San Diego Deacons Baseball Club

Also a few years old, but, this is pitching perfection! Thomas Eshelman pitched for Cal State Fullerton for 3 seasons. Totaling 28 wins with 12 CGs. Most impressive and noteworthy, he pitched 376.1 innings, striking out 321 batters, and ONLY WALKING 18! That’s 17.83Ks : 1BB. In this video he retires the first 6 batters of the game; throwing 4/6 first pitch strikes; he throws 16 strikes and only 6 balls; no ball leaves the infield (1-3, F2, 6-3. F6, K, 1-3.); and every time he throws a ball, the next pitch is a strike or ball in play. Again, perfection! https://youtu.be/c8XoV-jTPNE

A few years old, but, this University of Arizona offensive execution video is poetry in motion! Hit & Run, Leave Early, Stolen Bases, Gap-to-Gap Hitting...Hit By Pitches even! https://youtu.be/9b02fjH0E3c

Talk about toughness and the will to succeed...Phillies RIGHTY Vince Velasquez was hit by a line drive in his right forearm...but still threw the batter out - LEFT-HANDED! He was place on the DL Post-game. Wow! https://youtu.be/66UM23Z-7Pk

Bottom 4, 0-0 score, 0 outs. Standard fly ball to RF. But, Cardinals OF Harrison Bader gets behind the ball, crow hops, and throw a perfect one-hop throw to 2B. Perfection. Take notes!

Happy Fourth of July!!!
