Showcase culture has hurt baseball in a lot of different ways. One thing that really stands out is that teams not only don’t know HOW to win games, they don’t CARE to win games. No killer instinct.

Then why am I seeing D1 players at elite programs pimp a base on balls….or bat flip a sac fly? But yeah, coach is gonna cross a dude off because the kid didn’t power wash the dugout after the game 🙄 I’m not saying it’s right. I’m saying it’s 2026. Coaches get paid to win games.

It is tournament weekend, and most families have the coach's attention backwards. Parents film the home run. They film the diving catch. They post the highlight. A college coach at that same game is watching the at-bat after the strikeout. The walk back to the dugout after the

@CoachTimOlson1 Your answer doesn’t address any part of what I said. You gave me the “company line”.

@BaseballDudes48 -Time limits on games -Umpires that don’t know balk rules. -Missing signs -Pitchers that don’t think knowing how to hold base runners matters.

Do you know of other sports that don’t use a scoreboard in highly competitive, very expensive, games/tournaments? Somehow it’s acceptable in ⚾️. Walk into a ⚾️ game and 90% dk the score,outs or inning. Would that fly in 🏀…🏈…⚽️? Even LAX gets one 😂 #WTF

As I sit here on the 250th of the greatest country ever created, I want to say it once again…. Ending a baseball game in a tie is un-American, some might even say communist. The cruel irony is that it cost a kings ransom to play in the tourneys that set these rules.

Solid weekend in Maryland with @WNYProspects 16u going 2-1-1. I was able to piece together some nice ABs and worked around 83 mph on the mound. #classof2028 #prospectselect

As a baseball scout, there are two concerning hitting characteristics with HS & College hitters that stand out more today than ever before. 1) No Plan At The Plate Successful hitters don’t just hope to get a hit—they know what pitch they’re hunting, they exercise zone awareness, they know what part of the field they’re trying to use, they know how to work counts, and how they’re going to attack pitch to pitch. They have a plan, they don’t just “wing it.” If you fail to plan—then plan to fail. 2) Lack Of Competing In The Box Every pitch is a battle. Fighting off tough pitches. Refusing to get beat. Making the pitcher earn every out. Competing in the box isn’t about the “result”—a hitter can go 0-4, but have four quality at bats. Competing in the box is about your approach, focus, and effort every single pitch. Yes, swing operation and talent matters, however a “plan” and a “competitive” mindset in the box separate good hitters from the rest. Never forget . . Success is never owned. It is only rented, and the rent is due everyday!
