It’s about $$$$…not about fundamentals.

[Chris Snusz @under2catching]

With all the money spent on travel ball... why aren't fundamentals taught or stressed?

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

It’s easy when you have 300 teams and start at 6u.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

Just a reminder, the transfer portal for youth travel is open 24/7, 365.

Metro finally figuring out what we’ve know for years - that you can poach 50% of another org’s team & parents will be dumb enough to fall for the sales pitch.

[🅱️ig Dre @DreMcDonald]

All these prep schools and the players are still going to the same level of college that they would’ve ended up going to if they stayed at their local HS

[Richard Douglas @richarddougla5]

Sluts turn into travel ball moms that raise fluffy hair douche bag kids

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

Just a reminder there are lots of businesses out here to help you hold back your son so you can make money.

It’s always fun to watching kids held back a few times dominate younger ones, right?

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

Man does this sounds like a LOT of travel ball businesses in the DMV.

Quantity over quality.

[Brett Graves @BGraves05]

The private baseball industry is booming, but it faces a critical paradox:

business success depends on player volume, but high volume erodes development & competition quality.

[Pudge Gjormand @coachpudge8]

And less than 7% are lucky enough to play at the collegiate level……Lots of misinformed people wasting tons of money following the Herd!! Ask the right questions and hunt the truth; results don’t lie!!

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

Turns out bragging about beating 13u teams at PG doesn’t translate against good 14u DMV competition.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

And yet the reason they do it is because parents are silly enough to believe it.

PG and PBR are battling it out to see who can separate parents from their money fastest.

[Peyton Lewis @plewisbaseball]

This. My son turned 12 a few days ago. There are countless money grabs out there like this. Parents, there is zero reason to spend $400 plus travel expenses for a showcase at age 12. Zero.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

I’d be emotional too if I lit $10k on fire.

But the parents keep paying us, so I’m trading in my 2026 truck for a new 2027.

Thank you!

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Watching opposing parents during summer travel baseball, I’ve always noticed lots of parents are more emotionally invested in the wins and losses than the players themselves.

Let that sink in.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

When people ask what I do, I say I’m in Mergers and Acquisitions.

[Andy Runyan @runyandy]

Ah yes…the annual tradition of multiple 17 year old kids at a single event posting 60 times that align with Olympic sprinting speed and make them the fastest players in MLB, currently

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

And if you’re a good salesman it helps.

Just business, amiright?

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

There are no official rules against coaches contacting travel players about playing for them next season.

Yet so many coaches get upset when another program reaches out.

No program owns a player. If families love what you’re building, they’ll stay.

Thoughts?

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

[Richard Schenck, The Heretic JFD PPP LQC TTE. 🙂 @Teacherman1986]

WOW. Who the hell took this out of him?

Struggled for five years BECAUSE OF WHAT MLB TAUGHT HIM.

Shameful.

MLB is dangerous to your future.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

Sorry Tim. Coach Dad’s have no place in real baseball.

We are the gatekeepers, and the toll is $5k minimum.

We sell a dream. Pay us early and often and your kid can might be a pro or play college ball (see our shiny graphics).

No $$$$, no play.

[Tim Carney @TPCarney]

This is one of the great sins of our age: The professionalization of youth sports. Dads, including the ones who love baseball, are kicked out of the dugout and demoted from partners in this glorious game to mere payers. https://t.co/FpmRMsRqXJ

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

This needs to be understood. If you played 1 year of 11u ball with us and get signed we are taking full credit.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

@MLB @Padres @RedSox @Brewers @shegone03 hates gas and might hate baseball almost much as Manfred.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

$4B private equity-run company better pay well.

Don’t ask for anything less than $300K/year with 401k, medical and dental. @prepbaseball has deep pockets yall, know your worth.

So familiar and so true in NoVA.

Just shoveling money into a black hole of shiny uniforms with little actual development.

[@703Baseball @703baseballva]

Yeah so? We can keep selling the dream to elementary and middle school Dads who never wore a jock strap and they keep buying cause our Canva skills are next level.

[Matt Hamlet @MattyHams]

Ugly scene happening in college baseball right now after the draft.

Players being cut a week before arriving on campus due to expected draft picks not being selected.

Parents and players beware!

Go where you are wanted
