@CoachBeede For the vast majority of baseball players and families the phone will not ring. Don’t let that discourage you. Stay in the game, keep a good attitude, and chart your course.
Own your future and remember it only takes one coach and program to believe in you from D1 to D3
May is over. Here is what the next thirty days actually look like inside college baseball, since most parents do not see it.
June 1 opens the main transfer portal window. Within seventy-two hours, hundreds of college players enter. Some are walking away. Most have been pushed.
Coaches who lose players to the portal are on the phone within hours, sometimes minutes, reshaping their rosters. That reshaping cascades downward — Power 4 takes from mid-major, mid-major takes from D2 and NAIA, D2 and NAIA take from junior college, and junior college reaches into the high school class.
A 2026 who thought his commitment was settled in March can find his depth chart completely different by July 4.
If your son is committed, this is the month to have an honest check-in with his future coach. Not a panicked one. A direct one. "What does the roster look like for me right now?" is a fair question. Coaches who answer it honestly are the coaches you want.
The June portal does not slow down for anyone. The families who watch it carefully are the ones who avoid the August surprise.
First college appearance on the mound came in the 7th inning 3.4 innings pitched 0HITS 0RUNS 3K’s came in and shut down to close and get the win what a great start to the college season
0-0 curveballs have the highest run value out of all pitches, when thrown in zone.
Why?
Because it is a FREE strike.
Curveballs are swung at just 23% of the time in 0-0 counts when it is IN ZONE.
All 0-0 curveballs? Only 15% swings.
Knowing this, if you can't land a curveball, it probably isn't a good 0-0 option for you.
Understand what pitches you can land and can't.
Understand what pitches you are trying to get swings on and which ones you are trying to get takes.
Knowing who you are and the purpose behind each pitch is vital to your success.
Team Antone's Kaiko'o Gossert goes the other way for a 2-run single to right field.
