  • EP49 – Do We Still Need Third Base Signs in Baseball?
    In this episode I give an update on how my season coaching has gone giving ZERO signs from third base. We don’t use the bunt sign, steal sign, hit-and-run…any of them. How has this worked? I also elaborate on excuses that players make and the standard players are held to in playing or sitting out due to injury or other factors. Lastly, I discuss routines and why they’re so important.

  • EP48 – Is Life Balance Important For Athletes Who Want to Be Great? | Dear Baseball Gods Podcast
    I was recently discussing life balance as a parent asked how much was too much for his son. Life balance is a trendy thing – we try to find it as much as possible, giving time to everything that is important in life. But, can high-achievers truly have a life balance? Realistically, the answer is no. But the good thing is that burnout doesn’t really happen as long as that lack of balance comes from intrinsic motivation and a deep internal drive to be great.

  • EP46 – Pitching Through Fatigue, College Baseball Recruiting
    In this episode I talk about fitting the mold as a player – how players can make themselves marketable (or not) by their body type and skillset. I also discuss how pitchers perform when fatigued, and how fatigue plays a major role in both pitching injuries and getting people out.

  • EP45 – Dealing With Umpires in Baseball & A Shrinking Strike Zone

    In this episode I discuss how to deal with umpires in baseball – should we befriend them? Be constantly on them? Argue like crazy or accept the calls as they are? I also go into the difficulty of pitching at each higher level, and how we eventually reach a level where we just can’t cut it as players.
