Honored to have represented Minor League Baseball players yesterday at the White House @Milb_players @mlbpa
Not too long ago, “minor league players union” felt like an oxymoron. Yesterday, a minor league baseball player visited the White House to talk to POTUS, others about how it became a reality. washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

Rohan Handa is the third Indian baseball player drafted from @YaleBaseball. Manny Patel in the 30th round (1993), me in the 34th round (2019), and now @rohan__handa in the 5th round (2021). All under Coach Stuper, which is pretty cool if you ask me

That’s me right there!
These young labor leaders are moving our nation forward. From baristas to factory workers to baseball players, they are fighting for better pay, fairer wages, and a voice at work.

Proud to represent Indians in baseball📈
A's prospect Kumar Nambiar owes much to his parents, who immigrated from India. His mother had a mound built in the backyard and -- using books and videos from the library -- taught herself, then her sons, how to pitch. More on the @YaleBaseball product: atmlb.com/3L4yv5M

Absolute beast. Extremely well deserved
Congratulations to Simon Whiteman on being drafted by the San Francisco Giants. His 9th round selection is the highest of any Ivy League position player since Yale’s own Ryan Lavarnway was drafted in the 9th round of the 2008 draft by the Boston Red Sox #thisisyale #GoBulldogs

Extremely well deserved. One tweet is not enough to say how much Coach Frawley has done for me, my family, and Yale Baseball. One of the best coaches I’ve ever gotten to learn from. I am so grateful for all of the knowledge you have passed on. Very excited for your next chapter
SOURCES: @YaleBaseball assistant Tucker Frawley, who has spent the last 12 seasons there, is leaving #Yale to become the Assistant Field Coordinator/Coordinator of Skill Development for the @Twins. Frawley was instrumental in building some of Yale's postseason runs. #Twins

Peter Matt has been a staple in our outfield since his freshman season in 2017. Matt was one of our three team captains this season and is a two-time All-Ivy honoree. At the early end of the 2020 season, he led the Ivy League with 16 hits and boasted a .457 batting average.

Seniors led the charge today at Penn as the Bulldogs defeated the Quakers 6-5. Starter Scott Politz worked past a 3-run first inning to earn the complete game victory. Griffin Dey belted a 2-run homer in the 8th & Simon Whiteman singled home the tying and go-ahead runs in the 9th

I know @DukeBASE is excited about Peter Matt, a transfer from Penn who has mashed this fall. Put on an impressive display in BP, then hit an oppo HR on a 94 mph Jack Carey FB in the scrimmage. Will be a big difference maker. Britt Fuller also hit a rocket HR. Very physical club.

Some Cubs news this morning, according to a source, they’re hiring Craig Driver to be first base/catching coach. Was with Phillies last two years. Worked wonders w Realmuto who won a Gold Glove in ‘19. Just two years in pro ball but great rep coaching catchers.

This fires me up
David Ross says cleaning up a thing or two with Willson Contreras (presumably behind the plate, thanks to new addition of Craig Driver) makes him clearly one of the best catchers in baseball, if he's not there already.
