Professionals that love to coach. Developing youth physically, mentally, emotionally thru Baseball & Softball. Lessons in Sport and in Life | @midwestbruins1
The numbers don’t lie.
Only about 2 out of every 100 high school baseball players will ever play Division I baseball.
And today’s high school seniors aren’t just competing against other high school seniors for roster spots. They’re competing against 20-year-old JUCO sophomores, 21-year-old NAIA transfers, 22-year-old D1 transfers, and players with multiple years of college experience.
D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO baseball are full of outstanding players and outstanding programs.
The goal isn’t to find the highest level.
The goal is to find the right fit and earn your opportunity once you get there.
Excited for our KCCBA College Showcase this Wednesday, May 27th at KCKCC. This is the final schedule. Please review what group you are in and check the bottom to see what time warmup, BP, and defensive work are scheduled for. Bullpens should start around 2 PM.

Love seeing guys get rewarded. Proud of 2026 #uncommitted Brody Thelen. Leadership, toughness, and a team-first kid who just helped punch Jeff West’s ticket to State with a no-doubter 💣. Still looking for the right college opportunity!
Unfortunately,
Many hitting coaches these days are unknowingly teaching the natural adjustability and athleticism out of hitters in an attempt to create the perfect swing. If a hitter’s “swing” can’t adjust naturally and athletically, you’re making the hitter worse… even though they might “look better” off a tee or soft toss.
