Philosophies

Practice Philosophy

Do thing right every single time, no matter what it is. We win or lose during practice. When our players show up and step through the gates, they are expected to get after it. Game like tempo and focus are stressed in every drill, situation or scrimmage. We routinely break down practices into three manageable parts: individual work, group work and finish with scrimmages or situations. We will put our players into countless baseball situations at practice so when it happens in a game they can feel comfortable and be successful. Our coaching staff will also track many stats during practice. Tracking stats in practice will hold players accountable and also help the coaches make tough decisions.

Team Philosophy

We must play team baseball; we will win and lose as a team. Players must be willing to work together and play together to be successful. A confident, skilled team working together is our goal.

Mental Philosophy

Mentally tough people will be successful. We are making this a focus every day for our players. Baseball is a game of failure and can be very frustrating if we cannot deal with it. The teams and players that can deal with failure and learn from it will be the toughest and most successful. We will do daily mental training sessions before practice to help our players not only develop routines for when they fail but also during big moments to help them refocus and give them the best chance to be successful.

Defensive Philosophy

We work hard and take great pride in our defense and our players must be able to play sound defense in order to be in our starting line-up. Our focus – MAKE THE ROUTINE PLAYS, anticipate before a play happens and get outs. To be great on defense, you must focus and work hard in practice because championships are won with great team defense.

Pitching Philosophy

Pitchers and catchers control the game. Our pitchers are aggressive, throw strikes and work fast. Get ahead early (first pitch strikes), change speeds/locations, and hit their spots. Our goal is to locate pitches, change speeds and force contact in 3 pitches or less.

Offensive Philosophy

Our Hitters will be aggressive and productive. Our focus will be to have quality at-bats by staying inside the baseball and putting a good swing on every pitch. We will put the ball in play and make our opponents make the plays. We are aggressive on the base paths and will take advantage of other teams lack of discipline. Baseball is a game of adjustments. We will make the necessary adjustments and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
