What’s up everyone, welcome back to Barrels with Breland, Episode 19. Today we’re talking about something every ballplayer knows — getting ready for a new season.”

It’s not just about throwing bullpens or taking BP. It’s packing the car. Moving to a new state. Meeting new teammates. New locker room. New expectations. New pressures.

Every season is a new assignment. And how you prepare for it matters.

1 Samuel 16:7 “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland. I’m your host, Breland Almadova. Today we’re talking about the different levels of baseball — from Little League all the way to professional ball — and how each level teaches you something different.

It’s all the same game, but the way it’s played, the way you live, and the way you grow changes at every step. And through it all, God is working in the process.

Proverbs 3:5–6 ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.’

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland. I’m your host, Breland Almadova. Today we’re talking about something every athlete deals with now, whether you like it or not — criticism and social media.

If you’re visible, you’ll be critiqued. If you’re silent, people will still talk. The key is learning how to handle it without letting it handle you.

Galatians 1:10

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland. I’m your host, Breland Almadova. Today we’re talking about leadership — not the title, not the loudest voice, but the kind of leadership that shows up every day.

Leadership is influence. And whether you’re in a clubhouse, on a youth field, or at home — someone is always watching.

Mark 10:45 ‘For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.’

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland. I’m your host, Breland Almadova. Today we’re talking about something that gets debated a lot in youth sports and even at higher levels — should athletes play multiple sports or specialize early in just one?

This episode is about how being a multi-sport athlete can actually make you a better baseball player — physically, mentally, and socially.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 ‘There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.’

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, and building something that matters. I’m your host, Breland Almadova.

Today’s episode is about something I’ve learned both on the field and in business: baseball and entrepreneurship are a lot more similar than people think.

Same pressure. Same preparation. Same faith required.

Colossians 3:23 - “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”

A new year means new opportunities, new challenges, and a simple question we all have to answer: Are we going to be people of action… or just people of talk?”

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland — your home for hitting fundamentals, baseball IQ, and faith-driven perspective on the game. I’m your host, Breland Almadova, and today we’re getting into one of the most underrated parts of baseball: base-running. Great hitters get noticed, but great base-runners win games.

Talking points:

• Base-running is not just speed — it’s instincts, angles, explosiveness, and awareness.

• A good base-runner plays fast because they think ahead.

• Your goal: turn singles into doubles, pressure defenses, and create chaos.

Psalm 121:8 “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland where we strip hitting down to what actually works. I’m your host, Breland Almadova, and today we’re talking about a training tool I really like because it does one thing well — it simplifies the swing.

Episode 10 is all about the Line Drive Pro Hitter and how it helps improve bat path and swing mechanics without overcomplicating things.

Luke 2:10–11 “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.”
