Good luck @JasonFink04

Just spent 3 days at West St watching a 12B tournament! It was everything that youth sports should be, 8 local towns competing and kids having a blast. 16 games with zero issues and as a former late blooming B team kid I loved every minute of it! Thanks Mark Paster #tradition

I often get asked what is my favorite or the best pitch in baseball.. I always say the best pitch in baseball is strike one 🚀

Incredible person who genuinely cared about HS sports and the kids that play them. From his time at the Daily Transcript where I first met him as a kid to his Hall of Fame career at the Herald there's been none better! Walpole will miss you RIP 🙏🙏🙏

I couldn’t care less about being the smartest coach on the field. I just want to be the coach my players know genuinely cares about them.

One of the biggest mistakes I made as a hitter... I thought hitting was all about my swing. - If I struggled, I'd fix my swing. - If I hit a ground ball, I'd fix my swing. - If I popped the ball up, I'd fix my swing. Then I got to professional baseball. After being around Major League hitters, I realized something. The best hitters weren't obsessed with their swing. They were obsessed with their operating system. - They knew what pitch they were hunting. - They knew what pitches they could drive. - They knew what type of contact they wanted. - They had a plan before they ever stepped into the box. That completely changed how I practiced. I stopped studying my swing. I started studying myself as a hitter. I did this by... Going to Walmart, bought a notebook, and started tracking everything. - Every pitch I saw. - Every swing I took. - Every ball I hit. - What I was thinking. - What I was feeling. At the end of each week, I'd go back through my notes and look for patterns. Then I'd build a plan to improve my operating system. I wasn't trying to build a better swing anymore. I was trying to build a better hitter. Because here's one thing I learned from being around Major League hitters: The swing wasn't the starting point. It was the result of everything that came before it. Thank you for reading, Jermaine Curtis P.S. - If you enjoyed this and thought it was helpful, please share it.

I watch a lot of HS and Travel Baseball and here’s what gets evaluated that most players/coaches/understand: 1. Catch Play - how do you treat “getting loose” before a game? Is there meaning to it or are you just throwing to throw…. 2. Ground Balls between innings - 7-3-21 7 inn, 3 GBs/inn, 21 reps/game. How do you treat those? How are your throws? 3. On Deck Reps - What are you doing to prepare for your AB? You have three responsibilities. 1. Time the Pitcher, 2. Communicate w/base runners 3. Relay location to hitter. You’re not there to “get loose” 4. Response to Failure - how do you respond to a Strikeout, an error, a bad call, giving up a bomb? 5. Communication - Are you talking between pitches, directing cutoffs, helping teammates w/ pitcher tendencies, etc. 6. Competitiveness In Non Game Situations sprinting on and off the field, backing up bases, prep steps, moving with hitters tendencies, does every pitch matter? These are the aspects of the game that are often taken for granted but make a huge difference for your evaluation.
