My guy

Ray Kerr was working at a 7-Eleven and a movie theater, thinking his baseball career was over. Then he got signed for $2,000 and spent seven seasons in the minors. He just dominated the Phillies over 3.1 scoreless in his first MLB postseason game.

One of my favorite Braves traditions when the opposing team makes a call to the bullpen they put a spotlight on him running to the mound and fans start to chop and chant. Truist Park is electric! This is playoff baseball so much better than a 2pm game!! #LetItFly

Got told this morning by a P4 recruiting coordinator “The velo guys are doing ok, the guys with a change/split they can show for strikes- even if it’s average- are outperforming the top velo guys in productivity” Sharing so yall realize good hitters can piss all over 95 if there is nothing to go with it Sliders and curves that are above avg or elite help a ton don’t get it twisted, but basically they sit fastball unless they get 2 strikes I’ve now had over a dozen recruiting coordinators tell me the same thing about changeups - use this info how you wish I’m spoon feeding yall the answer here

If you only work hard when you feel motivated, you’ll never be consistent enough to reach your biggest goals. To succeed in life, you need to have the discipline to work hard even when you don’t feel like it.

Lots of "firsts" in these Game 1s tomorrow

Robot umpires overturned 54% of challenged calls in the first season of the automated ball-strike system as catchers were far more successful than batters. More: spr.ly/6016BGvZP8

AWESOME: Dickinson College’s football team had its FIELD GOAL UNIT take over campus to promote its upcoming game. Players were running routes, snapping footballs, getting random students involved before reminding everyone to show up at 6PM wearing black.

My dad had a line he repeated my whole childhood: "You should never be outworked or out-prepared." There will always be people smarter than you and more talented than you. But you control the effort and the prep.

You have a kid playing sports? Listen to this. You've ever fallen on your face? Listen to this. Ever failed? Listen to this. Insane respect for Bryce in the way he framed this. It needs to be heard.

And then there were eight … See you Saturday. #ALDS #NLDS

Among the best 👏 Kansas has 9 JUCO recruits ranked in Perfect Game’s Top 100 JUCO Transfers list and 2 in the Top 10!

My JUCO coach used to say: “If you want to play at the next level, you have to become a COMPLETE player.” Hit. Defend. Think. Compete. Don’t just develop the skill everyone notices. Develop the PLAYER. Masterclass from Dave Roberts.

You can hate the result and still honor the people who earned it. Respect doesn’t end when the game does. After Ole Miss lost to Florida, quarterback Trinidad Chambliss waited through a TV interview to congratulate Florida head coach Jon Sumrall.

We waste a lot of energy on things we can’t control. The past. The result. The future. What other people think. The better question is: What can I control today? My attitude. My effort. My response. My preparation. How I treat people. That’s where your energy belongs.

5-FOR-5, 2 HOME RUNS, 7 RBI MLB’s No. 1 prospect Jesús Made delivered an all-time performance!
