruits and transfers to build a strong DI roster. When talent is similar, work ethic and dedication separates guys!
