Alyssa Nakken made history last night as the first-base coach for the SFGiants.

Team has a 5-2 lead in 4th. Players on team ahead are walking out to their positions. Immediately a turnoff for me. Score was 5-5 by end of inning. Your ability to play each out w/great effort & focus is a non-negotiable. Don’t take your ability to play for granted!!

Bunting is the game’s lost art. Most believe the bunt base hit is found in the element of surprise or a big jump out of the box, so they usually foul the pitch off. The hit is found in placement, put in a spot where you can’t be out. Bunt first, then run.

MAKE THE DEFENSE STOP YOU. Fred Hill, my college coach, used the expression “run for the possible.” Sure single? Round 1st for the possible double. Sure double, run for 3. Sure out? No such thing. This is what it looks like when you round 1st correctly:

Navigating the college search process is hard enough 😨 Wondering what college coaches are actually looking for can be even more difficult 🤔 We’ll give you a hint; evaluating talent is about much more than homeruns and no-hitters 👀 ➡️

PLAYERS: Today marks the start of the MLB season. If you want to play in the Big Leagues... or college... if you want to make your school team... spend the next three months watching as much baseball as you can. You can learn SO much as a player just by watching others play it.

The year is 2020 and Anthony Rizzo is giving opposing players hand sanitizer at first base.

The #1 thing a hitter can create is TIME! When you learn how to use your lower half to start early & control the forward move you have now created an advantage and as Big Papi says “Bury back knee, boom, be light with front leg”

It takes what it takes...

Congrats to Cass and Jas for going yard today. #spartanpride

College softball is 4 years and your career is 40. Your degree won’t have the softball program on it. It will have the university name. Use softball to get ahead in life.
