Great post Rick. This resonates with Carteret CC starting up our program in August.

The experience of starting a new program at @LycomingCollege has completed its first cycle. The 21 seniors who were part of the first cycle for @LycoBaseball graduated this May. I asked them two reflect on two things:

If you could go back in time and tell your younger self one thing before your first day at Lyco, what would it be?

What advice would you give the 21 incoming guys based on your experience?

I thought their responses were worth a share. If you're entering college next month as a ballplayer or athlete in another sport, some of these can help improve your mindset/approach...

If they would leave a 3/8" to 1/2" lip on the front of the rubber for the pitcher, the pitcher doesnt have to dig to use the rubber properly.

Also, holes mainly come from poor moisture content in the clay, which hurts your ability to pack it tight enough to not dig out.

All this work just for the pitcher to dig it out in the first inning 😂
