TBB Beyond the Ball

🎙️ TBB BEYOND THE BALL PODCAST — EPISODE 003 ⚾️ This week, we're joined by special guest Chad Lee of Central Florida Pride and The Dugout Sanford!

We kick things off with Bryan recapping our annual Trunk or Treat event before diving into Chad's journey of starting The Dugout and building a baseball organization in Central Florida.

Jesse and Chad share their experiences navigating the challenges of owning and operating baseball organizations during COVID and how those difficult times impacted the game.

Chad also shares some incredible stories about notable players who came through The Dugout, including Dylan Crews, Riley Greene, Vaughn Grissom, Zach Veen, and more!

Hear what it was like watching these players develop before making names for themselves at the highest levels of baseball.

We wrap things up with a conversation about a frustrating issue in travel baseball: teams registering for tournaments they never intend to play in. We discuss how this practice creates problems for tournament directors and teams genuinely looking for opportunities to compete.

From building baseball organizations to developing future stars and addressing the challenges facing youth baseball today, this episode covers it all!

⚾️ Real conversations. Real development. Beyond the Ball. 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.

🎙️ TBB BEYOND THE BALL — EPISODE 2 IS HERE! ⚾️🔥

Three home runs. A first-inning grand slam. Rain delays. A championship battle. And a whole lot more!

In Episode 2 of TBB Beyond the Ball, Bryan, Jesse, and Rod recap an unforgettable tournament weekend where the boys battled their way to the championship and came up just short of taking it all!

⚾️ TOURNAMENT RECAP: Three home runs over the weekend, including two player's FIRST career home runs — one of which was a GRAND SLAM in the first inning! We break down the big moments, the performances, and a wild Sunday filled with rain delays that pushed the three-hour championship game past 8 PM.

💪 PITCHING SMARTER, NOT HARDER: We discuss how TBB made it through the entire tournament using just FIVE pitchers, with every pitch count staying well within our team rules. Competing to win while protecting young arms — that's what it's all about.

🎉 HYPE FIRE GIVEAWAY: The wait is over! We officially announce the winner of our Hype Fire bat giveaway!

💡 LIGHTS AT THE BATTER'S BOX: Bryan shares an update on the progress of bringing lights to The Batter's Box Field!

🎃 TRUNK OR TREAT: We're bringing the fun back to the field! For the second time, TBB is hosting our team Trunk or Treat right at The Batter's Box!

❤️ BIGGER THAN BASEBALL: We close with a powerful story from Bryan's 12U game, where an opposing pitcher was struck by a ball and suffered a concussion. Thankfully, his injuries weren't worse. Jesse stopped by to visit him, brought some baseball cards, and shared stories from his Major League days. It's a reminder that there's so much more to this game than wins and losses.

Real conversations. Real experiences. No fluff. No sugarcoating.

In our first episode, we introduce who we are, why we started The Batters Box Podcast, and what we believe healthy youth baseball can look like. We share how TBB grew from a backyard pole barn into a program built around fun, development, and protecting kids, especially pitchers.

• How TBB starts and why the name Batters Box sticks
• Why coaching your own kid gets hard fast and where outside coaching helps
• How team culture forms through accountability, patience, and letting kids be kids
• Why development beats chasing weekend trophies and how failure teaches the game
• Our youth pitch count rules, rest approach, and why we refuse to risk arms
• Why weighted balls and velocity chasing can hurt young players and what to focus on instead

TBB Beyond the Ball Podcast 🎙️⚾️

Youth baseball is about more than what happens between the lines.

Welcome to Beyond the Ball, the official podcast of TBB Florida Baseball (The Batter's Box), where we dive into the conversations that matter most in youth baseball.

From player development and coaching philosophies to arm care, team culture, and the challenges facing young athletes today, we're tackling the topics that coaches, parents, and players need to be talking about.

Expect honest opinions, real experiences, and unfiltered conversations about the game we love. We're not afraid to challenge the way things have always been done.

It's bigger than baseball. It's about developing better players, building stronger teams, and raising great young men.

⚾️ Real conversations. Real development. Beyond the Ball.
