D-BAT Gallegos manager credits his mentor for teaching him about baseball, life
FARMINGTON — The celebration started moments after D-BAT Gallegos third baseman Noah Hill lifted his glove into the air, signaling he had caught the game-winning out of Friday's championship game against the Midland Redskins. Players from the Dallas-based team sprinted to the center of the infield, piling on top of each other and basking in the bliss of winning the Connie Mack World Series.

Recruiting a player that has only played baseball for two years.
New to the forum here – great information on this site. I’m looking for some advice and guidance. My son just started his senior year of high school. It’s worth noting that he’s a young senior (16-year-old), who will not turn 17 until late November. Anyway, he just started playing organized baseball two years ago. During these past two years he has completely fallen in love with baseball. Even though he lacks experience compared to other players, he managed to earn a starting spot an above...

Why YOU Could Be To Blame For BAD BODY LANGUAGE!
Why this may be the most important message you've ever read... Can mental toughness be taught? You want to know what I think? Yes! But you know what… It starts with parents and coaches like us, we’ve got to hold our kids accountable inside every single activity! We can’t let them off the hook and point the finger at the umpire, coach or teacher and when that “poor me” body language pops up… SQUASH IT! If not, it’s bound to happen again! Body language is powerful! In fact, your character and...

NCAA / Vandy
I didn't want to take anything away from Rob's post about his son's ex HS teammate, I think its great that the kid is getting his opportunity on a national stage and hope he does fantastic..... But... It is hard to believe that the NCAA can find a kid ineligible at this time of the year. Grades would have been posted a month ago. I don’t specifically care what the kid did, that’s between his team, him and his family. It seems odd that whatever he did was done after the last game he played.
