HS to college baseball isnโt always the best option. Post Grad programs like โฆโฆ@PGS_Baseballโฉ allows players to train in world class facilities and play in a competitive college setting without losing eligibility.

Ten games into my senior year at Mississippi State โ about a month into the season โ and I still hadnโt pitched. The previous year, I logged only 4 innings. I spent the entire fall and most of the spring preseason dealing with an injury, and quiet frankly walking on thin ice on even staying on the team, if youโre not able to be productive in any way youโre gone, thatโs how the SEC works, & I knew everything would have to go perfectly for me to even have a shot.
This is something young players at any level should pay attention to: what to do when youโre not playing much โ and how to handle it.
During that time, I worked relentlessly. Every day, I prepared like my opportunity was coming tomorrow. I knew that when my name was called, I needed to be ready โ not just ready to pitch, but ready to prove I belonged in the SEC.
Then it happened. We were up 19โ2 at Tulane in the 9th inning. They told me to get hot. I treated it like Game 7 of the World Series. I went out there, went 3 up, 3 down, 3 strikeouts. My stuff was sharp.
After the game, Coach made a comment in the team meeting about how locked in I looked. He noticed. And that was all I needed.
Fast forward 24 hours โ weโre in a 4โ4 game in the 7th, bases loaded, two outs. He puts me in. Surprised? Maybe others were. I wasnโt. I had been preparing for this moment for two years.
I got to a 1-2 count and I got a flyout to right. From that point on, I went on to lead the team in ERA and appearances out of the bullpen. It became the best season of my career.
The takeaway: always be ready. You donโt know when your shot will come. But when it does, you canโt afford to be surprised. Youโve got to be prepared โ mentally, physically, emotionally โ like itโs the opportunity youโve been waiting your whole life for.
If I hadnโt been locked in during that 19โ2 game and shown Coach what it meant to me, I may have never gotten another chance.
Make the most of yours. If youโre not there yet, donโt give up. Keep showing up. Stay ready. Your momentโs coming. Iโll attach a few clips of the game that changed my career.
