Here’s your 26-man roster for the NLDS.

Thank you Kansas City! Very grateful for the @Royals providing the opportunity to live out a dream. To my teammates, coaches, staff, and the entire community - thank you for the unwavering support through the ups and downs. I will always hold a special place in my heart for KC!

That dude that just stole home! Armani Guzman... That's the same kid who hit .053 his freshman year and was a role player. A Swiss Army knife for his club. He always had the speed tool. Freshman year they used him mainly as a pinch runner. 1 for 19 at the dish. Most guys would have transferred or quit. He went to a summer league, made adjustments, only hit .248, but came back more prepared. 2025, back on the bench again. Hadn't started in 30 days. Coach noticed two pinch-hit singles in a blowout loss and put him back in the lineup. He didn't try to do too much, he just contributed. Trust was being built. About a year ago in the regionals, he hit a walk-off sacrifice fly. Then 4-for-5 with the go-ahead RBI in the 8th. The 2025 Regional MVP batted 9th. His coach said it best. "His mentality has been so spot on. You want to talk about a confident guy that's not arrogant. He is in such a strong place competing right now that he knows he'll have success." Coach Sabins, 2025 He wasn't confident because things were going well. Things were going well because he stayed confident! By 2026 he's breaking the all-time stolen base record at WVU, delivering walk-off hits, and helping send West Virginia to Omaha for the first time in program history. As a former D1 coach and 7th rounder, I love this story because it's real. The work wins. The best players fail the most, they just refuse to let it stop them. In a world that wants everything now, let's play the long game. Belief comes before ability. Always has. Let's let the next wave of athletes embrace this mentality, stay consistent, and stay persistent. I went down a rabbit hole on Guzman because I saw it wasn't always easy and smooth sailing for him, as that's how most athletes on TV appear. Adversity will always show up. It's how we keep that belief and keep improving. Kudos to Guzman and WVU, fun to follow as a baseball fan. I pulled much of this information from WVU sports, domainpost and 247sports. @WVUBaseball @mani_ftn

Hard to find the words, but I tried anyway. A deeply personal tribute to the 2026 UCLA baseball team… 247sports.com/college/ucla/a…

Congratulations to Archbishop Mitty HS for winning the CCS Division II Baseball championship over Palma School by virtue of their 5-2 victory at Excite Park.

Final: Mitty 5, Palma 2 After finishing seventh in the @WCALSports, @AMHSAthletics rolls to the @cifccs Division II title. @felixchang2026 went 3-for-3 with a triple and a homer and dazzled in the field. @AndreLopez2026 closed it out, retiring all three after inheriting a jam.

Crazy what is happening in high school sports now a days. Question, if you’re already committed to LSU, why do you need to go to another showcase??? You’ve already got your offer and shown your value. Draft, go shove in the championship in a game setting. Smells to me like a lot of parents that never played getting led around by people they trust but sucking $$$ out of them.

BREAKING: The Ganesha baseball team is expected to have several players missing for Saturday's game against Loyola for the CIF-SS Division 2 championship at LoanMart Field in Rancho Cucamonga, including star pitcher Logan Schmidt, an LSU commit who is expected to be a MLB first round draft pick, sources are telling me on the condition of anonymity. Nearly the entire starting lineup will be at an out-of-state BPA (Baseball Performance Academy) camp that was previously scheduled, I am told. Nearly all of Ganesha's baseball players are part of Ganesha's online line program, and also part of the BPA Academy. Ganesha athletic director Don Cayer would not comment, other than to say they're scheduled to play on Saturday. Ganesha coach Jared Sadler has not returned calls or text messages .... Ganesha is expected to field a team for Saturday's championship against Loyola, but nearly all of the top players will be missing, I'm told. Ganesha asked the CIF-SS if they could play on Friday, but was denied. This is fluid. More to come.

Congratulations to head coach @Janw38 Today's victory over Illinois State was a big one. #𝙐𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣

I can think of two sports in California high school state-level post-season competition that is guaranteed pure, fair and excellent, without dispute — track and field and wrestling. I suppose I’m missing others. Basketball seeding is a train wreck. Lose vanity and change.
