👇🏽 This right here is a hugely important piece of information that recruits and their families should genuinely take a moment to process. @FlatgroundApp @FlatgroundBats @jakerobbins49

Recruiting is wild… (like you didn’t know that already) We’ve officially offered all of our high school roster spots before Thanksgiving. This hasn’t been the case since the Covid year. The significant change is simply the 5 year rule & our expectation of returning seniors.

Signing Day is a great day in college baseball. Many families get to celebrate years of work today. Two reminders: If you’re signing, understand exactly what you’re signing. If you’re not, don’t act like your recruiting process ended today. More here: flatground.org/blog/2026/11/…

Really enjoyed meeting Drew Eklund and his family in person yesterday. The jump he's made recently reminds us a lot of Flatground alum and MLB Draft pick @DudanJacob. Drew has the talent and character to be something special. Excited to see where this journey takes him. ⚾

Great to have 2026 Team MVP Nicholas Romano stop by practice. Had a great summer in the MLB draft league, won a championship with the Williamsport Crosscutters.

🧐Thought for Coaches Today ❓Are we developing players who can think for themselves, or players who look to the dugout for every answer? The game moves too fast to coach every decision! Athletes need room to fail, improvise in the moment. They need to learn to play the game freely! Teach them how to read situations, make adjustments and trust their preparation, then let them go & do! #Baseball #BaseballDevelopment #PlayTheLongGame @FlatgroundApp
