Helping HS baseball players reach college baseball 25+ yrs coaching | 1,000+ college players College recruiting advice + development DM for guidance

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

Most players don’t fail in recruiting because of talent. They fail because no one explains the process honestly.

I’ve spent 25+ years on the recruiting side of college baseball.

This account is where players & parents learn what actually matters. ⚾️

@Bowser1129 @JB02733001 @JaredB_BSBL If you want to make all the rules, coach your own team.

That’s actually how most travel ball teams get started. 😂

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL You can’t count either. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@Bowser1129 @JB02733001 @JaredB_BSBL So your argument is that because you wouldn’t do it, no coach should?

That’s a pretty tough standard to apply across thousands of teams and situations.

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL Funny.

The photo includes a future Olympian for Mexico, a future KBO coach, and a player who returned to Japan.

Yet you looked at one picture and decided you knew everyone’s background.

We’re back to assumptions again.

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL Please keep going!

The more you type, the more wrong you are and the more foolish you look.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL We make a good team.

My entire point has been that people make strong conclusions from limited info.

You called me a grifter, assumed what I tell families, assumed what I promise players and admitted you’re “guessing.”

Thanks for providing another example. 👊🏻

@j5_jazzy @JaredB_BSBL Parents take away privileges on vacations every day. Nobody can determine whether that’s right or wrong without knowing why.

The same applies here.

Context matters.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@j5_jazzy @JaredB_BSBL I’ve made it clear that nobody can determine whether this was appropriate from the limited info provided.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL You keep describing why travel ball wasn’t worth it for you.

That’s very different from proving it isn’t worth it for anyone else.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL Fascinating.

In one tweet, you criticized people for making assumptions and then created an entire fictional story about me.

Self-awareness remains undefeated. 👊🏻

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@TJ_Diggy12 @JaredB_BSBL How do you know that the players actions didn’t warrant his decision?

You don’t.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL I’ve seen travel ball create friendships that lasted a lifetime, opportunities that changed lives and memories families still talk about decades later.

The value isn’t only measured in scholarships or dollars.

Sometimes it’s measured in experiences you’ll never get back.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@pjpowers55 @JaredB_BSBL Nah, you swung and missed.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL Your message made travel ball about transactional investment rather than an experience.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@wes_coers @JaredB_BSBL Maybe the bigger issue isn’t the pool.

It’s that a parent is upset with a coach and looking for social media to settle the dispute.

The first conversation should probably be with the coach, not the internet.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@angry_xer @jphilinTX @JaredB_BSBL If the only value you see in youth sports is a financial return, you’ve missed the point entirely.

The journey, lessons, friendships, adversity and experiences are the return.

The scholarship is just a bonus for a few.

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@advocacy_matter @JaredB_BSBL Then we’d probably agree you’re not a fit for that coach’s team.

Problem solved.

@Trialawdan @JaredB_BSBL Got it

[Steve Trombly @tromblybaseball]

@Trialawdan @JaredB_BSBL I did answer the question. Betcha you can find it in less time than it took you to write that tweet.
