In this episode, I sit down with Tyler Rubasky, first-year head coach at Anderson University, a D3 program in Indiana with a rich baseball history, including three D3 World Series appearances. We dig into:

• What it's actually like transitioning from assistant to head coach, and what he misses most
• Why he believes D3 baseball is the purest form of the game right now
• His approach to playing time transparency and keeping an open door
• The mental performance program that's changing how his players handle failure and pressure
• Why Anderson doesn't run a 60-yard dash, and what they measure instead
• Why Anderson baseball is "data supportive, not data driven"
