Committed!! I want to thank everyone who’s supported me up to this point, my coaches, teammates, family and friends. Also want to thank Coach Gard and everyone involved with Platteville Basketball for giving me this opportunity. This is just the beginning! Swing the AXE!

A lot of good hitters have good swings. But they're not ALL IN. Their decision making is MAYBE... MAYBE... OH DANG IT. Instead of YES YES ABSOLUTELY. (Or YES YES NO when they take a pitch) Here's something I've told guys when they need it: "Treat every pitch like it's a hit and run. You HAVE to get the barrel on it. (within reason) But don't just hit it, DRIVE it. Hit and run, but make it a DRIVE and run." It's worked great. If you're good in the cage but underwhelming in the game, this is usually why. You're not being aggressive enough. You're not all in when you're between the lines.

1 unselfish AB can win a game 1 high baseball IQ play can win a game 1 hustle play can win a game 1 great base running read can win a game ….And it could be early in the game! If you REALLY want to win, dominating the “minor” details leads to “major” W’s! #BaseballTruth

HS baseball on the PCSN. @BaseballMrhs vs @SHSTigersBall in an important postseason seeding match up. Hear it on the radio at AM 1330/FM 95.7 WRAM, online at 977wmoi.com/listen-live/ or on our 1330 WRAM app for your smartphone. Take a pair of ear buds and listen right from the bleachers!!

HS Baseball Players ⚾️ I’ve been around this game a long time, and something’s changed... We’re losing respect for the game. • Chirping after every pitch. • Celebrating routine plays like it’s Game 7 • Trying to embarrass opponents instead of beating them. That’s not toughness. That’s insecurity. 💯 Somewhere along the way, being loud became more important than being good. And the worst part? It’s being allowed. When I came up… • You showed up early. • You handled your business. • You played hard. • You shut your mouth. • If you had something to say… you said it with performance. • And if lines were ever crossed, the players took care of it. The truth: 👇 • Baseball is hard. • You’re going to fail. • You’re going to struggle. • The game doesn’t need more noise… • It needs more respect. • Nobody remembers who chirped. • They remember who showed up. • Who competed. • Who handled adversity. • Who left the game better than they found it. Want to separate yourself? Stop talking. Start working. Respect the game. 💯⚾️
