@devenmorgan It is all glitz and glam these days…the substance is overlooked.

The number of kids I see in my area that play “travel” ball, yet are highly under equipped with the output and knowledge to compete at the high school level is astounding! And it’s shit like this that makes it so!

@devenmorgan When you see a kid that “looks different” compared to those around them…it’s usually the Athleticism part that stands out.

See it every year during tryout season…the kid flicking the ball with pop…hitting way harder than all the others…that’s different.

[Baseball Directive @Direct2Baseball]

@devenmorgan Saw 125 pitches and 138 pitches in a 2 day indoor tournament on March 7-8 for 13U

Good start to the madness over here!

"Deeds, not words."⁠

Don't tell me you want to play D1 baseball and then show up 25% of the time.⁠
⁠
The kids who make it? They fall in love with the process of getting there - not the dream.⁠

New podcast episode out now.

[Baseball Directive @Direct2Baseball]

Yes 🙌🏻

Parent asked me about playing multiple sports for their 14 year old son who wants to play baseball in college. Here’s my fairly long answer.

TLDR: Specializing in baseball better include a variety of non-baseball specific athletic problem solving

[Lucas Parker @lucas_parker9]

Few swings from my latest sessions with @Direct2Baseball.

With solid numbers to keep building from.

Big Things Coming From This Kid!!!

[Lucas Parker @lucas_parker9]

First test day of the offseason; solid numbers to grow from for my upcoming Junior seasons. @Direct2Baseball @schmidy_22 @tborg3

[Deven Morgan @devenmorgan]

The biggest lie in youth baseball: the games you win now will mean something later.

They won't.

You can win tons of games on 60' fields while ignoring the skills players need for 90'.

The # of your kids who don't get cut day 1 of HS tryouts is a scoreboard that matters.

[Kyle Harris @hossjob]

There are 5 ways to get out as a batter in baseball/softball. There are 15 ways to have a productive/successful at bat. Stop dwelling on outcomes. Stop dwelling on the negative. You have 3x the chances of having a productive at bat than an unproductive at bat.

[Baseball Directive @Direct2Baseball]

@hossjob Adjustability!!!!

[Baseball Directive @Direct2Baseball]

@devenmorgan Can’t love this more!!!

[Baseball Directive @Direct2Baseball]

@hossjob My son got cut from his team…final got “some reasoning” from his coach 3 weeks later. Was told that he is probably gonna be the kid who plays longest out of the whole team but is getting cut cuz he basically isn’t refined enough right now…going into 13u. SMH

[Baseball Directive @Direct2Baseball]

This kid is just getting started! Has a high ceiling! He is looking to play in college, so if you need numbers and are starting to look for players, let me know or contact him.

@AJDefinedBSBL @devenmorgan Is this a game/tournament setting or training??? Just curious.

[Baseball Directive @Direct2Baseball]

@drivelinekyle @devenmorgan They also make it sound like he is just up there humping middle-middle fastballs all game long…not at all what he is doing. And Franc saying they won’t chase that slider…he made a career chasing that slider off guys that didn’t throw that hard…
