@OldMensBaseball@JohnNester17@CoachDavidKlein That’s why I’m thinking schools would be onboard with bringing 10-15 recruits to their campus rather than having to spend the recruiting budget on traveling to go see one guy. When I was at the college level our running joke was “if we can just get him on campus we’ve got a shot”
@JohnNester17@CoachDavidKlein You think they’d charge that much? D1’s probably but I figured the D3’s and D2’s would be happy to have a fresh crop of recruits on campus every week or two.
@CoachDavidKlein@JohnNester17 I’ve thought about pairing a team with a local college to be their “home field.”
Games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday with on-field BP each day.
Before the Thursday or Friday game have the visiting team do a campus tour/intro with the host coaches.
Less travel, more exposure.
I once worked for a coach that “would rather hitters hit Doubles than Home Runs because Home Runs kill rallies.”
I think about this conversation at least once a week.
@TewksHitting Every time this question gets asked I paraphrase @drivelinekyle
“Nowadays it doesn’t matter if you live in Kazakhstan. If you throw 95, have a camera, and an internet connection the scouts will find you.”
@MrMaxPrice Don’t know what kind of time you have but Season 1 of the podcast Serial could easily get students interested and lead to a lot of good discussions.
@GowagsKyle If the ball’s rolling slow enough for my SS to have an attempt at it my CF had better be able to make that throw to the plate without a cut. If not, we have bigger problems
@IWUhoopscom Out of curiosity, what happens after this? Obviously the game is over but does the last 5 minutes of the game have to be made up at some point?
