MVP Pitching

💛

It’s September 1st for the Class of 2028 recruits!

Today marks the first day college softball coaches can begin contacting many players in the class of 2028.

For some athletes, today will bring calls and dreams beginning to unfold.

For others, today might feel quiet. If that’s you, don’t let silence make you question your value.

Run your race.
Don’t compare.

It’s okay to step away from social media today, this week, month, or even year- if that’s what your heart needs.

Hebrews 12:1 reminds us, Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, for you!

Keep showing up, keep growing, keep trusting.

The right opportunity in the right time is worth waiting for. You’re not behind. Keep your eyes on Him, trust the process, and know that He is writing a story greater than you can imagine. His ways are highest!

Much love to you all! 🙏🏽💙

🥎🎥 TONIGHT — THE KARLYN PICKENS STORY!

Tennessee Athletics is premiering “For the Joy of the Game: The Karlyn Pickens Story” tonight, and I’m really looking forward to watching.

We’ve seen the velocity, strikeouts, records and competitiveness — but I’m hoping this documentary lets us see more of the person behind the player.

And one thing I especially hope Karlyn shares is her faith. 🙏

A verse she has carried with her says:

“It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.” — Psalm 18:32

What an incredible platform God has given her. My hope is that through this story, young softball players see that there is something far greater than accomplishments on a softball field.

🎥 For the Joy of the Game
🗓️ Tonight — August 30
⏰ 6:00 PM ET

🙏 I hope she shares her faith. I’ll be watching — who else is tuning in?

This Post will be PINNED to the top of my page to live there forever.

Everyone’s obsessed with the radar gun right now. 68…70…72… like that number is the golden ticket. Like if you hit it, everything else just magically falls into place.

It doesn’t.

I just called a game with Duke Blue Devils softball vs Tennessee Volunteers softball and let me tell you something… hitters were sitting on 77 and fouling it off like it was BP. Not guessing. Not late. On it. Because that’s the reality—these hitters see velocity ALL. THE. TIME.

You think your 70 is blowing it by them? It’s not.

Velocity is sexy. I get it. It turns heads. It looks good on social. But if you can’t locate for s**t and you’ve got one speed? You’re getting exposed. Maybe not at 10U… maybe not even at some travel ball tournaments… but step into the college game and it’s a different conversation real quick.

Because the separator isn’t how hard you throw.
It’s how annoying you are to hit.

Can you live on the edges?
Can you make them uncomfortable?
Can you change speeds so well they’re out in front one pitch and late the next?
Can you move the ball instead of just throwing it hard?

That’s the game now. And honestly… it always has been.

I’ve watched elite arms—elite—with ridiculous velo get rocked. Not because they weren’t talented… but because hitters weren’t fooled. Same speed. Same look. Same outcome.

And on the flip side? I’ve seen pitchers who don’t light up a radar gun absolutely carve… because they can spin it, place it, and mess with timing.

Stop chasing a number like it’s the only thing that matters.
It’s not.

Spin.
Location.
Change of speed.
THEN velocity.

If your whole identity is tied to how hard you throw, you’re building on a shaky foundation.

And if someone’s teaching you that velo over everything?
You might wanna rethink who’s guiding you.

Go Katy!!

Barbers Hill (30-3) and Lake Creek (29-1) continue to represent the pinnacle of the sport, both ranked in the Top 5 nationally by MaxPreps—not just in Texas or Class 5A. Still, the Eagles and Lions aren’t concerned with rankings.

Good luck to all my Katy girls!!
