2024 baseball guys: Not gonna lie, this is a weird time for you all. D1s can talk to you now but some of you might not be at that level quite yet. D2/D3/NAIA programs are mostly not ready to hear from you yet. If things aren't popping yet, stay patient and keep working!

Most recruits only hear back from about 25% of schools they reach out to. You won't hear from everyone! If you've reached out to less than 10 schools and don't have responses, stop pouting and expand on your list! There are 1800+ college baseball programs. Gotta have thick skin.

The goal of the recruiting process is not to gather the most offers. The goal is to find the right fit for your college experience! It only takes one offer to have a successful recruiting process. And getting 50 offers doesn't guarantee you'll pick the right place for you.

If you aren't hearing from D1s/D2s and your idea of "opening up" is to reach out to Top 10 ranked D3s/NAIAs/JUCOs, your experience probably won't change. Reach out to the ones in your area! Follow up with the ones who did reach out that you ignored! Be truly open!

If your motivations for playing baseball are accolades, scholarships, recruiting rankings, or offers from the "right" schools, you'll likely be in a constant state of frustration and anxiety! If you don't love playing just to play, you probably won't achieve those things anyway.

If you're reaching out to coaches and not hearing back, ask yourself: Am I the kind of player they're looking for? Do I have the academics, metrics, and background they're looking for? If you aren't sure, do research! Honest self reflection is tough. You have to show, not tell!

I think most people know this, but it needs to be said: Your top fastball is not how hard you throw with a running start, eyes closed, chucking into a net. Your top fastball is how hard you throw from a windup, on the mound, somewhere within the vicinity of the strike zone.

Lots of recruits say, "I'm not hearing from any schools" when what they really mean is "I'm not hearing from the schools I want to hear from". The sooner you figure out that your focus should be on the schools you are hearing from, the closer you will be to finding the best fit!

I don't care how hard you throw, eventually you either get outs or your don't. If you've pitched 30+ innings and your ERA is over 9.00, coaches won't care about your reasons or excuses...87-90 velo only gets you so far. Take accountability and make better pitches!

I once pitched and lost a 1-0 Legion game against a future MLB guy. I also had our only hit against him. That doesn't mean our talent level was the same. If you can play in college, you can compete against anyone. But you are who you are, not who you play with or against!

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." -Rogers Hornsby So long, 2021 baseball season. It was another great run!

Back in September, I realized I need to be healthier. I was at 237, WAY above any weight from my younger years. I cut out pop, bought myself a @SoleTreadmills , and started grinding. I'm already down to 218.1. It's never too late to set goals and get to work! #FridayMotivation

There are only two current MLB players that are older than me, and only by a few months - Albert Pujols and Rich Hill. The 3rd oldest, Nelson Cruz, is only 3 days younger than me. I guess it's time for me to officially announce my retirement 😄 It's been a wild ride!
