Congrats to Yankee scout Matt Hyde on another big leaguer
Pumped for him. He always could hit. I completely forgot that the D-Backs just dealt him.

ORU moves along to the next dance. What Ryan Folmar Ryan Neill, Wes Davis and Jimmy Turk have done w/ this team is amazing. Some of the best people and coaches I’ve been around. They let players play and they get better w/ these coaches. Scout friendly is w/ out question. 🦅

Dear Baseball, THANK YOU! This mans name is “J” Harrison. This man saved my life. He is the scout who drafted me in the 46th Rd out of high school. I remember sitting in my fathers living room as “J” told me I wasn’t ready. My mom had just died, legal issues & the Military calling & no school options. Was I really gonna turn down money to play baseball? I HAD to. He knew that. “J” put me on the doorstep of Kevin Higgins at ARC JUCO & the rest is history. He didn’t care about me playing minor league baseball. He wanted me to survive. I just saw “J” in my hometown of Stockton Ca. I’m gonna get to go watch baseball with the scout who drafted me 20+ years ago in my hometown. Thank you baseball. Sincerely, Me.

1/ A concerning trend in youth sports is how often the youngest kids are compared to their peers. This is an issue among programs monetizing sports participation, coaches responsible for identifying/developing proficiency, and parents concerned that their kids are falling behind.

We mourn the passing of long time scout and coach Jim “Crawdaddy” Crawford. He was a friend and mentor to countless scouts and players. He is a member of the Southeast Scouts Assn. Hall of Fame. He coached at South Alabama for many years. RIP Crawdaddy.

Ron Vaughn is one of the most respectful and class acts of baseball. So glad to seeing him get some pub.
We would have never heard of Mark McGwire, the home run hitter, if USC coach hitting coach Ron Vaughn didn’t call Anchorage Glacier Pilots Coach Jim Dietz in 1982, saying he had a pitcher who was a raw hitting talent & to give him a chance. McGwire hit 13 home runs that summer.
