Coach Cut steps out of the outfield and into the dugout, guiding an 18 U roster to a 17-9-1 summer and a championship finish. Hear how targeted offense, sharper defense, and clear game calls turned last year’s 12-13-1 record into a winning season and set the stage for the Stars start of fall.

Key points

• August 2024 pitch to Head Coach Mike Ream
• Five tournaments, one title, 17-9-1 record, .352 team average
• Offense: AVG .314 → .352, runs 5 → 7, XBH 36 → 56, OPS up, QAB rate up
• Training keys: approach meetings, skinny bats, under and overload reps, heavy machine volume, mental work
• Defense: more machine reps, Go Rout for pitch and offensive calls, fielding percentage climbs
• Shift from learning how to win to expecting to win
• Stars Twelve-day sprint: first practice Aug 10, scrimmage Aug 23
