Gear Grinders

gears Definition of ‘Gear Grinders’ – Certain things, topics, issues that are ‘No-No’s” for baseball players (especially HS players) on, or off the field. Below you will find a list of things that I personally can’t stand to see, hear, witness, or any other sense that the human body possesses. I am sure every coach could add to this list and if you have any, please send via email and I’ll post.

Barry’s Bytes

By: Barry Mabry “Over the past five years I have been trying to figure out a way to see every high school team in my area during the spring season. Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful. Every year I seem to leave out a handful of schools which in essence, I am missing out on a large amount of players. I feel my job is to identify next level talent and relay it over to college/professional scouts so they can do their jobs. A collection of us have brainstormed and have come up with a way for me to try and lay eyes on as many players as possible, hence the introduction of “Barry’s Bytes”. This will be a blog that I will update daily/bi-daily for our subscribers. I will be bouncing around various high schools and instead of covering games; I will be on a talent search. The goal is to hit multiple spots on a given night. In this blog you will find everything from prospect info to my personal thoughts on an array of topics. Have an open mind and hope you guys enjoy.
