The average travel ball family spends $80,000 chasing a dream the math says won’t happen. Here’s where that money should actually go. 👇

First, the odds nobody wants to show you:
🔹 Only about 6.4% of high school players ever reach ANY college roster — roughly 1 in 17.
🔹 Only about 2% make a Division I roster. Odds of 43 to 1. (NCAA)

And in 2025, the rules changed forever. The NCAA scrapped the old scholarship cap — baseball rosters are now capped at 34, and the walk-on path is collapsing. More scholarship money for a few. Fewer roster spots for everyone else.

So here’s the question every baseball parent needs to ask in 2026:

What actually gets a kid recruited now?

College coaches recruit by the NUMBERS: exit velocity, throw velocity, 60-yard dash. D1 wants to see 90+ mph exit velo. And those numbers are built in TRAINING — strength, speed, velocity — not in a 7th weekend tournament game.

Look at the same goal, two budgets:
🔸 ~$3,400/yr → strength, velocity & skill development that builds the metrics coaches want.
🔸 $10,000/yr → tournament fees, hotels, gas, and showcases.

One builds the player. One builds the schedule.

Even an MLB MVP has called it out — that travel ball makes you “pay thousands of dollars for the chance to be noticed.”

So why do smart parents keep paying? Because walking away means admitting the last $40,000 was lost. So they double down. It’s not a development plan — it’s a sunk cost.

Here’s the truth: your son isn’t behind on talent. He’s behind on development. And that’s fixable for a fraction of what you’re spending. 🔥

Is back. (Interesting no debt, no toxic debt, now a new company in the waste grease, fat to Biofuels business.

Only up 523% on one trade. OS / Float is tiny. I think it is going on a buying spree, to corner the market on Bio-diesel. Uplist to Nasdaq soon IMO. Easy $10/share target if they take advantage of the #Iran #Oil crisis now.

As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd.

The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering.

48 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

Here is a cool cut away of a Cadillac Northstar V8 engine. It was an engineering Marvel at the time, but ended up giving Cadillac a big black eye. These engines are powerful, and once touted as one of the smoothest running engines ever made. It featured an aluminum block and cylinder heads with cast-iron cylinder liners and four valves per cylinder. But while its design and performance was very impressive, it became infamous for significant reliability issues most notably head gasket failures. It had head bolts that would stretch and pull out of the aluminum block causing coolant loss and severe overheating. As a technician one of the things I thought odd about this engine was its starter location. The starter was inside the engine under the intake manifold.! The engines can be fixed but it’s a fairly expensive operation. These engines were produced from 1993 to 2011 and was an example although it looked good on paper, in real life It just didn’t work out so good.

I'm extremely skeptical to any presales anymore. Don't be surprised if this account will postpone the launch, or never launch or delete all of the posts by tomorrow. 40 user name changes since January 2025?? I suspect they rinse and repeat creating scam tokens.
