Jeff FrancourtIn his own words, “I know[s] Baseball is back and forth. ”
On a previous first round pick once called “The Natural,” Francoeur became his former analyst Atlanta Braves While doubling as an athlete and father.
As a game expert, it’s easy for him to take charge of the kids’ ball games. But he wants to have his child become a child.
“Take your parents with you [youth sports] And the kids usually have a great time,” Francourt told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. “I coach a 12U travel softball team for my daughter. If you take all your parents out and ask those girls to order batting, I think they can do a pretty good job of making what the batting order should be.”

Francoeur knows that many parents have chosen to live through their children when it comes to track and field (he even admitted to being “famous”).
“The first question I ask many parents is, ‘What do you want from sports for your child?” My mother and father wanted me to learn to be a great teammate, how [a] Work ethic, overcoming adversity,” he added. [Former Braves pitcher John Smoltz] I said it best on the podcast. He said, “I wish there were more coaches who had balls that were more concerned about development than victory.” It’s lost, man. So many people are interested in revenue and victory. Have you ever thought it was “the perfect one for my child”? ”
In fact, one of Francourt’s children plays lacrosse, saying, “I hate baseball.”
“I know baseball back and forth, but I want my son to play. This is his passion, this is his dream. I’m going to let him sit here? I had to drag him into baseball practice.
Amidst his involvement in youth sports, he began his “pure athlete” podcast. This highlights youth sports, their parents, and how it all becomes pure. His brand recently partnered with D1 Training to help these young athletes join the sport for the right reasons.
“When you’re doing this podcast thing with a young athlete, you’re trying to navigate that journey. Are there so many paths? There are so many places where you can go to workout. [D1 founder] Intention [Bartholomew] But those guys, they do it the right way, and they have got the right people to connect with them,” Francourt said. Everything is inherent to what you’re trying to do.
“If you’re trying to get the next step ahead of time, that’s a big part now. We’re all these athletes, guys, for my career, for my career, if I look back and I could take care of your body, it’s better training, training, agility, nutrition, etc.

“Complete emotions”
Pete Rose He is qualified for the Hall of Fame.
If and perhaps when he will make it, he won’t see it. He passed away last September.
Rose was on the baseball ineligible list in 1989 after it was rumored to have placed a bet on baseball while he was with the Cincinnati Reds. Fifteen years after the ban, he finally admitted to doing so as a manager.
It is reported that he gambled as a player, but he denied it.
It may be difficult to benefit from doubts from “Charlie Hustle,” but Francourt said he’s talking to more Hall of Famers who are trying to get him in rather than not let him in.
“I got so many mixed feelings about it. There’s no correct answer to that. That’s a bit of a guy, really? Are you going to wait until he dies to do it?” Francourt said. “I remember what Pete Rose said, so it’s so funny. Before he died“When I die, they qualify me.” Sure enough, he called it. So they did. ”
Rose’s Cooperstown fate could be decided by a classic baseball era committee in 2027. He must have 12 out of 16 votes.

Dangerous MLB?
The current collective bargaining agreement expired in December 2026, and the threat of lockout is certainly realistic.
The players and owners agreed to the deal after just over three months, from late 2021 to early 2022.
After the lockout, there have come many rules changes that baseball purists might hate, but the numbers don’t lie. There have been an increase in attendance in each of the last two seasons, and the ratings have been adequate.
Francoeur said, “The pitch clock was the biggest [MLB Commissioner Rob] However, he said that the game cannot compete with the momentum it has gained in recent years.
“To be honest, the only thing I think can ruin this is two things: TV deals, we have [to] Make it even better for fans to watch baseball again. There are still 1,000 people in Atlanta [saying]”How can I see the Braves?” said Francis.

However, if you haven’t reached a deal in half next year, it appears that players and owners will be fighting even longer.
“And second, I hope that the unions and owners can understand that, but it doesn’t sound great after 2026. I know that deadlines will drive deals, but I hope there’s more dialogue now. I’ll start talking about this now. Find out what you need to make sure your work doesn’t stop.
