How to get rich in baseball:
Start an “elite” travel team, 15 guys at every age group from 8u to 18u, $2,500 a kid, get one legitimate coach and a bunch of randoms, go to every “national tournament” and win one of the 7 brackets in each age group and market yourselves as a “National championship” winning organization.
Anyone want in?
This is the most true and funniest stuff ever. When I played D1 ball we had 1 freshman getting any playing time. The rest of the freshman rode the pine or got redshirted then ended up transfering anyways 😂 kids and parents just don’t get it
Recruiting
Just told by the 3rd guy today that I'm not interested. im waiting on a d1 offer. WAKE UP. IF it comes, you will sit, and then you wasted one year of eligibility for what. Go where you play develop, then go after your stock has gone up and get a better offer.
No offense to summer coaches, I did it for a long time, but kids getting recruited solely off the word of summer coaches is wild. That guys has seen him for a few weeks vs his college coach that had him for a yr or more. Not to mention had to deal with academics, dorm/living, etc
Juco recruiting has been hurt by so many programs not having synergy and trackman.
Back in the day guys got out and saw kids and made evaluations. Now if you don’t have video and data it’s tough to get people to pay attention. Recruiting has gotten extremely lazy IMO.
Friendly reminder
Parents play just as much of a role during tryout season as their kids. It’s more than talent—it’s about how you and your player align with the goals and vision of the team and coach.
Yes, the Yankees have a literal genius MIT Physicist, Lenny (who is the man), on payroll. He invented the “Torpedo” barrel. It brings more wood - and mass - to where you most often make contact as a hitter. The idea is to increase the number of “barrels” and decrease misses.
Wow! President Trump and JD Vance just told Zelenskyy exactly what millions of Americans have wanted to tell him, right to his face. Someone needed to say it.
Why your best hitter should not bat 3rd.
The 3 spot in the lineup comes up with 2 outs and no runners on far more than any spot in the lineup. This is the 2023 season for example
The 3-hole is a filler spot where you put your 5th best hitter

Set up a
Ray gun.
a
Jugs gun.
a
Stalker gun.
and
Trackman.
at a game.
and tell us the difference between the readings.
It would be educational for a lot of people.
It is so good to have the Venezuela Hostages back home and, very important to note, that Venezuela has agreed to receive, back into their Country, all Venezuela illegal aliens who were encamped in the U.S., including gang members of Tren de Aragua. Venezuela has further agreed to supply the transportation back. We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens from all Countries, and all Countries have agreed to accept these illegal aliens back. Furthermore, record numbers of criminals are being removed from our Country, and the Border numbers are the strongest they have been since the First Term of the Trump Administration!
Last few years I have seen lots of kids re-classing because they want to go a D1 Powerhouse and then when it’s all over they end up at a D3. D3 is a great option but you didn’t need to re-class to get there. JUCO is another good option without re-classing! Anyone else seeing this?
Watch President Trump’s very personal reaction to Laken Riley’s mother, Allyson Phillips, as she describes through tears her daughter Laken who was tragically killed at the hands of an illegal from Venezuela who never should have been here. May God bless her memory.
My first year being a Pro Scout with the Mets back in 2008. H.S. Coach calls me and says I have a kid 90-92 MPH you need to see him. I drive an hour to a game and he’s 80-83 MPH on my Radar. That was my first experience as a Scout learning people lie about velocity.

#Panthers rookie WR Xavier Legette took a squirrel out the tree and RIPPED ITS SKIN OFF.
“Took the clothes off him.”
XL is now going to cook it and eat it for dinner.
This man 😭😭😭
This is the best video you can watch! Best quote you can get. “Hard work doesn’t gurentee results, it guarantees honestly” what that means is you know deep down if you put the work in full effort or not but, that work won’t guarantee you play in the MLB
Every athlete (heck any high performer) should watch this video.
Also, this is OG baseball performance training, back then it was shunned, not it is mainstream.
I’ve only played with 1-2 catchers that are even consistently in the 1.9s. This is actually funny because the catchers I’ve seen in the 1.9s are 88+ from behind the plate… every single one of these kids must be better than the pro guys I’ve played with according to perfect game
We can't be serious with this? You are trying to tell me a a 2027 was a 1.71 pop? There is absolutely ZERO chance. It's not the kids fault they are just do what is rewarded. There can not be a college coach or pro scout that will see this as anywhere close to accurate.
