For the first time in history Trinity Christian School is taking a trip to the state tournament! In last nights game I was 2-3 with 4 RBI’s including a bases clearing triple in the bottom of the 6th inning. I came into pitch with bases loaded and no outs in the top of the 5th inning and only let up 1 run while getting the game winning strikeout on the mound. Here is the article and some clips from the championship game.

The Scouting Classroom #15

WHAT SCOUTS WATCH IN BATTING PRACTICE

One of the biggest misconceptions in baseball is what people think scouts are watching during batting practice.

Fans watch where the ball lands.

Scouts watch how it gets there.

Anybody can get fooled by one loud round.

One long home run.
One ball hit over the scoreboard.

One swing that gets people talking.

But scouting has never been about chasing highlights.

It’s about identifying repeatable ingredients.

Because batting practice gives scouts something valuable:

A controlled environment.
No velocity.
No breaking balls.
No two-strike count.
No game pressure.
Just the hitter and the swing.

And when you remove the variables, the swing starts telling a story.

Scouts begin asking questions:

Is there rhythm?
Is there balance?
Is there bat speed?
Is the barrel accurate?
Does the ball jump differently?
Can the hitter create easy carry?
Is the swing efficient?
Can he repeat it?
Does he stay through the middle of the field?
Can he backspin the baseball?
Can he manipulate the barrel?
Does the body actually work?

Those things matter.

Because tools show themselves before production does.

You can hit a long BP home run and fool people.

I've seen players put on unbelievable batting practice shows and completely fall apart once the game started.

And I’ve also seen future big leaguers take quiet rounds where the average fan saw nothing special.

But scouts noticed. Why?

Because the ingredients were there.

The rhythm.
The bat speed.
The timing.
The barrel accuracy.
The ease of operation.
The body control.
The foundation.

Good scouts learn to separate results from ingredients.

Because distance is easy to see.

The swing underneath it takes experience.

The swing tells you a story long before the stat line ever does.

That’s Scouting

Supreme Baseball National  2027 Summer Tryouts now live for Cincinnati OH Lexington KY Louisville KY Indianapolis IN Pittsburgh PA Morgantown WV Cleveland OH Register here….

https://t.co/N3LD6ouHD1…

Supreme plays National Tournaments no league. We will be in the top invited tournaments in the country. We offer an extensive training program 2-4 times a week September through April Training that is ran by former MLB Scouts, college players, and respected high school coaches. 

Supreme Baseball is a true national program trying out kids from five different states. We do not sell the rights to our name or brand to any one team. Any team part of the organization is run by our staff. We limit our teams to a minimum of 2-3 teams per age with a non parent head coach. We focus on development and college placement of all players, so limiting our teams per age allows us to do that. All teams are composed of players from all five states but players train with our hired staff where they live in the offseason. This structure lets us be the most competitive as possible.
