Created as a way to honor first responders and other front line heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thank You Classic instantly became a major event in New Jersey high school sports, particularly high school baseball. The brainchild of Gloucester Catholic assistant Bill Gore - himself one of the most selfless people we've ever encountered on the face of the Earth - the baseball weekend will bring together close to 100 HS teams in 2022 with a sense of community that shows the best of what scholastic sports has to offer. Gore joins us on this awesome edition of the Jersey Baseball Show, to share with us what goes into such an incredible event and discuss his hopes for the future - and OF COURSE talk some South Jersey baseball. This is a special episode with a person whose idea deserves our full support moving forward!

This week on the Jersey Baseball Show, we speak with Caldwell University senior catcher Kyle Richards. We got to know Kyle as a rival member of the Jersey Pilots in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League, and also as a friend and roommate of beloved 2019 Gens catcher Jack Zosulis. The Gens and Pilots had a great rivalry in Summer 2021 with the Gens winning the decisive 11th game of a crazy series to advance to the ACBL Championship. Not only is Kyle a great hitter (key triple in the ACBL All-Star game), but we learned very quickly that Kyle is one of those guys who is a non-stop talker behind the plate with a hilarious running dialogue during the game. Enjoyed catching up with Kyle and we hope Caldwell can continue to move forward in the CACC this year.

NJIT's first-team, all-Region closer Jake Rappaport joins us to discuss the incredible 2021 college baseball season and talk about how the Highlanders' group of fifth-year seniors hope to run it back in 2022. Jake set school D1 records for wins (8) and saves (11) and became the first player from a New Jersey school to earn ABCA/Rawlings first-team all-Region honors since 2014! He is part of a six-person core of fifth-year seniors who made the decision to stick together rather than join the transfer portal so they could play together one more season. And why not? They joined a program that was 9-40 their senior year of high school and won the America East title last spring, hitting the national stage for the first time with an amazing NCAA Tournament weekend at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville, Ark. Rappaport earned a save as NJIT picked up the first tourney win for an NJ school in 10 years! He talks about that save here and about helping to build a culture of #GritBall, his love for his teammates, the program, and South Jersey baseball.

Once one of baseball's fastest rising young coaches - Kevin Schneider has left the world of running a college baseball program and is now running a business. He followed his heart and is building his own custom glove company from the ground up. Launched little more than five months ago, Emery Glove Co already has a number of high profile clients and Kevin hit the jackpot when he designed a custom model based off an iconic photo for Vladimir Guerrero Jr at the 2021 MLB All-Star game. As Emery becomes nationally (and internationally) known, Kevin gives us the story on the transition from coach to glove maven and tells us what's next for Emery. ALSO - a preview of what to expect on the CLEAN LEATHER podcast starring the always opinionated Kevin and Mike Olshin starting next Tuesday 9/14 at Noon.

It was the biggest single hit for Rider's baseball team in decades. Broncs IF Johnny Volpe, fighting off an ankle injury, comes off the bench in the winner's bracket final of the 2021 MAAC baseball tournament to deliver a dramatic two-strike, two-run, pinch-hit, ninth-inning single that turned a gut-wrenching 3-2 loss into a 4-3 win for the ages and left Rider in the driver's seat to win the MAAC and advance to the tourney for the first time since 2010. With another great team effort, the Broncs did that the next day.

Volpe, a true #SandlotLegend, goes deep into that run, talks about what he did over the summer, all the excitement surrounding Rider, MAAC, and NJ baseball for 2021, and we even get into cooking - where the rising junior is also a star.

Johnny has always thrived with the heat turned up, as you'll learn on this week's Jersey Baseball Show. SUBSCRIBE at youtube.com/GeneralsBaseballLLC NOW and join NJ College Baseball Nation for the fall. We have so much in store - and get ready for the first episode of the CLEAN LEATHER podcast with Emery Gloves founder Kevin Schneider and Mike Olshin coming September 14!

We are so excited to tell the best New Jersey baseball story of 2021 - Mike Adams - the South Jersey pitcher who accidentally taught himself to throw 100 mph! The great story of Adams is this - retired from Indy baseball in 2016 to pursue the business of helping others on the journey to the majors. Mike and childhood friend Ed Charlton opened BPC in South Jersey out of his father's oil business warehouse and watched it grow to one of the best baseball facilities of its kind in America! Mike helped Chase Petty grow into a first-round draft pick throwing 102 mph IN HIGH SCHOOL. In the meantime, through studying the movements of elite athletes who throw hard - Mike's OWN velocity spiked, he threw 98 mph in an open tryout in January, and was signed by his beloved Phillies THAT NIGHT. Now he stands one step from the majors and is pitching awesome for the AAA Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. He even hit his ultimate goal of 100 mph this year!

Mike's journey is amazing and he was kind enough to share it with us. Even though he STILL doesn't know who should play him in the movie (there HAS to be a movie after all this), this is a fantastic story - half "The Rookie" and half "Rocky" and 100 percent BELIEVE in your dreams and BELIEVE in your journey.
