"Is it better to wait until you're ready or become ready by playing sooner?" 🤔

@ShooterHunt and @DanCevette break down a tough question players and parents could be tasked with pending a 5-in-5 eligibility ruling from the NCAA 👀

The worst part of being a Minor Leaguer 👇

It wasn’t the bus rides.
It wasn’t the money.
It wasn’t sleeping 4+ guys in a tiny apartment in a strange town chasing the same dream.

Those things were hard.
But you adapt.

The hardest part?

How fast the game can humble you.

I was a small-town kid from Elkland, PA. Graduated with 32 kids.
Got drafted in the 3rd round.
Reached AAA at 20 years old.

I thought I was on the doorstep.

Four weeks later I had labrum surgery.

One minute you feel untouchable.
The next you’re in a training room wondering if everything you’ve worked for since childhood is slipping away.

That’s the part people don’t see.

The loneliness.
The uncertainty.
The identity crisis.

Because when baseball is all you’ve ever known… who are you without it?

People romanticize professional baseball.
But for most Minor Leaguers, it’s survival.

Long bus rides.
Fast food at midnight.
Pitching hurt.
Fighting for another year.
Watching younger prospects replace older dreams.

And the game doesn’t stop for anybody.

But looking back now…

I’m grateful for all of it.

Professional baseball wasn’t glamorous.
It forged you.

The game taught me discipline.
Accountability.
Resilience.
Humility.

Everything I’ve built in life traces back to lessons baseball beat into me long before success ever showed up.

That uniform eventually comes off.

But the toughness and perspective never do.

"So those first two years, I still think could be looked at as developmental years."

Prep Baseball Northeast Director @DanCevette touches on what trends could come with a 5-in-5 eligibility ruling and the benefits it provides from a player development standpoint. 👀

RIP to Bobby Cox.

One of the greatest baseball minds and leaders the game has ever seen.

14 straight division titles.
A World Series champion.
A manager players would run through a wall for.

A true baseball legend. ⚾️🙏

HS Coaches/Players

Ask yourself: 👇

Are you an engine?
Are you a buoy?
Or are you an anchor?

Every team has all 3.

Which one are you?

Respect. The. Game. ⚾️
