We get plenty of emails accusing us of having favorites. Yes! We love kids that “jump off the field” at us bc they play hard, they have good body language, they play at a different speed, the ball sounds different off their bat, they compete! We write those guys up every time.

Unfortunately, players often need to choose b/w friends & goals. As your goals increase, and you progress through the different levels of the game, your friends can’t always join you. You have to put a lot of work in. It can be lonely at the top.

The slippery slope argument in any conversation is often refuted as a fallacy. But it plays out time and time again. Let’s take taxes: The American Revolution occurred, in part, due to the concept of having taxation without representation. The actual amount of taxes was not

In 1997, I was a freshman in high school. I tried out for the JV team. Our varsity was loaded with FSU commits like Ryan Bartholemy (who eventually became the all time career Omaha HR leader.) My first outing was vs the freshman team. I remember the nerves and anxiety. 26 years

My brain works a little different. “Felt great today. Threw a 100% pen at 90. Yesterday threw a 91.5% pen at 91. Last week threw a 14% pen at 89. Did run and guns at 70% at 105. Trackman had me 90.7. Stalker 2 pro spin had me 91 rounded up since decimals were turned off. PR’d

We know all of the reasons why you shouldn’t early verbal. They’ve been discussed at length, the horror stories are out there. But an echo chamber is being created. It’s the prevailing opinion of many good baseball ppl. Buyer beware. BUT…Here’s why you *SHOULD*:😯😦😧😮😵

Every player, rightfully so, wants a seat at the Division 1 baseball table. It is as close as many will get to the Big League type experience. It takes a tremendous amount of humbling, advice, maturity and clarity to realize that there are other paths to that experience. When

My favorite phenomenon in baseball: The radar gun or device that recorded your highest velocity is always considered perfectly accurate. That one exceptional outing suddenly becomes your standard, often even rounded up. It goes on your bio. It leads off emails. This leads to

Many times the hardest thing for a kid to understand in high school is if you play to win - within a team and for your teammates - the “showcasing” takes care of itself.

These are the best showcases on the planet in my opinion. Any you can add that I’ve missed ? 1. East Coast Pro - senior year only. Pro scout invite only. East coast heavy. 2. Area Code Games - West coast event / west coast heavy. Started inviting underclassmen. East coast kids

For the crowd that has studied this more than me, please chime in. Year round specialization gets vilified pretty often in the U.S. Explain the Dominican Republic baseball players that play year round, train harder than anyone and are extremely athletic and skilled. Those

Why do we all love baseball so much? It’s obviously a great game. But it’s a game that everyone has a chance at. I have a theory: NFL? 🏈 It is a genetics league. You either have them (+ a desire for high impact collisions) or you don’t. Skill comes later. I love the story of

Whoever came up with the acronym “PO” sucks. Please call the most important player on the field “Pitcher” and if they don’t play another position that’s perfectly fine and nothing else needs to be said. The word “Only” makes us sound inadequate or that we’re missing something 😭

Congrats to Jimmy and @OstingerAcademy on winning Jupiter. Jimmy has always done it the right way: blue collar approach, never fell for the elite, prime, universe, over-hyped scout team stuff. Just hard work. Grinders. Local kids. Practices. Not flying dudes in. Great stuff

I ran tournaments for 15 years and know a ton about hotels, group blocks, travel, group rates…everything. I will drop some nuggets here from time to time. Here’s my first: Under no circumstances, do you ever, ever, ever walk into a hotel front desk, ask if they have any

I don’t have a horse in this race. No travel team. No tourney company. But Im close to 20 years in this thing as an observer wearing different hats. Every player I’ve ever seen try to outsmart the draft, outsmart scouts, outsmart competing, overthink everything - gets under

It’s Jupiter week. For those of us in travel baseball it is the end of the road for seniors. Normally the last travel ball event they play in. What once was an event that the Top 100 players in the country flocked too for various reasons some are being encouraged not to attend.

“Stay away from the dugout.” “Don’t talk to your son.” “Get out from behind home plate when he is pitching.” “Stop yelling at him from the stands.” Happy Father’s Day to all of the baseball dads out there that stay patient and understanding in the face of sports culture.
