I’m out here in Omaha enjoying the College World Series, and it’s one of my favorite events in baseball every year!

Watching these teams compete at the highest level is always a great reminder that every player has their own journey. I guarantee there’s more than one player on these teams who, at some point, questioned whether they should keep playing, wondered if they were good enough, or thought about giving up.

But they didn’t.

So if you’re reading this and things haven’t gone your way lately, let this be your reminder to keep showing up, keep working, and keep loving the game.

And if you’re in Omaha and happen to see me, come say what’s up!

🔥 Friday Fuel: Every Player Has a Different Timeline

You never know what can happen when you stay in the game.

📋 It looks like this:

✅ Not giving up after a bad season
✅ Continuing to work when results are slow
✅ Believing in yourself before others do
✅ Staying patient with your development
✅ Keeping big goals, even when they seem far away

A lot of players quit too early.

They decide what they’re capable of before they’ve given themselves enough time to grow.

The truth is, nobody knows exactly how good you can become—not your teammates, not your coaches, and definitely not the kid sitting next to you in the dugout.

The only way to find out is to keep going.

Never say never.

One of the things that always surprises people when they meet me in person is that I’m 6’5”. The number of subscribers who tell me, “Wow, you’re way taller than I expected!” is pretty funny.

But here’s something you might not know: up until my junior year of college, I wasn’t the tallest, strongest, or most physical player on my team.

I developed really late.

While some players were bigger, stronger, and throwing harder than me, I was still trying to figure things out. It would have been easy to compare myself and think I was falling behind.

But that’s the thing about baseball.

Every player has a different timeline.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Every Player Has a Different Timeline

One of the biggest mistakes players make is comparing their timeline to someone else’s.

📋 It looks like this:

✅ Focusing on your own development
✅ Being patient with your progress
✅ Putting in the work, even when results take time
✅ Understanding that everyone grows differently
✅ Trusting that improvement isn’t always immediate

Some players develop early. Some players develop late. Some make huge jumps overnight, while others build their game one day at a time. None of that determines how good you can become. The players who reach their potential aren’t always the ones who start ahead. They’re the ones who keep showing up, keep working, and keep believing in themselves. Stop worrying about someone else’s timeline. Focus on your own.

One thing I wish I understood earlier as a player is that progress doesn’t always show up in the box score.

Sometimes we get so focused on the big goals, making the team, earning a starting spot, throwing harder, hitting home runs, that we forget to appreciate the small wins happening along the way.

A great practice. A quality at-bat. Throwing strikes when you used to struggle. Encouraging a teammate. These things might not feel huge in the moment, but they add up.

The players who stick with baseball the longest learn how to celebrate progress, not just results.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Celebrate the Small Wins

Big goals are built from small wins.

📋 It looks like this:

✅ Getting 100 swings in
✅ Having a better attitude after a mistake
✅ Picking up a teammate who’s struggling
✅ Learning something new in practice

Not every day is going to be a championship moment.

Most of baseball is made up of small improvements that nobody notices except you.

The problem is that when players only celebrate the big moments, they miss how much progress they’re actually making.

Be proud of the little victories. Those small wins eventually become big ones.

As May rolls around, there’s been so much incredible baseball and softball to watch. One of my favorite things every year is watching the Junior College and NCAA College World Series.

I love seeing players come off the bench to pinch hit, or pitchers come in for one huge inning and completely change the game. Those moments are pressure packed. The crowd is loud, the stakes are high, and everyone is watching.

It felt really fitting for players, especially in big moments. So maybe this new phrase can be a reminder for you too: Big. Bigger. Best.

The moment is big. My belief in myself is bigger. And I will perform my best.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Big. Bigger. Best.

Big moments happen to everyone.

📋 It looks like this:
✅ Trusting your preparation
✅ Believing in yourself before the result happens
✅ Staying calm under pressure
✅ Wanting the moment instead of fearing it
✅ Competing confidently, even when you’re nervous

The biggest moments in baseball don’t always go to the most talented player.

A lot of times, they go to the player who believes in themselves the most when the pressure gets high.

The moment might be big.
But your belief in yourself has to be bigger.

I remember telling people I wanted to get drafted someday, and honestly, I’m sure some people thought I was crazy.

At the time, I wasn’t the best player. I wasn’t the biggest, strongest, or most recruited guy around. But even though I understood where I was as a player, I was still crazy enough to believe I could go further.

That’s something I think every player needs.

You have to be honest enough to know where you’re at… but confident enough to believe that doesn’t have to be where you stay.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Be Crazy Enough to Chase It

You have to be honest enough to know where you’re at… but crazy enough to think you can go further.

📋 It looks like this:
✅ Being realistic about what you need to improve
✅ Putting in work instead of making excuses
✅ Believing in yourself before other people do
✅ Chasing big goals without being embarrassed
✅ Staying patient while you grow

Every great player starts somewhere.

Nobody magically becomes great overnight. The players who improve the most are usually the ones willing to dream big while still putting in the daily work to get there.

Don’t be afraid to chase something people think is unrealistic.

One thing I’m really thankful for growing up is that I never had dreaded car rides home after games with my parents. Win or lose, good game or bad game, the ride home was always supportive.

But I know that’s not the case for everyone.

So this newsletter is for both players and parents because I think one simple mindset can make baseball a lot more enjoyable for everyone involved.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Shower After the Game

And no, I don’t just mean literally. One of the best things you can learn in baseball is how to “wash off” the game after it ends.

📋 It looks like this:
✅ Not replaying every mistake the entire drive home
✅ Letting yourself cool down emotionally
✅ Understanding one game doesn’t define you
✅ Saving deep baseball conversations for practice later in the week
✅ Moving forward instead of staying stuck

Talking through games can be helpful in the right doses. But right after the game, emotions are usually high for players, coaches, and parents.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is shower it off, reset, and come back ready for the next one.

The players who last the longest in baseball learn how to move on quickly, whether they went 0 for 4 or hit two home runs.

This week I got to hang out with a good friend who might be one of your favorite YouTubers, Isaiah from the Lapp Bros. We filmed a bunch of content together (more coming soon, get excited).

Honestly, it was just a lot of fun. Competing, making videos, playing baseball, it reminded me of something simple but important.

Baseball is always better when you’re enjoying it with the people around you.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Baseball Is Better With Friends

The game is always better when you enjoy it with your teammates.

📋 It looks like this:
✅ Laughing and keeping things loose
✅ Supporting teammates no matter what
✅ Celebrating the small wins together
✅ Talking, connecting, and building real friendships
✅ Making the dugout a place people want to be

You don’t have to be the best player to make the biggest impact.
Sometimes it’s just about being the teammate who makes the game more enjoyable for everyone else.

The best teams aren’t just talented. They actually enjoy being around each other.

That’s what people remember.

As I’ve played, I’ve had a lot of high moments in my career and a lot of low moments. But who you are during the best times and the worst times is the true player you are.

You’re only as good as your worst day.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t celebrate the highs. It just means you need to stay consistent through both. I once heard that the player you can’t tell if they went 0 for 5 or 5 for 5 is the one who wins in the long run.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Don’t Ride the Rollercoaster

Staying steady is one of the hardest things to do in baseball.

📋 It looks like this:
✅ Same energy after a hit or a strikeout
✅ No big reactions after mistakes
✅ Staying locked in, not emotional
✅ Keeping confidence even when things aren’t going your way
✅ Competing the same, no matter the score

You don’t have to be perfect. Baseball is full of ups and downs. The difference is how you handle them.

The best players don’t get too high or too low. They stay steady, trust their work, and show up the same way every day.

That’s what leads to consistent performance.

One thing every coach is looking for, no matter the level, is players who are coachable.

You don’t have to be the biggest, fastest, or strongest player to stand out. But if you’re someone who listens, learns, and applies feedback, you’ll separate yourself quickly. And that doesn’t just come from coaches, you can learn a lot from your teammates too, just by watching how they work, compete, and handle different situations.

I’ve seen talented players hold themselves back because they wouldn’t listen. And I’ve seen players take huge jumps just because they were open to learning.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Be Coachable

Being coachable is one of the easiest ways to stand out.

📋 It looks like this:
✅ Asking questions to learn more
✅ Being open to feedback
✅ Trying new things, even if it feels uncomfortable
✅ Learning from mistakes instead of getting frustrated
✅ Showing your coach you want to get better

You don’t have to be perfect. Coaches aren’t expecting that.

They’re looking for players who want to get better.

When a coach gives you feedback, it means they care. It means they believe you can improve.

The players who grow the fastest are the ones who are willing to learn, even when it’s hard to hear.

One of the fastest ways to get overlooked or passed up on a team is how you carry yourself.

I’ve seen really talented players hurt themselves because of poor body language. And I’ve seen average players earn respect quickly because of how they showed up every pitch.

On and off the field, how you treat your coaches, your teammates, and even your parents matters more than people think.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Carry Yourself Like a Pro

How you carry yourself says everything.

Before a coach sees your stats, they see your body language.
Before a teammate hears your words, they feel your energy.

✅ Head up after mistakes
✅ Hustle on and off the field
✅ Stay engaged every pitch
✅ Show confidence, even when it’s hard
✅ Cheer for your teammates
✅ Pick guys up after errors
✅ Thank your coaches
✅ Respect your parents and the people supporting you
✅ Be coachable and listen the first time
✅ Do the little things without being asked

Great players don’t let one bad play turn into two.
They respond with how they act, not how they react.

Your body language can lift a team… or bring it down.

Choose to be the player who brings it up.

This week I made my way out to California for the NYABC Camp. I had an awesome time meeting some of you and connecting with so many players.

It reminded me of something I’ve learned over the years. I’ve had the opportunity to be on a lot of teams, from little league all the way to pro ball. And now as a coach, I get to meet a ton of players every year.

But the one thing that always sticks with me isn’t how talented someone was.

It’s who they were and how they treated the people around them.

When I was in college, my goal was simple. I wanted to get drafted. That was it.

But when I really thought about it, that goal felt big. Almost overwhelming. So I asked myself, what do players who get drafted actually do every day?

At first, I thought big. Lift a ton. Practice all day. Be perfect. But that’s not what got me there.

What actually helped was going small. I focused on things I could do every single day. Throwing consistently. Going to bed on time. Eating enough. Just stacking small wins.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Win the Small Stuff

Big goals are built on small habits.

If you try to do everything at once, you’ll burn out. But if you focus on simple, daily tasks, you build momentum.

📋 Start here:
What’s your goal? Varsity? College? Drafted?
Now ask yourself—what does a player who achieves that actually do every day?

Pick 3 small, achievable tasks, it might look like:
✅ Get your reps in (even just 50–100 swings)
✅ Go to bed on time
✅ Eat like an athlete

Every time you complete these, you’re casting a vote for the type of player you want to become. Before you try to do something crazy, lock in the basics. Small wins add up faster than you think.

Some of my best baseball memories weren’t on a real field. They were in the backyard playing wiffle ball with my two brothers. No umpires. Just us competing. We definitely wanted to win, but there was still a pure joy in playing.

Those games made me a better player without me even realizing it. They taught me how to compete, adjust, and play loose. Looking back, those games did more for me than I ever realized at the time.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Fun Builds Better Players

Wiffle ball wasn’t just fun. It actually made me better.

It forced creativity.
It made me compete.
It helped me play loose and confident.

When you’re having fun, you stop overthinking. You react. You adjust. You just play.

📋 Don’t forget to:
✅ Mess around and compete
✅ Play without pressure
✅ Try new things
✅ Enjoy the game

Some of the best development doesn’t happen in perfect reps. It happens when you’re just playing the game and loving it.

Yesterday I found myself watching a college baseball game where one team won 29–0. One of the craziest scores I’ve ever seen.

It got me thinking about all the teams I’ve played on throughout my baseball career. From little league to pro ball, I’ve been on a lot of different teams. And honestly, most of the teams I played on didn’t have a winning record.

But I learned a lot from being on both losing teams and winning teams. Different lessons, different experiences.

And there’s one thing that’s always true.

Whether you win by 20 or lose by 10, the only thing that really matters is how you show up and compete.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Effort Over Score

You can’t always control the scoreboard.

But you can control how hard you play, how you treat your teammates, and how you respond when things get tough.

The best players I’ve ever played with didn’t let the score decide their effort.

They showed up ready to compete every inning, every game.

Because at the end of the day, effort and attitude say more about you than the score ever will.

A lot of players think improvement in baseball comes from one big moment. One great game. One coach noticing them. But the truth is, most progress in this game happens slowly.

From when I started playing baseball until about college, I was consistently not the most talented player. Remember, I hit one home run in my entire career. But the reason I was able to get drafted came from showing up and getting a little bit better every day.

One of my favorite quotes from James Clear is: “It doesn’t matter how successful or unsuccessful you are right now. What matters is whether your habits are putting you on the path toward success.”

🔥 Friday Fuel: 1% Better

Success in baseball usually isn’t one huge jump. It’s small improvements stacked over time.

Focus on the little things:
✅ One better swing in the cage
✅ One extra ground ball after practice
✅ Listening and making small adjustments
✅ Giving full effort every rep

Your results today don’t matter as much as your direction.

If your habits are making you even 1% better each day, that adds up fast. The players who stay consistent are the ones who eventually separate themselves.

This time of year your season might be starting, you might be in tryouts, or maybe you’re getting ready for spring ball. Either way, I had a lot of tryouts in my career.

Some I performed really well at.
Some I didn’t.

I didn’t always make the team. But every single time it led to another opportunity.

Here’s what I learned. It’s not just about how you perform. It’s about the player you are.

🔥 Friday Fuel: It’s About Who You Are

Coaches are watching everything.

✅ How you warm up
✅ How you react after a mistake
✅ How you treat your teammates
✅ How you compete when things do not go your way

That stuff matters just as much as a big hit or a strong throw.

Baseball is a game of failure. You will strike out. You will make errors. It happens at every level.

The real question is not if you fail.
It is how you respond.

Do you drop your head?
Blame someone else?
Or shake it off and get ready for the next rep?

Coaches are not looking for perfect players. They are looking for competitors. Players who stay positive. Players who are coachable.

Remember this. It is not win or lose. It is win or learn.

Every rep is either success or feedback.

The player who handles failure with confidence is the player coaches trust. ⚾🔥

First off, sorry for the tech difficulties last week. We’re back up and running and this week’s newsletter is a good one.

I spent the weekend in Arizona at a tournament helping coach one of your favorite YouTube baseball teams, Pottstown Natty. Being around competitive players all weekend reminded me of something important. Comparison is a thief.

It steals confidence. It steals joy. And if you’re not careful, it can steal your love for the game.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Don’t Let Comparison Win

It’s easy to look around and compare.

Someone throws harder.
Someone hits farther.
Someone gets more playing time.

And sometimes the comparison isn’t even with other players. It’s with yourself. You start thinking you should be further along. Better. Bigger. Stronger.

Here’s the problem. If you constantly set expectations that you feel like you’re failing, you slowly take the joy out of baseball.

Goals are good. Dreams are important. But they should motivate you, not make you miserable.

A year ago, you would have loved to be the player you are today. Stronger. Smarter. More experienced. Don’t let comparison blind you from seeing your growth.

Focus on improving. Focus on learning. Focus on enjoying where you are right now.

One of the biggest lessons baseball teaches you is this: the game gets a lot easier and a lot more enjoyable when you stop stressing about things you can’t control. Bad calls happen. Coaches make decisions you won’t always agree with. Plays behind you won’t always go your way. That’s baseball. The sooner you accept that, the more freedom you’ll feel when you play.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Control the Controllables

You can’t control the umps, your coaches, or the plays behind you.
But you can control your attitude, your gratitude, and your effort.

When you focus on what’s in your control, the game slows down. You play looser. You have more fun. And that’s usually when you play your best baseball.

This weekend, let the uncontrollables go. Compete hard, enjoy the game, and be proud of the effort you bring every pitch. Baseball is a lot more fun when you focus on what you can control.

Some of my favorite moments on the mound never came from easy innings. They came when everything felt intense. Runners on. Two outs. Loud crowd. Game hanging in the balance. Those were the moments I wanted most.

While others felt the pressure, I felt locked in. To me, pressure meant trust. It meant the team believed in me enough to hand me the ball when it mattered most. Those moments never scared me. They energized me. I learned pretty quickly that nerves are a signal. Not something to fear, but a reminder that you are exactly where you should be.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Pressure is a Privilege

Every athlete feels something before a big moment. Tight chest. Fast heartbeat. Butterflies that refuse to sit still. That feeling is not a flaw. It is proof that you care.

✅ Nerves mean this matters to you
✅ Pressure moments turn into lifelong memories
✅ The best competitors step toward the spotlight

Pressure is a privilege because it means you earned your spot in the moment. Not everyone gets that opportunity. Some players try to avoid it. The great ones welcome it and rise to it.

Next time you feel nervous before a big pitch or a big at bat, take it in. That feeling means you are exactly where you belong.

Quick heads up, the newsletter is officially moving to Fridays. Same message, same energy, just heading into the weekend focused and ready. Thanks so much for supporting and following along!

Last week was all about joy. This week is about something just as important and something every team needs, no matter the level you play at.

People might forget your stats, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel. That’s why this week I’m sharing the easiest way to make your team better, and it starts with choosing to be a great teammate.

🔥 Friday Fuel: Be a Great Teammate

How you act in the dugout matters more than you think.

Anyone can be positive when things are going their way. Great teammates show up when things get tough for themselves and for others.

✅ Cheer for teammates, even when you’re not in
✅ Pick guys up after mistakes
✅ Stay locked in, not checked out
✅ Bring energy that makes the team better

Coaches notice effort, body language, and how you treat others. Being a great teammate builds trust. Teams with trust always play better together.
