Sean Jenkins made life very difficult for opposing hitters in 2026.
The @ECUBaseball righty allowed just two barrels on 95 batted balls, held opponents to an 84.2 mph average exit velocity and generated a 36.2% chase rate.

Watch a kid play in a so called meaningless Intersquad game or consolation game and it will tell you all you need to know.

Interesting observation. The Brewers (almost without exception), seemed to stay within the team colors for all their added gear.
There’s a reason it’s called a UNIFORM. In baseball, your cleats, batting gloves, sliding mitts, elbow guards, and sleeves should reflect your TEAM colors, not draw attention to yourself.
The name on the front matters more than the name on the back.
Look like a team. Play like a team. Win as a team.
WE over ME.

It takes someone with the temperament of Pat Murphy to push back against an analytics trend that has overtaken MLB
That isn’t to say the Brewers don’t use analytics, they obviously do
But just because you have dozens of Ivy Leaguers on staff doesn’t mean they’re in charge
Pat has been divorced 3 times. He’s been described as a bully by former players, and criticized by NCAA investigators for his “cavalier” attitude
Agents of change are often very difficult people. But one part of success is adapting yourself to your circumstances.
The other part is finding circumstances that align with your strengths

If anyone is paying attention East Carolina is developing MLB pitchers as good or better than any program in the country.

They cut Mike Trout, the greatest baseball player of our generation.
A story you probably never heard and the lesson to learn:
Back in 2008, I was a high school junior.
I was an up-and-coming baseball player, and my first big break was an invitation to the USA Baseball team trials.
You see, each year USA Baseball brought in 100+ of the best baseball players in the country to try out for the 18u national team.
That year, USA Baseball had arranged for two players each to stay with a host family.
My roommate was a player named, Mike Trout.
Mike had incredible athleticism but was from the Northeast so he didn't come into the event on the "hype train" like some of the top prospects from California, Texas, and Florida did.
We both performed well at the event and made it to the final stage of the trials.
Here, USA Baseball chose the final 18 players for the national team.
Mike didn't make those final 18 players.
Fast forward all these years, and Mike is the best player of a generation.
A surefire Hall of Famer and arguably one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
Funny, how life works sometimes.
Look...the lesson we can all learn from this ~ life is full of things outside our control.
*You will be told no.
*You will suffer adversity.
*You will face disappointment.
Accept it as part of your journey.
My friends, we focus far too much on the end destination and completely miss the beauty in the journey.
The come up, the adversity, and the struggle are what you will talk about one day.
It makes the destination worth striving for.
So, the next time you face a setback, remember Mike's story.
