They’re young, but not inexperienced. @dmilano224 has been around a winning program and great coaching his whole life, his dad (@LeeMilano1) is one of the most decorated coaches in @IHSBCA1 history, and pitching coach @HankSchau played for Dom’s uncle at Maine South HS, and then Mike Davenport at @mcpackbaseball! He also was an assistant for a great baseball mind in @dom_a_savino prior to joining us at Harper. They also have longtime scout Marty Miller around. Pair the above with scholarship money, and @ncaa D1 new roster limits … recipe for success … and these dudes deserve it! A+ humans.

Tom Cruise's Digger Is One of the Biggest Box Office Flops Ever "Digger had a $160M budget and it ends up doing $8M opening weekend. What's the movie even about, I saw the commercial, it sucked. I couldn't even watch it, it was horrible." "The fact is everybody else did something else this weekend as baseball playoffs started, the NFL hit Week 4, college football was in full swing, and there were other movies out there."

How I’d get good FAST as a baseball player: First get in the gym and commit. 6 days a week: upper / lower / arms, repeat. 1 full rest day. Do this for 6 straight months minimum. Build strength, durability, and discipline. Second the baseball work has to be intentional. Hit 5–6x/week with a plan. Not just swinging… purposeful reps. Work with a coach who gives you structure, routine, and adjustments. Then put in the REAL work on your own. Extra swings. Extra reps. Extra time. This part matters: You are NOT going to develop at practice alone. High school, travel, even college practice isn’t enough. The jump happens in the hours nobody sees. Third fuel your body like an athlete. Eat enough protein to recover and build strength. Hydrate consistently. Add electrolytes. Recovery = performance. If your body breaks down, so does your progress. Fourth train your mind daily. Read 1 chapter a day: •Heads Up Baseball 2.0 •The Alchemist •The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success •The Four Agreements •It’s All in Your Head You need mental toughness to handle failure, pressure, and long stretches with no visible results. That’s part of it. Now tie it all together: Training + reps + nutrition + mindset. Do ALL of it consistently. Then do it for 3–5 years. No shortcuts. No skipping steps. Keep your head down. Stay obsessed with getting better—not being seen. The results will come if the work is real. If you want a clear plan + mentorship on exactly how to do this, reach out. Hitters University

Message to Matt Quintanar, the player who slid into Aidan Meola & Texas Tech baseball (Texas Tech Baseball) as a program. Let me preface this post with some evidence of the "respect" I have had for the Texas Tech baseball program. That program has always had a "West Texas" wild & craziness/EDGE, that, TBH, I've been jealous of at times. Don't believe those words, see for yourself where at least this 1 person is coming from. I've had the opportunity to interview multiple former Red Raiders who are still playing/pitching professional baseball. Clayton Beeter Ryan Sublette Also, Kyle Robinson is still one of my favorite pitchers I've EVER watched pitch at O'Brate, and I've communicated with him, even since he's been a pro, when he was playing in Tulsa last June with Midland at the AA level. And, Matt Gardner, the former Texas Tech pitching coach, pitched at OSU, and Geoff Haxton, your PxP, grew up in Stillwater, and we are personal friends. So, I respect Tech and enjoy the rivalry. NOW, let's get into the "Nuts & Bolts." There's a difference between playing with an edge and being "dirty". There's a right way to play, and hard slides are a part of it, but that slide was insanely inappropriate, and a VERY bad look all around for an otherwise VERY good player. I honestly didn't have an issue with the chirping, because that, in my view, went two-sided, but the slide was "Busch League". And if you do that in pro ball, completely unprovoked, at least by the player you slid into, you'll only do it once. I'm not telling you anything you don't know because your brother was a pro baseball player, so I'm not reinventing the wheel with that comment. And, YOU played at Blinn, and I KNOW they didn't teach you that, and YOU will, almost assuredly, be a Pro after your time at Tech. I'm about 100% confident in that! That is, unless you don't get THAT act cleaned up. And, maybe the most disappointing part of the whole thing is that the player you slid into is an ELITE human being who has fought through MORE injuries than any College baseball player possibly EVER. And then, you have the piece of it where you actually cost your team, one of the best hitting teams in America, the chance to keep playing and come back to win the game. And, finally, as ANGRY as that play left OSU fans, YOUR OWN teammates, fans & coaches, should have come away from that infinite times more angry than any of us. That's because WE WON THE GAME, and YOU didn't. And, I'll promise you, you WEREN'T going to whip Aidan Meola & Hudson Barrett's ass, hate to break that news to you. And, to read your lips as you walked off the field, yes, that was BS, BS on YOUR part! Hope that sinks in! #gopokes #okstate

Sometimes, a coach loses a game, much less a regional final, and they're ready to hit the showers, hit the road, and not talk much. It was refreshing to see Louisiana's Head Coach Matt Deggs, who'd just lost 19-5 to Mississippi State, after playing in mid 90s temps earlier in the afternoon just to get the opportunity, willing to talk about the game, his team, and even his expectations for next year. If you're fans of Mississippi State and its Head Coach Brian O' Connor, he will remind you of the same candor, plain-spoken-but-well-spoken type of coach who has both affection for his players but expectations of what he asks and demands of them. This is a coach whose team survived multiple elimination games at the Sun Belt tournament, played at all hours and even multiple locations last week, winding up in the championship game. And when offered a chance to deflect the lopsided score with the drain his team might have faced having only a short while after gutting out a win over 2-seed Cincinnati 8-6, he said his team wasn't tired, though. They just ran out of pitching. And, his analogy that "they were going to have to kill us, and they did" was a tip of the cap to his opponent, whom he deemed worthy of a long run in Omaha. Anyway, let's let Coach Deggs say that, and so much more, in his own words. Write it down now, they look like a team to watch in the Sun Belt for 2027. And, since this was the last game of the Starkville Regional, we'll remind you again the video is courtesy of NCAA Baseball and Mississippi State Baseball, with additional editing by College Baseball Central.

LHP Jonathan Santucci (Duke Baseball) could be one of the first college pitchers off the board this July. Although it was cut short, he had a strong Sophomore season with a 4.30 ERA and 50 strikeouts in just 29.1 IP. Was on track to earn a Team USA invitation for the second time in as many years. The 6’2” southpaw attacks from a high-3/4 slot with a clean arm stroke. Easy, repeatable delivery with present arm speed. FB sits in the 92-95 (t96) mph range with tons of carry. At its best, and generates the most swing and miss, when located in the top-half of the zone. Grades out as a 60. Sharp, low-80s SL (51% miss rate in ‘23) is his go-to out pitch with plenty of teeth. Tight, two-plane break. Vertical depth at times against RHH, more sweeping action against LHH. Comfortably a plus pitch. High-80s CH (59% miss rate in ‘23) also profiles as a potential plus offering with late drop and tumbling action. Pitches with a chip on his shoulder and is a big time competitor. Chance to be a first round pick.

RHP Matt Scott (Stanford Baseball) is one of the premier college arms in this year's Draft. After a solid Freshman season that was split between the bullpen and the rotation, Scott this year anchored the Stanford rotation and collected a career-high 103 strikeouts against 36 walks across 80 innings. Earned a Team USA invite for the second straight summer. Scott has an XL, workhorse frame at 6-foot-7 and 247-pounds with plenty of strength and physicality throughout. Quiet, "checkpoint-like" delivery. Small side step towards 1B side, gathers himself and breaks into the rest of his operation. Attacks from a high-three quarter slot. Low effort, does a nice job of staying connected and in-sync for someone of his stature. FB sits in the 93-96 range, but will routinely touch 97/98. Tons of carry through the zone, averaged 22.5" of IVB last year. At its best when located in the top-1/2 of the zone, which is also where it generates most of its whiffs. Just needs to stay out of the middle. Threw it 62% of the time and generated a pretty impressive miss rate of 26%, though I think it can become even more effective if he's able to hone in on his command of it. 55 pitch right now, eventual 60 if some of the low hanging fruit is cleaned up. Supplements his FB with a mid-to-upper-80s gyro SL. I actually think Scott's feel for the SL is on par, if not better, than his feel for the heater. Effective against both right and lefthanded hitters. True, hard gyro look against LHH. Will flash more two-plane tilt against RHH with some sharpness to it. Another 55 pitch that last year had a 40% miss rate. Scott needs to up the usage on his split-change. Threw it just 6% of the time last year and I think it's his best secondary pitch. Legit weapon against LHH. Averaged nearly 12 MPH off his FB and he does an excellent job of killing spin on it; averaged 866 RPMs last season. Essentially falls off a table as it approaches the plate. Serious tumbling life with a bit of arm side fade. 48% miss across a limited sample in '24, I'd give it a 60. Command and control are both average, if not a tick above. Little-to-no reliever risk. Really like the body and stuff. Projects to be one of the first few college arms off the board this July and is a potential first-rounder.

Understandably every year we’re looking for “the next Josh Allen”. But I think there were a really interesting set of good & bad marks that made Allen such a unique evaluation. This year the guy who reminds me of him is QB Chase Mason of SDSU. It’s a bit eerie, tbh. - Josh Allen was a small town boy (Firebaugh, CA) and Chase Mason is from Viborg, SD. - Josh Allen was a multi sport star at Firebaugh. Baseball guy with a 90+ mph fastball, switch hitter, ended up focusing on football. Chase Mason was a top 100 baseball recruit with a 90+ mph fastball and throws righty bats lefty, went to Nebraska for baseball, transferred to SDSU because he missed football. - Obviously there are some gross dimensional similarities. Josh Allen was 6047 & 237 lbs. Chase Mason is 6044 & 240 lbs. But even that aside, they’re built similarly. - Also hard to compare any QB to Josh Allen unless he has fantastic running/scrambling ability and can throw a ball thru half-inch plywood. According to Bruce Feldman, Chase Mason has a 40” vertical, has clocked 22.7 mph on Catapult systems, and can throw it 82 yards. - But we also have to remember the reason almost everyone hated Josh Allen as a prospect was because of his accuracy. Analytics-based evaluation was really starting to catch on and everyone came up with a new analytic to say the same thing, over and over, which is that Josh Allen had a tendency to drop that elbow, get lazy with his feet and follow-thru, and the ball would come out wrong and nowhere near where it should go. This was a consistency issue disguised as an accuracy issue. Funny thing is, I see similar in Chase Mason. Nearly identical college career adjusted accuracy percentages between Allen (67%) and Mason (68%). And the issues are so similar in terms of tendency to drop that elbow. - There are things from IQ, toughness, and comportment standpoints that made Josh Allen special, and these are things I can’t know about a Chase Mason. But, he picked football despite a promising baseball future (which was also true of Mahomes), and he patiently bided his time (even taking snaps as a ball carrier like Cole Payton did at NDSU) sitting the bench behind proven winner Mark Gronowski (now Miami Dolphin), picking loyalty over money instead of transferring, and he’s gone 10-2 since taking over the job once Gronowski transferred to Iowa. Last year he was 8-1 as a starter for the Jacks, who went 1-4 during the 5 games he missed to injury. This guy is 100% on NFL scouts radars after turning heads at SDSU’s pro day last year. Real dark horse for 2027 in a year where many who were expected to top that QB class have stumbled out of the gates a bit.

This college senior has an insane transformation🤯⁠ ⁠ Craig Stem breaks down how he did it ⬇️⁠ ⁠ The mechanical breakdown showed a delivery full of compensations that were killing his velocity. Poor first move out of leg lift with almost no drift. Back knee dumping toward third base. Front leg swinging open way too early. Throwing arm getting stuck behind him in a "power T" position. ⁠Landing with his front foot wide open. Upper half having to overcomperate just to get back on line.⁠ ⁠ The fixes started simple during his spring season. Pendulum drill to relax the arm, getting off his quad, more linear direction to home plate. He topped 91 for a new PR in April.⁠ ⁠ May-June: Introduced elbow-driven arm action. Ethan had a hand-driven philosophy that created a long, inefficient path. Cueing elbow flip kept the arm short and captured momentum better.⁠ ⁠ Craig discovered that Ethan avoided external rotation. He wanted his hand on top of the ball. So he kept him in IR as long as possible, got to ER late. Late layback became his power move.⁠ ⁠ October: The lateral tilt piece changed everything. "Dip into the velo bucket" then explode out of it. Shorter arm action + more efficient lower half + ability to rotate fast and pull that arm through.⁠ ⁠ December: Ethan ran it up to 95 MPH multiple times.⁠ ⁠ January at Tread HQ: He came out sitting 96 and topped 98 indoors.⁠ ⁠ Potentially the coolest part? Ethan Hochendoner made 90% of these gains remotely.

Upper half having to overcomperate just to get back on line.⁠ ⁠ The fixes started simple during his spring season. Pendulum drill to relax the arm, getting off his quad, more linear direction to home plate. He topped 91 for a new PR in April.⁠ ⁠ May-June: Introduced elbow-driven arm action. Ethan had a hand-driven philosophy that created a long, inefficient path. Cueing elbow flip kept the arm short and captured momentum better.⁠ ⁠ Craig discovered that Ethan avoided external rotation. He wanted his hand on top of the ball. So he kept him in IR as long as possible, got to ER late. Late layback became his power move.⁠ ⁠ October: The lateral tilt piece changed everything. "Dip into the velo bucket" then explode out of it. Shorter arm action + more efficient lower half + ability to rotate fast and pull that arm through.⁠ ⁠ December: Ethan ran it up to 95 MPH multiple times.⁠ ⁠ January at Tread HQ: He came out sitting 96 and topped 98 indoors.⁠ ⁠ Potentially the coolest part? Ethan Hochendoner made 90% of these gains remotely.

🚨EPIC: Candace Owens Goes Scorched Earth on Trump’s Truth Social Rant— "STUNNING BREAK REALITY" 🏛️ The gloves aren't just off—they’ve been incinerated. 📉 After President Trump posted a viral tirade calling Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Megyn Kelly "Low IQ" and "third-rate podcasters," Candace just dropped a response that is shaking the MAGA foundation. 🔍 THE CLIFF NOTES: The "Truth" Factor: Candace points out that Trump’s insults worked in 2015 because they were rooted in truth (Hillary, Rosie, etc.). Now? Calling the most influential voices in independent media "unsuccessful" feels like a "stunning break from reality." Cable is Dead: She schools the President on tech—reminding him that Joe Rogan, Tucker, and herself aren't "failing" because they aren't on Fox or CNN... they’re winning because they left the dying medium of TV behind. The "Elitist" Trap: In the most viral moment of the clip, Candace calls out Trump for mocking Tucker for "not finishing college." She reminds him: "Your base is comprised of blue-collar workers... the plumbers, the ranchers, the farmers." 🎙️ THE MIC-DROP MOMENT: "Tucker Carlson is more powerful than you. Deep down, I think you know that... You are sticking your nose up at the people you want to send to their deaths in the Middle East... Every one of them is infinitely more smart and capable than you right now." ⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS: Candace is drawing a line in the sand. She is framing Trump as an out-of-touch "Elite" perched in the White House, mocking the very people (like the late Charlie Kirk) who didn't take the traditional college route but built the movement he's standing on. WHO IS THE REAL VOICE OF MAGA? 🇺🇸 Is Trump losing touch with the "Maestros" who helped him win? Or is he right to distance himself from these independent giants? 👇 VOTE IN THE COMMENTS:1️⃣ TEAM TRUMP - The President is the leader, period. 2️⃣ TEAM INDEPENDENT - Tucker, Candace, and Alex are the real movement. 🚀 5 Viral Titles for the Algorithm: "CABLE IS DYING" — Candace Owens explains why Trump doesn't understand the new world. 📺📉 THE ELITIST TRAP: Did Trump just insult his own blue-collar base?

⬛ Austin Ekeler: From D2 to the League He ran for 5,857 yards at Western Colorado Football. Signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent. Led the NFL in touchdowns twice. Now with the Washington Commanders and still producing strong. He’s one of the best to ever come out of Division II. ⬇️ Western State, now Western Colorado, was the only program that offered him a shot at running back. He stayed four full years and became one of the most productive players the RMAC has ever seen. He averaged 146 rushing yards and 1.6 touchdowns per game over 40 starts. He put together one of the strongest careers in D2 history...and he didn’t have to leave to do it. At Western, Ekeler dominated. He averaged more than 100 rushing yards per game across four seasons, led the country in all-purpose yards in 2015, and earned academic honors alongside his on-field production. By the time he wrapped up his senior year, he was a Harlon Hill finalist with nearly 6,000 rushing yards to his name. His work was undeniable. But he still didn’t get a Combine invite. The draft came and went. No calls. Then the Los Angeles Chargers brought him into camp on a rookie deal and gave him a shot. He took it from there. He made the roster as a rookie and started producing immediately. First as a change-of-pace option. Then as a third-down threat. Then as the guy. In 2021 and 2022, he led the NFL in total touchdowns. He stacked back-to-back seasons with more than 1,500 scrimmage yards and at least 15 total scores. He caught 107 passes in 2022, the most by any running back in Los Angeles Chargers history. The production hasn’t slowed down. In 2024, he signed with the Washington Commanders. He’s still outworking people. Division II didn’t slow him down. It prepared him. The hours. The discipline. The ability to carry the weight of a program while juggling everything else college throws at you. That’s what this level teaches. That’s why it sticks. There are players right now doing the same thing. Grinding through the spring, stacking film, putting together complete seasons. Some will make it. Not because someone finally believed in them, but because they never stopped believing in themselves. That’s what turns a D2 shot into an NFL career. ⬛ College Career 🔹 5,857 rushing yards, 63 total touchdowns 🔹 4× First-Team All-RMAC Sports 🔹 2013 RMAC Offensive Freshman of the Year 🔹 Led D2 in all-purpose yards per game (203.9) in 2015 🔹 2016 Harlon Hill Trophy Finalist 🔹 First-Team Academic All-America (CoSIDA) 🔹 RMAC Academic Player of the Year (2014) 🔹 2018 Western Colorado Alumni Award of Excellence ⬛ NFL Career 🔹 Signed by Los Angeles Chargers in 2017 (UDFA) 🔹 NFL leader in total touchdowns: 20 (2021), 18 (2022) 🔹 Only player with 10+ rush and 5+ receiving TDs in back-to-back seasons since Marshall Faulk 🔹 One of two UDFAs with 1,500+ scrimmage yards and 15+ TDs in two straight years (with Priest Holmes) 🔹 107 catches in 2022, most by a running back in Los Angeles Chargers history 🔹 PFF Second-Team All-Pro (2019) 🔹 NFL Top 100: Ranked #21 in 2023 🔹 AFC Offensive Player of the Week (Week 17, 2022) 🔹 Over 7,000 scrimmage yards and 70+ career touchdowns 🔹 Signed with the Washington Commanders in 2024 ⬛ Off the Field 🔹 Owns more than 115 rental properties in Colorado and Missouri 🔹 Built the Eksperience app to connect athletes and fans 🔹 Co-founded Gridiron Gaming Group 🔹 75+ endorsement deals (Adidas, Chipotle, Frito-Lay, more) 🔹 Founded the Austin Ekeler Foundation in 2021 🔹 Former host of “Ekeler’s Edge” with Yahoo Sports Ekeler’s story isn’t rare because he came from Division II. It stands out because he stayed in it, believed in it, and maxed it out. That’s what this level does when the right player buys in.

D2 College Football Spotlight

5 Years in Crypto & 4 Years in Content Creation, Here’s How I’ve Grown In 2019, I was just a clueless college kid trying to change the AR/VR industry. I skipped college placements and grinded hackathons to find support for my idea. (Clip from those college days below!) Why AR/VR? After joining engineering college, one thing became clear: India is a rat race, best case scenario: life will force you into a stable growth trajectory, if you want asymmetrical growth, think outside the box. Pursue areas where there is no crowd maybe you’ll fail, or maybe you’ll change an industry. In 2020, we hit the jackpot. With Covid there was No more college to waste our time, we grew our startup, built a prototype, and sharpened our skills by freelancing AR/VR projects. By the end of 2020, we were so skilled that companies across India were flying us out to help with their projects. We were earning ₹2L/month each in our final semester of college. Our startup, Hovar, had 8 employees. Every single one went on to land 20+ LPA jobs after college. Most were just in their 2nd year when we hired them. In 2020, we got paid in Crypto for the first time. That’s when my crypto journey began, passive at first, since the startup kept me busy. In 2021, I had to move to Bangalore for a compulsory college internship. Hovar was paying me ₹2L/month for just 3 hours of work daily, but I saw no future in AR/VR. Apple’s headset was delayed, and interest in the industry was dying. It was time to say goodbye to the comfy ₹2L/month and find a new industry. Coincidentally, the crypto bull market had just begun. I searched YouTube and realized there was hardly any reliable, to the point source of up to date crypto education. That was the gap I needed. I started winding down Hovar and focused on content creation, while still working 9–6 at the office and grinding on personal projects till 2 AM every day. In April 2021, the second wave of COVID hit. I got lucky Youtube took off. Crypto was looking like a legit career. Hovar was gone, but now I had a full time job in Bangalore and a growing youtube channel. By October 2021, I took another leap. I quit my job to focus fully on content with daily lives, this was with less than 45K subs. Another BIG RISK! My only backup was 6 months of emergency fund. After November 2021, the crypto markets crashed. Money dried up, trading became impossible, and I had to take big losses just to save my portfolio. That phase taught me a lot about risk management and how it is easy to make profits in crypto but how hard it is to keep those profits. 2022 was a nightmare. Nobody was watching my videos. Crypto markets were a dumpster fire. I decided to double down, went deep into the space, made a plan to rebuild my portfolio, and invested everything I had. In 2023, the markets started to recover. My portfolio turned green. 2022, Bear markets had taught me lessons that many 2024 batch students are only learning now. I was consistently making profits with a locked in trade setup system (still use it today). My channel crossed 100K subs. It was time for the next step. I never got comfortable neither with Hovar, nor with my job, nor as a content creator. Building distribution had one goal: Build your own product. I began searching for what to build. Tried smaller services for crypto investors, but they couldn’t scale. Indians weren’t keen on crypto beyond niche group chats. Indian exchanges sucked. Billion-dollar giants existed, yet the experience was awful. I thought regulations were the reason but no. They had just grown too fast in 2021, and their tech wasn’t built to scale. That’s why Indian exchanges stutter compared to Bybit or Binance. But was this a problem worth solving? Not really, with heavily funded players and a tight knit ecosystem of people. I floated the idea of building my own exchange. Everyone said it was a terrible idea: bad regulations, no banking support, zero chance of funding, and most importantly why would an influencer, who could easily make 50–70% profits from exchange referrals, work this hard to build an exchange? It was indeed a huge risk. I would lose referral income (the main way influencers make money), burn through my savings, and go against giants. I passed. Risk seemed too high. But the audience changed my mind. Hundreds of comments daily complained about Indian exchanges withdrawal issues, trading engines failing during high volume, no real education beyond half-baked YouTube videos, and more. These problems were tough but solvable. Now I just needed the right people to build with people who wouldn’t second-guess the mission. In 2024, WazirX got hacked. Everyone realized Indian exchanges were not safe. The government wouldn’t help. A gap was forming. I had moved to Dubai, to meet passionate builder to help me build an exchange or at least show me a path and finally, after 6 months felt confident enough to start Fedhabit. Moved back to Banglore after 6 months, Announced the exchange to public in Jan 2025, now we’ve come a long way. It took a lot of effort: finding scalable tech, hiring people crazy enough to go against Goliaths with me, securing FIU registration, and finding a bank bold enough to take a chance on us. What a ride. With FedHabit Alpha successfully concluded, just a few steps remain before launch. And I’m told that’s when the real struggle begins. Let’s keep grinding. There is no gain without pain.
