If you can’t lift 5-6x per week AND play 3-4 games per week…
You aren’t ready for college baseball.
This is your reality at that level. If that is too much for you, join a frat.
Had an hour long phone call this past week with a MLB cross checker about one of our alumni who is now in college…in that hour, there may have been about 5 minutes of him asking me about his talent.
The other 55 or so minutes…
1. How does he handle failure?
2. Tell me about his parents?
3. Tell me about his parents personality types?
4. Did his teammates like him or tolerate him?
5. Were his parents overly involved or did they let him deal with tough moments on his own?
6. Does he handle tough coaching well?
7. Were there ever times he made excuses for performance?
8. When he got hurt, did he still show up for games or not?
This is what accountability looks and sounds like.
He wants game hitters and not showcase hitters.
Players that can take productive at bats.
Players that understand that different situations require different approaches and different swings.
On the mound @ElonBaseball commit 2026 1B/RHP Curtis Slayer Jr with a very dominant inning of work striking out 4 of the 5 batters faced while sitting FB 88-91 T92, also spotted his off speed very well and threw them in any count #PowerUp#DiamondCoverage
