Blessed to announce my commitment to Texas State University to continue my academic and baseball career. Huge thank you to my family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who’s believed in me along the way. I want to thank the coaching staff at McLennan for believing in me and giving me an opportunity. Grateful for the journey and I’m excited for what’s ahead. All glory to God. Let’s get to work!! #EatEmUpCats ⚾️🐾

🚨Playing High School Baseball Isn’t Important Anymore!!!🚨 That’s what a lot of people are saying. The thought is, you go to play summer ball- it’s where the best competition is. You go to college camps- it’s where you will be seen. You go to showcases to document your numbers. So high school baseball isn’t important… That’s what THEY SAY… 🤔🤔What do you say??🤔🤔 I say- I wouldn’t skip it for the world. I’m in my junior year. I have a group of guys that I see every day in school, at practice and outside of baseball that are my brothers. I have coaches who I’ve built a relationship over the past years who care about building better ball players and building better men. So ya…. Wouldn’t miss this part of the journey ever. #thejourney #baseball #beisbol #theprocess #tannercarson #classof2025 #baseballgame #brotherhood #baseballcoach

One of the best things I have heard from a coach is “My job is to find someone better than you. Your job, is to make sure I can’t. “ Might sound harsh but it’s true at most levels and in life.

School ball is coming to a close, and you start to realize that some of these seniors I’ve played baseball with or against since I was 4 years old. Some of these guys I’ve played T ball with. And in just a few weeks…. It will be over. I won’t see them in the hall next year, I won’t see them in class, they won’t be in the clubhouse next year, they won’t be suited up to play in practice or games. They will be gone. Gone on to bigger and better things- off to different colleges around the country. Some will be playing college ball others will just be starting their next chapter somewhere else. In the end…. It’s been a great ride- proud to be your teammate and friend. Don’t take one moment for granted and on to the next chapter. Love this game. God bless y’all. #baseball #baseballseason #highschoolbaseball #memories #friendsforlife

I’m excited to announce that I have committed to continue my baseball career and further my education at McLennan Community College. I want to thank God for His guidance and blessings throughout this process. I’m grateful for the support of my parents, family, coaches, and teammates. Specifically, Garret Hale, Jarrett Phillips from PMT. Chad Allen, Coach Brewster, Coach Deleon, Coach Vucan, Evan Mistich, Mike Brumley, Logan Brumley, Zach Matthews, Lale Esquivel and so many more for believing in me and helping me reach this goal. So many people have poured into me, and I'm very grateful. Thank you to Coach Johnson, Coach Rock, and the entire Mclennan Coaching staff for this opportunity. Let's get to work! #bosqueboys #committed

Can anyone give me a good reason why baseball fields should have a breakaway base? They just seem dangerous with no upside to them!!!

Good drill for me to feel stacked up on my backside. Take a look at the back leg and how the muscle is engaged through the swing. Not only that the balance. I do a lot of split squats- love doing unilateral exercises- one I think it increases the degree of difficulty. It engages more muscle groups to stabilize your movement compared to a bilateral move. Finally I also feel like I can decrease the overall load but get better results. Meaning if I can bilaterally lift say 400lbs, but unilaterally lift 220 that is a heavier lift. How many athletic moves are done with 2 feet on the ground at the SAME time?? Anyway food for thought on what started as a hitting drill post but quickly got into a lifting/training discussion. Would love to hear some opinions on this…🙏🙏 #baseball #tannercarson #classof2025 #baseballdrills #weightlifting @bruceboltus @SRBatsTX @adidasDugout

Want to lead a team but not sure how to start?? First to show - Last to go. Start there.

Anyone have something on this? Was probably the best single out of my high school times in my opinion. Ended up losing this one but energy of the game and chance to get the runner out was a memory that will last forever. How can you not like baseball !!!

Something was said to me last weekend by a coach, and it’s stuck in my head. He said “ your not a third baseman or a short stop- your a baseball player and I love that!” I’ll be honest in my entire time of playing ball I’ve MAYBE played the outfield 10 innings total. But as a player you not only need to know your cuts and what to do, you need to pay attention to where all the moving parts on the field need to go in every situation to help communicate with the players in real time. I’ve always loved the left side of the field. Typically more balls are hot over there and they are coming off the bat hotter. So i’ve always loved the challenge. But having the ability to play other spots is MASSIVE not just for you but for helping the team win. Play different positions- at some point you will settle in to your natural “profile” but pay attention to what the other positions do, how to move, ask questions and be a student of the game. You never know when a spot in center field at a camp will open up and you get an extra inning to be seen!! Cmon now, how can you not love this game. #ChessNotCheckers

1.9 -2.2 Percent of high school players get to play Division 1 Baseball. The transfer portal as it is, will lower that number even more you will see fewer high school commits unless the transfer portal rules change. If you are a high school player, you need to be doing everything you can to compete for a spot as a commit. Once committed understand now you are trying to earn a spot against players who are older than you, have probably seen better pitching, and higher velo than you. Earning a starting spot at a D1 college is very very tough. INCREDIBLY tough. So what can you do to try and compete for a spot on a D1 roster and shoot for a starting spot. Eat right, challenge yourself in the cages and on the field with DIFFICULT WORK, stuff that you aren’t good at or don’t like, embrace the challenge. Lift!! Don’t wait until high school to start lifting. College lifting programs are ridiculously tough. Fielding, work multiple positions, get uncomfortable there, work on the things that you aren’t good at while never neglecting the things that you currently do well. Finally- SLEEP!! Recovery is huge. You need to get enough rest. There is a correlation between not getting enough sleep and injuries. There are so many players who play the game so well, I’m chasing them and will always bust my butt to continue to get better. Making the high school team is hard, but college, they say everyone is as good as you if not better. Leave no stone unturned- get uncomfortable and give yourself your best shot to get an opportunity to continue to play at ANY level.

Got this on August 1st. If you don’t think grades matter, they absolutely do. Don’t let your grades be a reason you don’t get to your school of choice. Put in the work on and off the field- Sacrifice! When others are out goofing off. Stay locked on to what the prize is. Keep your circle tight and your grades high. My parents showed me a chart years ago that showed that even with a 4.0 You can only play baseball at 94% of the schools that have a baseball program. That means even with a 4.0 there are 6% of schools that won’t accept you. #eyeontheprize

Be where your feet are. Be present. Take a deep breath. Lock in. Do a job. I’ve had these types of things happen since I was ten. Not a big deal for me, it’s not personal- it’s people trying to get into your head. My advice for anyone who is hearing the noise is this. Focus on the pitcher and the ball- drown everything else out. The ball is what your going to lock in on. Take that deep breath, do a job on this pitch. The rest falls into place and reset. I think a lot of times people get rattled by the noise. It happens, but it’s a skill I would try and work on sooner than later. Being able to be in the moment is suck a cliché- but…. It IS the difference maker. Hope this helps someone out there who is struggling. #payitforward #baseball #Beisbol #mentalskills #mentaltoughness #tannercarson

College just hits different- See what I did there 😆

Went back and looked at some of the footage for last weekend. We took fielding from every position in the infield. Why do you think that is?? Typically you either take fielding at SS if you are in infielder OR you go to your primary position. I think sometimes we get locked into a mindset of I’m a SS, or I play first or second and you HAVE to realize that maybe when you get to high school there are 6 really good SS or 5 third baseman. If you want to stay in the line up make sure you are not a defensive liability at ANY position. Feel comfortable in all the positions and be available to play. Last year as a sophomore I played 3rd, SS, 2nd, 1st and DH on varsity. Our school was loaded with talented seniors. Be available at any position to keep yourself in the line up. Be a BALL PLAYER, Not a position. You coach who dictates your playing time will help you with that.

The best advice I have received about the recruiting process. Enjoy it. Soak it in, and realize how special it is to receive calls from recruiting coordinators and head coaches. MY advice to you players would be work hard and walk in faith. Faith that He will provide His path for you. In His time according to His plans. Plans not to harm but to prosper. Grateful for all of it. Work hard, and leave nothing on the table. Excited to see where all my 2024 and 2025 friends land this year!

Landed across the street. Having fun this year. Just a good time with good dudes. Enjoying it.

108 exit velo tonight…. And a new PR on the bump!! 96.3MPH. What are we doing!! @mgfmarshalls #baseball #risingstock

Going to be a multi part post. I really hope you take the time to read it. First, thank you to @KazUSAFA for the eye opening and life changing visit. Coach Kaz is an extraordinary man, a great ambassador to the game of baseball, for the US Air Force Academy and a father figure to the men he coaches. If you are blessed enough to receive an opportunity to have an official visit to the USAFA TAKE IT. Even if you think you probably don’t want to go there… JUST GET THERE. It will be a life changing visit. The men and women of the Academy are all just special people, the way the talk, the way they carry themselves is just different.

Haven’t pitched in almost 2 years. But when asked to come in to start against one of the better teams in the nation so we can save pitchers. Give me the rock. Team > Me and compete!! and we competed well!! Dig in and find a way. Temps were 104 that day! 6 1/3 pitched @FlatgroundApp @drewhbishop @PBRGowins @harty02

2027 Grad Players!! What an exciting day! Some of you got calls at 12:01 AM other it will be much later in the year. My advice in finding the right home to play at is this. 1. Find the right FIT- and the right PATH. The right fit means do they have a history of developing players? Is the offer substantial? Or is it more of a we will take you for the fall semester and the make our cuts. Is the culture something you want to be a part of? You’ll find some programs are like a brotherhood- others not so much. Does the hitting / pitching coach align with what you believe in? Does the strength and conditioning coach align with what you believe in?? ASK QUESTIONS! Many S&C coaches don’t have a background with rotational athletes. We shouldn’t be lifting like football players. Their workouts are made to move people linearly. Academic support?? What type of help will the school be able to provide as you will be on the road a ton?? Do they offer tutoring? Will there be a tutor available on the road? How much help will the schools academic advisor be willing to help you? Are there any majors that I will not be allowed to pursue ( engineering, pre law and pre med are the usual suspects here. ) THE RIGHT PATH… How many players HS players did they recruit in 2025 and 2026? If they recruited 20+ HS players for a 34 man roster, you want to understand how did that play out? Do they have a large Senior class that they needed to reload with? Do they have a bunch of guys get drafted? Do they loose a ton of guys to the portal every year and if so WHY do they lose them to the portal? Do they have a history of brining in portal players? Yes coaches will fill holes with D1 transfers, and experienced Juco players but if they are HEAVY buyers in the portal ask why?? Is there a path to play early? NOTHING is given, everything is earned. But if they’re are already 9 infielders and all those sophomores, juniors and seniors can play your positions too and they all have playing time and the stats to go along with it, are you now part of a heavy log jam, or do they have a need for you to make an impact immediately? ******* 2. Call or DM players!!! ASK then, did you like the coaches? How did you like playing for them? What did you think of the culture of the team? How did you enjoy the school?? Call or DM the STARTERS & ROLE players this is where the honest manic happens. If you have a player who PLAYED A TON say I hated XYZ about X School and it’s consistent in the calls and DM- and the role players say the same thing their may be an issue. Listen to what they say. If you have a ROLE player say Inhad limited playing time but I loved Coach XYZ and school X. It was amazing!! THAT SHOULD CARRY A TON OF WEIGHT. I loved hearing from players who had limited opportunity and would say the Coach is amazing. You will have every opportunity to succeed , the culture is the best and you can’t find a better school. If you hear these things you found a special place!! 3. They are doing their research on YOU… YOU should do your research on them! You will be spending the next 3-4 years with these coaches and players. Do your research and don’t be lazy. Everything you do will be looked at, do you hustle on and off the field? Are you dressed out properly? Do you show up players or umpires consistently when things don’t go your way? You want to be a “my kind of guy” or a “glue guy”. Coaches try annd find MKG players. If he’s lucky enough to find a program full of them- the culture will be special. If you get a handful of glue guys, guys who players gravitate to, let em to and respect that’s great!! BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS!! 1/2

Food for thought. Practicing one-hand short bat baseball drills can improve wrist strength, bat control, and hand-eye coordination. It also helps hitters focus on a compact swing, increasing the ability to make quick adjustments and connect with the ball more effectively during games. #baseball #baseballdrills #tannercarson @GradumGswing

Committing to a college doesn’t mean you’ve made it. It means you have committed to starting at the bottom and committed to putting even more work in.

Listen to the full video… Palm up or forearm up??? Great que… Small details matter in a game that is hard enough. Do the small things right and it’ll give you your best shot. #baseball #tannercarson

Biggest thing before you start looking at mechanics or adjustments- ASK yourself, was I on time??? And was that a pitch I can drive?? Read that again… Typically the thought goes to what did I do mechanically, when realistically if you were not on time or you are swinging at pitches that you can’t normally drive well it makes things much harder. Food for thought. Be sure to save or send this post - more good stuff coming.

The pre pitch is something i’ve used for a while. When you have those long games and it’s hard to focus EVERY pitch, try this and see how it can keep you in the fight and locked in. 🔍 The Pre-Pitch Routine, with the hop, helps you establish a strong foundation for fielding. It readies your body for quick movements, putting you in a prime position to react swiftly to any play. 💥 💭 But there's more to it! The mental advantages are equally significant. By incorporating a routine, you cultivate focus and concentration, shutting out distractions during high-pressure moments. 🎯🏆 🧠 Studies reveal that players with consistent Pre-Pitch Routines, including the hop, experience a remarkable increase in confidence and composure. This mental fortitude can be a game-changer during intense innings. 💪 #BaseballTips #PrePitchRoutine #MentalGameMatters

In case you missed some of my games this summer... Here is a taste of what I can do. Been a great time! #Baseball #Beisbol @FlatgroundBats

I Played Short Stop pretty much all my life- But transitioned this year to 3rd. Play SS as long as you can, if you are in the infield- It will teach you angles, you will get more balls hit to you for overall reps and because you need to know what everyone else is doing your baseball IQ will increase. Don’t get me wrong, knowing how to play all the positions is beneficial- But that SS spot is the one you want to fight for. For me personally- I think what kept me in that spot so long was my glove. Coaches knew that if that ball was in my range that it was going to be caught. I still take great pride and time with my glove work and defense. Hitting is what keeps you in the line up, but when everyone can hit on the team, the coach will be looking at your defensive skills specially up the middle. It’s been a great ride and am grateful for the opportunities to continue playing!!!

Hit the gym harder than ever this fall and winter. Not just for strength, but also for rotational speed and power. Appreciate the guys at @TrainPmt they really focus on the needs of the individual player. Finding the lowest hanging fruit and attacking it. Finding a facility that understands rotational sports is huge!! Biggest issues in most high school player is downward chop, grip strength and push pull power. We hit all the average spots to bring the scores up. Combined that with a few tweaks in the swing and good things are happening. For YEARS, you would see knob to ball for me. And what that meant to me was pushing the knob to the ball. Another big “small” tweak… worked on getting rid of that push, and working on cutting down some movement, being in a more ready to attack position at landing. Small changes can make big results. More great things coming. Appreciate the write up @PBR_Texas and @PBRGowins the work never stops!! “Hard work wins!” #baseball #Beisbol #TannerCarson #classof2025

Watch what happens in the end. 🍿🍿🍿 ✅✅How many times have you seen this happen in person❓❓✅✅ Hopefully some of y’all will take the time to say. ⚾️ I believe it happens WAAAAY more often than people think 🤔 Either on purpose or on accident. For this game we had a a two man crew going and they where on it. So when the batter rounds a bag I always try to see if they actually touch the bag. It happens for me about once a year, and it all depends if the ump sees it. If they do, just appeal to them and you’ll get the call. ✅ For whatever reason when I see it…. It happens at 2nd. ✅ Always be watching - It could be the difference between winning a baseball ⚾️ game and losing a baseball game. #baseball #tannercarson #baseballgame #springtraining #beisbol #classof2025

What in the Bad News Bears did I just watch.

Aye!! That’s me!! If you want to know the answers here we go. It’s early season scrimmages. It’s very cold. Can’t feel your hands cold. The hood is the shirt that I had available to me at the time and when off the field I put the hood up and tried to stay as warm as possible. The oven mitt- I’m the next batter up coming off the field and if I’m in that spot I’m surprised I don’t have batting gloves in the back pocket as well. Want to be able to see as many pitches before I get in the box so have all my gear close or on me. The towel- the towel started last summer. Playing on turf you can’t dip your hand in the dirt to pull the moisture off and at the time , my shirt and my pants are soaked from the heat. Sail a few balls because I couldn’t get a proper grip and enters the towel… haven’t really looked back since. It was a life saver. So while it’s cold. My hands always get moisture on them towel stays. The chain stays it has the cross around my neck and won’t go anywhere. The sunglasses - Not sure what the problem is with sunglasses. Specially when they are on my face. The sun on the field is VERY rough at this time of day and there are certain times where if your don’t have them- your hosed. Wrist tape- every game. Love the way it feels on my forearms specific to hitting. Not only that it cuts down on the amount of sweat the rolls down into my glove. Summers are hard enough on gloves so anything you can do to cut down on the salt hitting your glove is huge. Arm sleeve. Specially the Bruce Bolt arms sleeves which are medical grade gradient tapered sleeves I think are huge for arm stamina, recovery and stability. I guess my question to you guys would be, why do you care so much about what a player looks like or wears, or doesn’t wear?? Isn’t the important thing is how good of a player are they, what type of person are they and what type of teammate are they?!? That’s what I care about. But maybe I’m wrong. I see you @ColeLeach03 and @Brewsterc29

Check this drill out if you are drifting a little after landing. Really like how simple it is, and it helped me firm up the front side while also helped me to bring the backside through.

Last year as a sophomore was good. This year as a junior- watch out. #baseball #tannercarson #classof2025 #collegebaseball @FlatgroundBats

All my high school players. Keep grinding. Keep working. Trust in Gods plan and you just do your part. Hearing a lot of stress coming from people in high school. All you can do is put the work in everyday. Cream rises to the top and work wins. I know this. Control the controllables and don’t stress. It sounds simple and I know it can be hard. But sooooo many stories about guys panicking and settling. Find a fit that works for you. Grind, make mistakes, fail, learn, become better, grind and repeat. #baseball #life #beisbol #baseballplayer #TannerCarson #classof2025

One of the 2 triples from yesterdays first game of the season!!! #TannerCarson #Classof2025 #baseball #Beisbol @PBRGowins @drewhbishop @DustinLMcComas Things are coming together for the team!! How about our pitching staff holding the other team to 4 runs over 12 innings.

Feeling good through this off season. Worked on staying more compact, holding my lines a little better and rotating a little better. Exit velocity has gone up as a result. Louder sounds coming off the bat and more consistent barrels. Train with a purpose. #baseball #tannercarson #raisedinbaseball #ABCA @TPABaseballTX great place to get your work in!!

⚾️✅⚾️ So baseball fans what would you do in this situation?? • You going to use the glove to flip like I did❓ • Use the hand to flip? • Overhand throw to 2nd? • Abandon the double play and take the out at 1st ✅⚾️✅ Tell me your thoughts?? #baseball #tannercarson #youmakethecall #beisbol #baseballgame #baseballseason @hayes.melville at 2nd ( UTA ) @jfullerlefty9 the big lefty over at 1st.

Feeling good out here in the Marshalls summer league in Utah. Topping 95.7 averaging 94. Facing great college competition. @mgfmarshalls thank you! #baseball

At the end you will see why high school baseball will be some of the best baseball of your life. 4 years with brothers who go through the ups and downs. Who are there for you. The smiles, the memories, the laughs, the stories, the bus rides. It’s been a great ride!! I came in the last two innings Faced 6 batters 3Ks 0 hits. We love being the underdog this season!!! #baseball #beisbol #tannercarson #nightgame #baseballgame #baseballseason

Does anyone else try and help the ump make the right call??? Am I alone in this???

It’s been great out here. One of the best things I could have done is come out here. Take my lumps by facing older pitching from elite Juco players to awesome D1 players. First week and a half to two weeks were rough. Almost felt lost. Seeing pitching that has very good movement and run, high velo or guys who just have a really good mix of pitches. Make some adjustments, gain some confidence and get after it. Sometimes they get you- sometimes I get them. That’s the beauty of baseball Shout out to Old Hickory for the amazing wood this summer the TC42 bat that I swing will be available in the next few days go check it out!! You know I’ve been using Bruce Bolt batting gloves since the company literally started. Be looking for a complete refresh on the TC42 batting glove. Time to change things up from the black and red and get some serious pop going. You can see the leg guard, elbow guard, sliding mitt and batting gloves are all Bruce Bolt. Awesome protection, style and function. Grateful to the Marshal Gates Foundation that every year brings some of the best players from around the nation to Utah to train and intersquad all summer long. Can’t say enough great things about this foundation and the amazing things they do. And how can you not just love the play by play announcer Michael Goodkind. He crushes every one of the events he covers. What a summer!! ⚾️😎⚾️ #baseball #homerun @OldHickoryBats @brucebolt @TxStateBaseball @trouty16

427 Feet… 102 EV Small things - Ive said it before and I’ll say it again. Do the small things right and they will eventually turn into great things. @drewhbishop @DustinLMcComas @PBRGowins @ShooterHunt @SeanDuncan729 @FlatgroundBats @BUncommitted

Baseball is the game of failure… Embrace it, it’s not a destination it’s just part of the journey that will make you better. So let me share with you what this situation was. We are working velo shots aright at me, with heavy topspin. Why because it’s hard. Listen to what I say in the video. 🧏 First was was: “Bodied, take it!!! W!! Was it great? Nope- but, the win in this situation is I held my ground, I was willing to take it off the body and I didn’t retreat. Ya, you could look at this one and go dang I could have done this or that, I could have done better. You could get frustrated and pissed… Or you can go the task at hand was to catch the ball- did I do that no, but I take the W because it bodied the ball, I was in a pretty good position, I held my ground, I didn’t retreat. And THAT…. Is the W! Next one you hear me say: “Kept it in the infield” Is that going to be an out? Probably not… The win was keeping it the infield. Runners only get to advance one base. If it gets by me completely it could be a double. So stoping is a W… Is it perfect? Nope. But I did make me better today- and TOMORROW I’ll post all the catches from that same session that were perfect…. Learn from those failures, and learn from them- make yourself better today than you were yesterday. ✅Be looking for part 2 from this session tomorrow ✅ #baseball #Beisbol #tannercarson #classof2025 #bettertoday

Coming in hot! Players and Coaches have some good stuff going on down here! #SlamMarcos

Just one of those days where the ball is flying, the body is feeling good, and things are clicking. I had a coach tell me this quote a while ago. I really liked it. He said, “ take the good days and learn to stretch those out as long as you can more and more - and take those bad moments and try make them become shorter and shorter.” #tannercarson #baseball #baseballlessons #lifelessons #beisbol @DustinLMcComas @drewhbishop @PBRGowins @PBR_Texas @BUncommitted @bruceboltus

Highly recommend finding the best competition you can find. It will expose the holes in your game, show you what you need to work on and what needs to be adjusted. It also will test your mental skills. How many times you see pretty swings in the cage when it’s easy- But struggle in games. I hate to lose more than I like to win, but facing great competition will only make you better. #KeepGoing #classof2025

Swing, swing, swing. Good things will happen. I think one of the best things I have locked into this year, is understanding not to press... The last at bat, the last swing, the last game doesn't define your RIGHT NOW... Be where your feet are and take in the moment. Much more quiet at the plate this year. #TannerCarson #BaseBall #SpringTraining #Classof2025 #baseballgame #baseballplayer

Show up early…. Stay late… Do more than asked…. Good things happen. #baseball #classof2025 #tannercarson @DavisPerkins_ @fhsbbcamp @DragonBaseball

You know what feels awesome….. Knowing you have people in your corner, and they really want you to succeed.

Fluid, never rushed. Be balanced, be in control, secure the ball and send it. So many times you go to a showcase or a camp and you see guys rushed through their movement and try to muscle a throw vs being smooth. Be smooth, the results are visible.Not every throw is do or die

Round one of BP at the @PBR_Texas @prepbaseball Futures Games. Put some over the fence. Been a great time. @ShooterHunt @PBRGowins Putting on an awesome event as always!

Varsity baseball as a sophomore at a large baseball high school is not an accident. To anyone who is coming up behind me… put in a lot of work and sacrifice so you can position yourself to be able to make an impact and help your team when your number is called. #gateful #focus

Final out of the last game. About 3 minutes later we jumped in the pool in the upper deck. Felt amazing.

Know your numbers. It helps put things into perspective. Over 15 million people play baseball in the United States. Only 450,000 play high school baseball. Start putting in that skill work EARLY…. Start eating right early, prioritize sleep, rest and recovery early. Understand the majority of the growth hormone created in your body comes in your short wave sleep sessions. AND… If you are one of the 450,000 high school players who want to play baseball in college those numbers get even smaller. 46,000 people have the privilege of player baseball in college. 8,400 players get to play at the NCAA D1 Level. 6,900 players get to play at the NCAA D2 Level. 9,800 players get to play at the NCAA D3 Level. 9,600 players get to play NAIA. 5,500 players get to play JUCO NJCAA D1. 3,400 players get to play JUCO NJCAA D2 2,500 players get to play JUCO NJCAA D3. The point is, the amount of players who started playing the game at a young age don’t get to make it to college and play at any level. The amount of talent across the board that you have in any level of college baseball is amazing. But, only a SMALL fraction get to make it. It is exciting to see so many familiar faces and names being able to continue to play the game we all love. I’m proud of them, because I know the amount of sacrifice they have all put in. I’m proud of the choices they have made to make their goals and dreams come true. #baseball #collegebaseball #tannercarson

Closed out the game last night. Great team win, good run support. Fun year on deck.

What do you think I’m doing here??Less than two seconds to see in this clip…. If you don’t know- read the comment below and i’ll tell you tomorrow.

I’ll be hitting at TPA in southlake tomorrow. 9-10am. 5 minutes from the ABCA. 2870 Market Loop, Southlake, TX 76092 @TPABaseballTX

Sweep of Keller. Faced 1-2-3 in the order 12 pitches 9 strikes Game over. Been on the other side too many times. So big win in the 1709 rivalry to a very good team.

Don’t get caught up in the moment. A lot of times people get caught up in that one play. Don’t forget to hunt the next out. In this video you can see me spot the runners on 1st and 2nd. Sink in- taken for a strike- double steal. Move to the bag - get the out. Move on to the next runner and the next out. #baseball #tannercarson #baseballiq #classof2025 #baseballplayer #baseballgame

The more you play this game. The more you realize the blessings. Heading home grateful for all of it- the ups the downs It’s been amazing.

Had a great day today!! I appreciate the opportunity to get out and show what I can do. As always, thank you @PBR_Texas and @PBRGowins for the great event! Lots of great talent out there today. Excited to go get after it this spring!! @ShooterHunt

I’ve smiled more this season than I have in a long time. I have a talented group of guys who are around me, we cheer for each others success, we build each other up and have a group of coaches that are amazing at keeping things light but having accountability It’s been fun!! Appreciate y’all @AR_Sticks @Brewsterc29 @TRock01 #baseball #squad #squadgoals #dinger #homerun @PBRGowins @drewhbishop

Got some work in the night before I left to check out a college at TPA in southlake. Feeling good!! Why I always swing wood to start with in BP, before changing to a gamer. 1. Instant feedback- you can hear it, see it and feel it 2. Smaller sweet spot- ball won’t jump unless it’s right on it. 3. You get a chance to mess with the MOI. and can got -5 for speed work or +5 for strength and control work.

Play with passion?? Why?? How many times have you seen a team come out flat. Zero energy and maybe that team is a superior team but they looked right passed an opponent. And guess what- they lost!! It happens all the time. Having energy on the field is a real thing. It can help you finish a game strong. It can turn a game around. Mental skills coaches will tell you playing balance is best. Don’t let your highs get too high and don’t let your lows get to low. Try and ride the wave right in the middle. For me, firing up a team mate after throwing a nice K, rallying around a clutch backside hit bring in a run or how about a smooth pick that gets a key out. I say when the energy the comes out in the moment when playing sports. There is nothing better. Real, authentic…🔥🔥🔥 I do believe in trying to be even- I think when something goes wrong on the field, you have to let it go because the next ball is coming and the same thing when you do something spectacular. It was awesome when it happened, but again… The next ball is coming. So what do y’all think, play with passion or just play the game?! Or…. Is it really up to the individual to find that level that works for them?? Stoics Vs Bat Flippers. Where do you stand on this?

Put in the work, trust in Gods plan and His timing. -Amen.

Thoughts on the inside pitch going oppo? This ball hit the right center fence. Keeping the hands inside and accelerating the hand’s forward shows you can still do damage! #tannercarson #classof2025 #baseball #Beisbol

Oppo Taco 🌮 Close game yesterday! Glad we chipped away and got the W

Smiles says it all. #slammarcos

Food for thought… I have a lot of younger followers on all platforms so I try and share some thought process or mindset in my posts….. So here we go. Get a ball hit right at you- Dont forget to keep shuffling your feet and gain ground so you can give your first baseman time to get to the back and set up. Seen it too many times where you rush the throw, and the first baseman still hasn’t had time to get to the bag and bad things happen. 🛑 If you keep your feet moving toward your target, you are not only giving your teammate time- you are cutting down the steps the runner gets AND don’t have as far to throw the ball to get the out. Specially helpful in bunt situations where the first baseman has crashed and tries to get back or the 2nd baseman has to get over or when your first baseman is way off the bag. practice practice practice. #baseball #beisball #classof2025

Heading home to Texas. Was awesome to see a new state that I’ve never been to. Utah, is an awesome place and with great people all around.

Small deposits everyday turn into major results over years. It’s not where you start, it’s the road that you walk along the way to your destination…. Ya I just made that up. But it’s pretty good. Had to share that. Between the ages of 5–10 I was always the worst player on my team, but I love this game and always put in work. Along the way people notice your passion and your work and they help you. You get better. Now when I have the chance to help people I try and pay it forward. Been a great ride!! #baseball #tannercarson #classof2025 #lifelessons #baseballlessons

One of the best things I’ve done was come out here to Utah to train and play with the @mgfmarshalls Every one of the players out here are dudes- ranging from elite Juco players to high level D1 players. The first week out here I looked stupid. When people say you level up from high school to college it’s true. The pitchers show you shapes that you haven’t seen before. The velo is higher the spin rates are higher- and you have to adjust. A rough week- week and a half made me a much better player this summer. Grateful for all of it. The coaches and trainers along with the programing out here is amazing. The fact that ALL the coaches want ALL the players to succeed and help is just an awesome vibe. The opportunity to go play at @TxStateBaseball with @trouty16 is something I’m really looking forward to and I’m ready to get after it when I get back home to Texas!

Along the way…. It’s been fun. #baseball #collegebaseball #tannercarson #classof2025

Having a little fun with the sound, but squad is getting after it. Pushing each other the be better and loving it. Better figure out the dome piece flopping around my head because I’m running the bases like Capt Jack Sparrow! #baseball #squad #TannerCarson #ClassOf2025 #collegebaseball @PBRGowins @drewhbishop

9th, 10th, and 11th Grade and still chasing the top of the door! People grow at different rates, don’t be frustrated- put in the work, keep your skills high and the body will eventually back those skills up!!

Keep swinging. #TannerCarson #baseball #classof2025 #double

What an amazing ballpark to play at!!! Had a great time at BYU with all the guys that came in from around the country. Appreciate the time and opportunity to learn from all the coaches! @tp_pratt @abealvarez17 @Tyler_Coolbaugh @tuckett1414 #classof2025

Oppo double- last game of the summer coming to a close today at 4:15 Good contact point for an away pitch. 96mph off the bat for this one. #oppo #baseball #beisbol @PBR_Texas

Last year we graduated over 20 seniors from our varsity team. This year has a lot of new faces. Same goal- Same Vibe- Let’s get it!! #WorkWins #Baseball

Having some fun- getting a little better every week! And the hitting side is feeling dangerous this off season. Off season goal was to move more efficiently- and the goal is ✅ Post about that later today.

Left center! I’ll take it #baseball #postseason #tannercarson #homerun #dinger @FlatgroundBats @drewhbishop @PBRGowins @PBR_Texas @FiveToolTexas @6ATxHSBaseball

Summer circuit comes to a close. Way to go out!! Spent 9 weeks on the road. This summer I have visited Louisiana, Alabama, Arksansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Mississippi. This game has taken me more places than I ever imagined. I have met and became life long friends with players and families from all over the nation. Played against or with players who have been drafted this year with im sure more to be drafted next year and I am sooooo incredibly proud of them. Blessed to have families around the nation who care about me. Made an awesome network of incredible people who I can call on anytime to ask questions, get advice or bounce ideas off of. What a special game. People would ask me or my family what if baseball doesn’t work out?? It already has. It’s taught me lessons about being humble, but staying confident. It’s taught me a work ethic the is unstoppable. How to mentally lock in to the task at hand right now- with an over all goal that might be years away. It’s taught me to be a leader. How to motivate and how to inspire others as well as myself. To learn to do the hard things you don’t want to do first, before you do the easy stuff that you like. It’s taught me the importance of having a routine. To do the things that might not make you better today, or tomorrow but having the faith that if I make small deposits everyday that you can achieve awesome things over the course of a year and years. Thank you all for coming along on this journey of mine. Y’all have seen me on Instagram since I was a little kid 10 years old to where I am now. Still working hard, still trying to play this game that I love for as long as I can. Still trying to motivate and inspire people along the way along with paying it forward for all those who have helped me along the way. @Brewsterc29 @AR_Sticks

Don’t be a one position player. Having the ability to play as many positions as possible makes you more marketable. Thank about how many times you have been on a team and there is an injury. You have to reshuffle the deck and put players in a spot that can best help the team. I typically play on the left side of the infield but I can tell you this. I pay attention to all the other positions and work on movements so I can get plugged in wherever the team needs me to be. Appreciate the well wishes and i’m feeling way better today!!!

Early this summer, a group of ball players went to a workout for the Mets. So many talented baseball players!! It’s easy to get caught up in the competition of who better or who isn’t . At the end of the day what you can control is YOU… You put the work in, you get better. Be better than you were yesterday. Small steps, small increases that most people won’t even notice. Over time- Big things happen. It’s been an amazing ride so far- can’t wait to see where it takes me next.

Another look at another college!! As always really excited and grateful for these opportunities

Gotta have a good time playing the game! 3b lock in!! But enjoy it!

Been told since I was very young at some point the big separator will be people who sleep right…. And EAT right. So one of my go to quick meals that is delicious is a quick egg scramble. Takes less than 3 minutes start to finish and uses one bowl for quick clean up. Here is the breakdown of what it is. 5 pasture raised eggs. Why pasture free range eggs?? because they have a better nutritional value. The yolks are more orange than they are yellow. 5 Eggs 🥚 = 350 Calories - 30 grams of protein. 0 Carbs 2 Tablespoons of Bacon 🥓 60 calories 4grams of protein. 0 carbs 1 Tablespoon of sour cream. 30 Calories 1 gram of protein. 1 gram of carbs Small 🖐️ handful of cheese. SMALL. 55 Calories 3 Grams of protein. 1 gram of carbs. Salt 🧂. That would be a meal that will tide me over from 445-830 when I get home tonight. When I will eat another small snack. And finish of the night with a cassein protein drink with collagen added to it. So for that egg scramble. You are looking at a total of 5️⃣ WHOLE ingredients. Not like a famous chicken restaurant that has a bun with 51 ingredients and a chicken breast with 41 ingredients. 5️⃣whole ingredients. 4️⃣9️⃣5️⃣ Calories 3️⃣8️⃣ Grams of protein. 2️⃣ Carbs. All made in under 3 minutes. And probably costs less than 3 dollars all in.

Walk offs are fun- That is all. Have a great day

It’s only weird if it doesn’t work.

💣 Number 💣 5 on the summer. Playing in some of the best tournaments in the country. Facing some of the best arms Playing along side some of the best hitters in the nation. With amazing coaches in the dugout next to us all summer. What more could you ask for? #compete @FlatgroundBats @Now_D1 @BUncommitted @BaseballIQ_App @TPABaseballTX

Not going to lie- it’s been a very fun year so far. Lots of things clicking. Doubles are the norm and more triples than singles. Not a bad start!! Heading to Austin/Georgetown on Wednesday the team is really coming together!! Lots of guys consistently getting multiple hits a game and a pitching staff than can hold its own!! #baseball #tannercarson #baseballseason #SpringTraining #classof2025 @PBRGowins @DustinLMcComas @drewhbishop @TPABaseballTX

Summer ball is always a blast. Last ride for HS season about to start.

Thoughts?? Is it ok to pull an outside pitch? I say yes! Do I try and work a outside pitch oppo always… but am I good with getting a little extra side tilt to pull the ball absolutely. #baseball #tannercarson #rolltide

Recap of the 2024 6A Texas School Baseball Season.

Love this hit from the Area Code Try Out. should have been a triple, but slipped rounding 1st. grateful for every opportunity. #baseball #slowmo #beisbol #classof2025

Want to know what a great feeling is. Being labeled as a MKG by coaches you respect. Uncommitted players. Find those coaches!!

Was not scheduled to play today…. Down by one. Last inning. Come in to pinch hit. And 💥 Bam 💥 @mgfmarshalls Blue Crew tied up. @trouty16 @TxStateBaseball

What would you do different?? Playing at 3rd today and here’s what I’m thinking. • Im playing in the cut- thinking bunt situation. • Just before the pitch is thrown you’ll see me take a peak at the runner at first to see what he’s looking for. Im thinking he’s going to run. • Lock back into the pitch to watch what the batter is doing in the box, and his hands • Read the ball off the bat angle at contact • Ball Gets hit to me • Track the ball in AND here is the controversial part. I like to catch the ball outside my body. Unless there is a really good bounce. • This ball was a seed. • Could I maybe have taken a quick drop step to create a little more time and space, and give me a little longer hop ya! Probably the only thing I would have changed on this one • Watch the ball, see the hat?? Watch it track the ball into my glove. Next thing I key on. Working the glove LOW to high. • Catching that ball outside my body allows me to go up, down, left, right, forward and backward without being jammed by my body. You’ll see me give a little with the ball on this catch. • I have a lot of younger followers, the number one rule is stop the ball, but as you get older and more advanced I would really encourage you to work outside your body in practice and get very good at it. • When you make that play you’re the hero, when you ole’ that ball and it goes down the line for a triple, your a zero. GET GOOD at the hard stuff. #TannerCarson #Baseball #Beisbol #Thirdbase #Baseballseason @PBRGowins @DustinLMcComas @drewhbishop

At least the player said heads up!! 😅😅😅 My guy took it like a champ!! Didn’t rub it or even have to walk it off!! #EyesOnASwivel
