general s and c block 2 intro week day 3
did a bunch of baseball skill work throwing working on sliders/curves/sweepers tried to get a feel for a sinker and hitting off the tee....pitching and hitting is so much harder than lifting to be honest....people say that hitting the baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports and I agree but I would have to say that pitching is right up there with it.

Talked with two teams one from Houston that wants me to be a tournament player and I actually signed up to compete in Arizona with a team from Arizona in October. Should be very fun as it always is over there. The Arizona team wants me to be a pitching specialist for them and I embrace that challenge.
Crossing my fingers that I dont have a severe injury and have to build everything back from square one again. I have broken a pinky and also an ankle sliding into bags. I got a sliding Mitt I use now and just dive headfirst now so far so good.
One thing ive learned over time is that short and near term goals as far as training are pretty much all that matters. You can try to plan out 4 years in advanced and for all but the most elite professionals it never really works that way in my experience.
