I’ve only watched 2 uploaded games with the Thompson team but the biggest takeaway so far is they love to bitch and not swing the bat. I’m all for automated umps bc i feel like bad umping ruins games but it’s not like that, adjust and adapt, you can’t just look back to argue every controversial call. Learn the umps patterns (which we shouldn’t have to bc the strike zones never changed in baseball) and swing the bat.
Im from brandenton. Few miles from img. Moved south. When we played img. I loved beating a team that legally recruited. They had to look nationwide. And we beat them both times we played. Their campus is sick tho. Definitely prepare top national athletes to adapt to college lifestyle pretty early
My uncle used to live in Bradenton. I remember visiting when I was in high school and it was still the Bollitieri Academy. My uncle lived just down the road. I also remember at that time the average lineman at Manatee High was like 300lbs. Crazy good athletes down that way!
i played at a baseball tournament w my HS team in 2018 at IMG, they put us in their campus housing for a few days. that was a real "how the other half lives" experience lol. i went to a good college too and still never got treated that good 🤣
The happy and efficient people in this world are those who accept trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to capitalize it when it comes along.
That closer for thomspon sold. Coach should have let the other guy finish, he was pitching great. What was the velocity on IMG starter? his fastball had some heat to it.
Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.
So a FLA HS team has two local players on the team facing a team of Alabama players? Sounds legit. And that Thompson starter was hella wild. With that ump's strikezone I am not sure how you walk and hit that many batters.
@@jacobcrawfordmtb There's extensions still for that. But whatever the case, to me it was worth pointing out given how amazing the channel has been doing.
6'1" seems to be a popular height for the players... most of them looked 5'9"-5'10" tops... not sure what lying abt your height in baseball is gonna do
I know Im being nit-picky as hell, but these are back to back posts where Ive noticed piss poor umpiring mechanics. Specifically, when U1 heads down to 3B, U2 is never at home plate, where he belongs when a 2 man crew umpires a game. The prices these parents are paying to send their kids to these sport-based high schools, youd expect to see some umpires who know how to rotate. And that umpire last night truly was terrible. Not bc of his calls, which did suck, but bc of his inability to control the game. He was getting pushed around by the coaches in the vandy looking uniforms
#19 is the most annoying teammate you can have. Dude knows Zero about the rules and he's and Outfielder. If you were on my team and you even tried to get that ball from under the Padding I'd throw the ball at you myself. It's an Automatic Double, we play Wall ball and as soon as that ball gets stuck Hands go up. Then you retrieve the ball and throw it back in.
IGM schools are good because they ONLY accept good athletes. Secondly, they spend half a day on sports when public schools don't get that option. So, when you say they are number 1....so freaking what. They should be every year when you are playing other public schools. It's an unfair advantage if you ask me. They should only be playing other boarding schools and that's it.
I remember when I was a senior in 2007 and we played Thompson in the 1st round of the playoffs they had maybe 1 black kid. That was how it was for all the teams except for the crappy inner school crap holes. Really sad to see what has happened to Thompson. Clay Chalkville use to be a great little school down the road from Hewitt, was always a contender in several sports. Watched school let out the other day and omfg I thought I was in Bessemer or CenterPoint. Looked it up, now over 80% black. You really hate to see the decline of so many good establishments. It is trully like a virus infecting everything
The LHP at the intro; kid will blow out his elbow before 20 years old. I know travel teams want studs to win, but that kids baseball future is going to be over before it started due to poor coaching mechanics. You ever wonder why 1/1000 Majors pitchers don't have a side arm (3 oclock ) release? Shame on the coaches. Wish kid the best, and hope he proves everyone that came before him wrong
Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel.
Best filming of games out there
Thanks for this comment Daniel🐍🐍

they really did just watch the majority of strikes go by. They need a new hitting approach honestly falls on coaching

@beauch1119 yes. The tennis academy. And I was 6'4" 280# and was below average for manatee for a lineman

Every team at IMG is the best team money can buy. They have more money than 90% of colleges.
Lolol
That second baseman from THS was nice with it
SS and CF kinda buns defensively.
2B and SS need to switch positions. @@rjm6183
@@rjm6183switched cfs at the end I noticed
thats hayden craycraft
hes gonna be a senior this year
Absolutely awesome film brother. I wish ALL HS level games were filmed like this.
I find it weird that Sean gamble and Noah Franco are near the bottom of the img order when both of them are some of the top players in their class lol
It all depends on how they’re doing in the lineup, how much they are contributing.
Cause you aren’t the head honcho
offense is important but not everything, plus yes they may be more productive depending on spot in the order
Gamble hit 5th?
they’re in their spot for a reason
i love the "good!" after every pitch lol
Love the videos, need to see that highlands pitcher deal again 💯
Moss kid was stepping out of the box so many times, should be strikes!
That’s literally why I came to look at the comments to see if anyone else noticed it
The happy and efficient people in this world are those who accept trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to capitalize it when it comes along.
One would hope that the parents who drop 90K per year would expect good results.
That closer for thomspon sold. Coach should have let the other guy finish, he was pitching great. What was the velocity on IMG starter? his fastball had some heat to it.
15:43 is the worst slide ive ever seen. Good job on the blue for making the right call.
Gotta assume that kid isnt used to turf? Agree that slide was dookie.
My ten yr old can do better than that!
Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
The amount of lsu commits I have been seeing on my feed the past 3 days is insane.. 😂
NIL money baby.
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
The amount of Wavy Mello references I’ve heard in this is crazy
hit em wit a spinnmovveeee
Side arm pitcher for THS is throwing BP
I don't know why they left him in the game. They were teeing off on him.
@@kentoncarter5613 dude is coach's son. that's the only explanation.
@@ridhoramadhana9984 yea literally throwing floaters lol
They were excited to see their first sloth.
i love the energy!!
If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.
2nd base for Thompson has a helluva glove
So a FLA HS team has two local players on the team facing a team of Alabama players? Sounds legit. And that Thompson starter was hella wild. With that ump's strikezone I am not sure how you walk and hit that many batters.
I find it funny to watch these top guys committed to big time D1 schools and can’t even hit a cut off man
Definitely not the "Ideal" closer to throw in the 6th, What did they do run out of arms? Mans was out here throwing 70's leaving shit hanging.
Yeah this was their third game in 2 days.
Great second baseman from THS. First pitcher from IMG has alot of potential but he'll need to mature - fastball a bit flat.
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
IMG is just rich kids
Finally people are playing in Hoover
#19 on img should be getting a strike every pitch lol, dudes toe tapping out of the box on every pitch
These umps are simplie minded and just look at the ball
That second baseman from THS has a nice glove!
first pitcher for img nasty asf 💯
Coming to any more Lowndes games ? We have Trinity Christian out of Jacksonville this Thursday at 5.30.
Nah
Need to see some Konnor Griffin big dog
Great game
The umps are amazing in this game 9.8/10 rating for the umps
I would have to disagree my man behind the plate could’ve been better
Is #19 not technically out if he ever hits the ball as he steps completely out of the box on his load; during his swing
Should be addressed, blatantly breaking the rule!
Great video
Thanks for watching David🐍🐍
You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.
Coach JFG. miss that guy
2nd base ump was really just giving IMG Calls
How fast are these guys throwing? Low to mid 90's?
110's
Helluva game
ive ran cross country against this school, they're just crazy at every sport
Awesome video
Thanks Jackson🐍🐍

Will u happen to get a chance to post the Parkview/Hoover game?
how are multiple 2024 players ranked 500th??
It just means top 500.
He didn't heed the warning and it had turned out surprisingly well.
Does IMG recruit players? It’s a FL school but I see kids from Ca?
15:07 decapitation status
Find it so crazy how img is basically as expensive as college
All red uniform go hard
Last pitch right down the zone
Pitching coach sold for Thompson! You pitch that kid one inning in games like these
6'1" seems to be a popular height for the players... most of them looked 5'9"-5'10" tops... not sure what lying abt your height in baseball is gonna do
Happens all over sports.
Let Thompson cook
GOD BLESS
Thompson HC, terrible pitching change with the sidearm kid! IMG has that bat speed.
Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how ot do it, and Virtue is doing it.
Pitcher-24- has a little bit of a tell. Kicks his leg much more aggressively on fastball. Softer on off speed
bruh i live in florida and i feel like i nedd to get this good
🔥
Seemed to me the IMG catcher was "framing" pitches, and the umpire was buying.
9:50 weight room
that 2nd pitcher for red was terrible lol his balls were floating

He felt that dining on the bridge brought romance to his relationship with his cat.
#10 on red team did not wanna swing the bat🤦🏽♂️
A shame top teams like this have to play on some 1990's carpet turf lol.
It's amazing how many #1 teams in the country there are.......lol
Did you pay for that expensive ass diamond Kast pg subscription for those rankings??
We don’t have to pay. We get access from PG!

LIT!!!!
90% of IMGs roster aint even from the state the school is in😐
Look at how cold these kiddos are! In Alabama what a joke
Bro bought bots to comment
lmfaoo
Isn’t Douglas number one in the nation?
Please please please stop trying to follow the pitch in when a guy is throwing 90+. Im getting motion sick here and I know im not alone lol😊
Baseball players wearing shiestys is crazy work 😭😭💀😭😭
What was the Img starter sitting?
I checked his PG stats, he throws 96
Most of the players on IMG are from Cali 😆

Guess you sat the bench back in 07 also huh
selfish play from the second basemen at 14:35 would've been a way easier play to just toss it
yeah i completely agree
No not at all. Why risk botching the toss if he knew he could beat the runner lmao
many awful calls but 15:45 for sure
Terrible call kid was safe
home plate umpire's mechanics are mid lol
Great job Thompson ty for not being from all over the us...pathetic
Imagine thinking this team had a chance against img lmfao
They did for awhile
They clearly did, it was a great game!
img aint all that especially pitching but thats from what ive seen
9:45 bro smacked his butt, AYOOO
