Travel baseball has one major issue. We see parents already looking for the perfect “travel program.” Those don’t exist. What you need to be looking for is who has the best coach. The name doesn’t mean anything. The instruction means everything.
What a great time at our @Topgolf Summer Kickoff this past weekend! Thank you for supporting the Prospects! Congratulations to our golf competition winners! A special thank you to our sponsors Carpet Baggers, Carolina Restroom,@ChasRiverDogs@CulpeperWood@mozzodeli@CHStuxs
The Citadel rolled out there a 85 mph low arm slot fastball changeup guy against SEC Oklahoma and it’s a 5-3 game… you don’t have to throw 95 to get outs and compete at the D1 level. This isn’t a message just for players by the way.
WATCH: Trey Pooser is moving on up!
The Hanahan and CofC alum has wrapped up his time with the RiverDogs after getting called up to High-A Bowling Green
Pooser was 5-1 with a 1.97 ERA this season

The tears in the eyes tell you everything you need to know.
Ashley Ridge HS grad James Reeves, one of the best to ever toe the rubber for The Citadel. In HS, the only 2 coaches to recruit him- Russell Triplett and David Beckley. Now, the pitching coach- he stands beside them in the dance.
Compete every pitch.
Not just when the score is close.
Not just when the crowd is loud.
Not just when you’re having your best day.
The Prospect standard is simple: bring your best effort to the next pitch.

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?
If you want to play varsity H.S. baseball as an underclassman, you better be facing real talent in the offseason.
Quality arms. Good teams. Top competition.
If you’re not challenging yourself against high-level baseball, you won’t be ready for most top varsity programs. Period…
The problem with youth sports is winning is at the cost of development.
Development needs to be driving the winning.
What are you trying to win? The short term or the long term?
No one cares about the tournament you won at 10u when you didn't learn the game the right way in order to win at 16u.
Development should be driving everything. It's not attractive because it's the long game. It won't happen immediately and that turns people away.
