Any player who has ever played in a Double Header, from 8U Select tournaments to the MLB, knows how hard it is to compete in Game 2.  It's especially hard in the heat of the summer and it's even harder in a Select tournament when your 2nd game is against a team playing in their first game of the day - it's almost not fair.

Today we bring you a really special episode and what we think will be extremely motivational for everyone.  Meet the "Hardest Working Man in Baseball," Raul Shah.

Raul talks about his work ethic and what has been his training, nutrition and lifting regimen on his journey to make it to the big league. For younger athletes he talks about what he thinks it he "most important thing" to their success.  We all love...

We're excited to share one of our first "Meet the Pros" interviews with Raul Shah, Second Baseman, Shortstop and Rightfielder for Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in the Atlantic League.  So first the basics.... Birthday:    October 15th, 1994 Where did you grow up?      I grew up in Ellicott City, MD. This is where I spent my summers playing travel and high school baseball. Those were some of the best times of my life. I would not trade those memories and happiness for anything. I spent so much time with my teammates, coaches, and parents. It makes me smile just recollecting those...
