If u desire to play collegiately but aren’t playing this fall, ur encouraged to reconsider. The landscape for HS seniors is only getting harder. Talked to a college coach 2 weeks ago - many schools don’t start HS discussions til July. Why? June is focused on the Portal.

Enjoy some down time before senior years starts up in a few weeks. Don't lose sight of your academic or athletic goals. Good thoughts here ... 👇👇👇

For my guys looking to extend their careers past HS - Connor Lavery Derek Kubek Isaiah Logan Ryan Yurisich Darren Barnes Caleb Allen - the college baseball world is crazy right now. Focus, work, and be proud of wherever you land!
