The high school player that is committed or signed to play in college.
Should have a genuine desire to do more, play more, lift more, hit more, take more ground balls, long toss more, etc.
Sadly, the majority of the time.
The committed kid miraculously turns into the high school big leaguer and does less of everything.
It's a reason, thousands of college freshmen flock to the portal, year after year after year.
Don't let an ounce of success or attention sidetrack your career.

#BlueKnights🔷⚔️
We have traded fundamentals for measurables.
And it shows up in today's version of the game.
Too many players are lacking:
⚾️ Baseball IQ
⚾️ Awareness
⚾️ Ability to play catch
⚾️ Baserunning
⚾️ Ability to throw strikes
⚾️ Bat-to-ball skills
⚾️ Feel
⚾️ Adjustability
⚾️ Perseverance
⚾️ Grit
Just to name a few...
Players today spend more time in cages looking at screens and less time in the sandlot competing, having to learn how to play the game without coaches.
The players, coaches and organizations who still value fundamentals, stick out more today than ever before!
The kids that miss their HS spring break tournament for vacation miraculously have the parents that complain about playing time...and will ultimately try to get the coach fired if needed! It's all about their kid and creating the path of least resistance. They could care a less about the team or the coaches.
The team I was on has had 4 guys play in the Major Leagues, with a few others still in the Minors. We were primed and ready for a huge spring.
When I looked at the box score after the game, I was proud of the fact that I had hit in the leadoff spot as a true freshman.
