125. Johnny Hustle v. Peacocking Peet (ft. Rafael Lopez- former MLB player)

History rhymes, and sometimes it completely repeats, but the majority of the time it's a newer version of what was in the past. How has the game evolved to become more about celebrations, and velocity, and less about winning? Is there a place in time we can point to where this happened before? 


Spiker, Dave, And Raffy talk about Aaron Judges' historic season, Manny Machado's lack of hustle in the 2018 playoffs, and Jose Bautista's emphasis bat flip.

120. The 5 Caps To Make an Alpha Decision

120. The 5 Caps To Make an Alpha Decision

This is a more reflective episode. I wanted to share something I learned after listening to an interview during one of my financial classes. I'm not going to talk about finance but the psychology of pursuing a goal, passion, or desire. Mark Ritchie III mentioned a book I listed below about the psychology of trading. In the last chapter, they talk about the five capitals. He went in-depth with each one, and there was a massive correlation between this and a player's career in baseball. Enjoy this episode!

119. Stack 'em High For All To See

Don't be discouraged; you're doing something others are unwilling to do. 

Losing sucks! I hate losing more than I love winning, but that's me. In a most recent post from one of our directors, it was evident that our national team took their lumps this summer. His introspective post was probably one of the best-communicated thoughts I've seen on the experience. 

In this episode, we share our thoughts on the national program, the director's post, and where we go from here.

118. How To Get Off The Island of Me

We recently were at the PBR Nationals at Lake Point in Emerson, Georgia. We saw some unbelievable talent, but one obvious thing was the ballpark's attitudes.   You could easily pick out the players who were unselfish and who were selfish. The unselfish players shined like rockstars. They were talking the game, they had positive body language, and you gravitated towards them as you watched them on the field.   So, if two opposing coaches who don't have a horse in the race notice these positive vibes...how do you think college scouts and fans see you?   Here are two cents on how to master the last week of the season.

117. The Career Curse

117. The Career Curse

The track of a player's career is fascinating. The journey is unique to each player, but there's one pitfall that potentially could derail an upward-trending player. 


In this episode, we talk about the 13U curse, the advantage of being in the bottom third, and how to avoid the pitfall.

112. The Kershaw Exit

Baseball Twitter blew up 🤯


The first start of the season, on the road, and he was cruising! Clayton Kershaw made headlines with his final bow of the game after the third out in the 7th inning of a perfect game. This caused a massive split inside the baseball community, with people calling it "a problem" and others saying it was, "100% the right move, it's a learning lesson for amateur baseball." 

Where do we stand?

108. THE LOST EPISODE! Character Outperforms in the Long Run

DEEP Into the archives, I went to find this episode. 

I was editing last week trying to find a clip from the Closing Pitch and found this piece that read 'December- Recording 03.' After listening to it, I thought this was a great piece to send out for players to watch and listen on setting standards for yourself to live by. We site three situations. I hope you like the episode! 

Also, we mention NFT's (non-fungible tokens). It's not investment advice!!! We're baseball people, we help run a club, we're not financial professionals.

107. Is It a "Do" or a "Don't Want It?"

107. Is It a "Do" or a "Don't Want It?"

One of my lesson clients, who I love coaching, by the way, came in frustrated. He was getting angry at his performance. It was the frustration you get when you're struggling to make an adjustment. 


You're learning from your mistakes, but you're not making the fast adjustment to fix them. 


I stopped the lesson to 'calm him down,' but to also figure out what was happening in his headspace. We found the route of it. 


This podcast is about our conversation.

105. MASSIVE Opportunity for COLLEGE BASEBALL To Win Over Fans (ft. Evan Pratte)

MLB locked out + negotiations are shaky = MASSIVE Opportunity for D1 baseball to build their fan bases. 


College baseball has had a slow growth in fan adoption with the season being played in the colder months, but with spring training on pause and social media platforms, this could be a massive adoption. 


We love this play for the D1 schools. It has talent, personalities, and swagger.

Deion Sanders shocked the world last month by convincing the number 1 football recruit to switch his commitment and sign with Jackson State. 


Who is Jackson State?


A small FCS school in Mississippi with the head coach being HOF Deion Sanders. Welcome to the world of the NIL. The new regulation allows athletes to receive compensation based on their name, image, and likeness. 


How do we feel about it? Well, we spoke about it in a previous episode with one of our friends who was a compliance officer for a division 1 school. We re-open the conversation and discuss how we truly feel about it.

100.📍🗺 The Box Score Is Not a Map For Development (ft. Deven Morgan of Driveline Baseball)

PART 2 of the Deven Morgan interview is here! 


In this episode, we continue the conversation with emotional validation for youth athletes. One of the best topics we reached was the binary outcome of a game. The win and the loss need to be explained to the athlete. Kids are at a biological disadvantage because their brain is not fully formed, so they're not able to evaluate abstract thought. 


When we as coaches give only validation for wins and losses it puts an immediate impression on the player. We need to rethink what really matters. Is box score the ultimate tool for development guidance? 


Deven disagrees, it only gives you a map of the game. It doesn't show the hustle plays, leadership moments, or even scorching line drives that were caught. 


We need to rethink everything. 


00:00-03:13 Introduction and Recap of Part 1 


03:14-11:58 Emotional Intelligence, validation, and the youth athlete 


11:58-20:57 Blending baseball data, skills of scale, progress, gamification, and emotional development
