Sitting at the airport reflecting on the fall for @spectsbaseball… A few things stood out about why this program is so special for our @mnicemen players — and for all the partner orgs in the system. 1️⃣ It represents what “connected baseball” really means. Players who have competed against each other for years in the Midwest now come together on the same Spects rosters — building lifelong friendships and trust. In a world where so much of youth baseball has become transactional, this is something different. 2️⃣ The 2027 group that just won the WWBA Underclass Championship has had the same core since they were 13. They’ve grown up together, learned together, failed together, and now win together. They play for each other — because they feel they owe that to one another. 3️⃣ I’ve gotten to know these families on a real level. From helping with college guidance to talking through off-field challenges — these relationships are genuine. That’s what makes it worth it. 4️⃣ The Spects National brand has never been stronger. Three national championships this fall — 2027 PBR Cup, 2028 PBR Cup, and 2027 WWBA Underclass — all earned by blue-collar Midwest kids proving they can play with anyone in the country. The north continues to be underrated, and it’s time that narrative changes. Taking over as President, my goal was simple — get the train back on the tracks. This fall, that’s exactly what we did. I couldn’t ask for better partners who all share one goal: do what’s best for the players. In a world full of transactions, come be part of something bigger. Come be part of Spects National!!! @MNIcemen @mnexposbaseball @Prime27_17 @GbaDevelopment @IowaSticks @Prospects_NE @ARPROSPECTS

These guys are SAVAGES. They LOVE to compete and have fun doing it. What makes this group special is their uncanny ability to stay connected every pitch. They demand the most out of each other, hold each other accountable, and bring an infectious energy to the dugout every time they take the field. Looking forward to building off a special fall last year that ended with a WWBA @PerfectGameUSA Underclass Championship!

Spects National pitching rotations are set for this weekend. 2027 Spects National Gominsky and Marsolek open play Friday at the 18u WWBA Kernels Foundation Tournament. Chasing that feeling once again!!! #SpectsNational #BlueCollarBaseball

We are back!!! Pumped to coach this LOADED roster of STUDS!!!

Ended MN Icemen club baseball winning the Fall Championships. It’s been a great ride with these guys and @GoGoGominsky22 over the last 3 years. Had a great summer playing the best competition in the Midwest. Avg: .310 OBP: .468 Innings Caught: 97.2 CS%: 23.08% 1 passed ball

Want to know who usually separates themselves at the next level? Watch what they do when nobody is making them play. Every fall I see players start looking for reasons to do less. Less baseball. Less training. Less competing. Fewer opportunities to be on the field. Then there are the guys who can’t get enough of it. If I’m a college coach, give me the kid who LOVES to play. The kid who wants the extra reps, wants to compete, wants to practice and genuinely loves the process of getting better. There’s nothing wrong with balance. But if your goal is to reach the highest levels, understand who you’re competing against. The 1% aren’t looking for opportunities to do less. They’re obsessed with the process because they genuinely love the game.

12 years after starting the Minnesota Icemen, another special chapter comes to an end. The 2027s went out the only way that felt right. Champions. 🏆🥶 I’ll remember the late nights at the facility, road trips, poker nights, mini golf battles and, most of all, how much these boys loved to compete. They made me a better coach and mentor. It’s been an honor watching them grow from kids into young men ready for college baseball. Once an Icemen, always an Icemen.
