Recruiting Facts.
Players
2027 graduates and junior college baseball.
If you're a 2027 graduate and good enough to be a junior college impact player and haven't seen interest or been offered yet.
It's normal.
Most juco's will start recruiting 2027's this fall.
The overwhelming majority of players that will be Juco freshmen the fall of 2027 haven't been contacted or offered yet.
A lot of juco's are still trying to fill their rosters for the fall of 2026. The uncommitted players that are playing summer ball are getting rewarded.
Play as many fall ball games as possible. Have a great high school season. Play as many games as possible next summer to be game ready when stepping on campus.

It's still very early for 2027's when it comes to junior college recruiting.

Embarrassment to baseball. Maybe one of the most irresponsible things we have seen enacted in the game in a LONG time. @uiltexas needs to create their own rules and boycott this. Unsafe and irresponsible.

[Trent Mongero @CoachMongero]

Right now we live in a world of showcase tooled players (throw hard, hit hard/far, run fast, etc.), but most don’t know how to play the game. Playing checkers when it’s chess.

Get noticed, by demonstrating high baseball IQ and situational awareness. Hustle on and off the field. Control your emotions when you fail and bounce back on the next pitch…. and when you succeed… act like you have done it before… old school style. Yea… I promise you will get noticed.

I've played professional baseball.

I've coached collegiate baseball.

I've evaluated thousands of high school players over the last 12 years.

Here are a few baseball truths I've learned:

• Failure is inevitable. How you respond to it is a choice.
• The game rewards resilience far more than talent gives it credit for.
• Body language is visibly LOUD.
• You never know who's watching.
• Talent gets you noticed. Consistency gets you recruited.
• Nobody cares how good you were last week.
• The players who blame others rarely improve.
• Confidence comes from preparation, not motivation.
• The game owes you nothing.
• Coaches trust competitors before they trust tools.
• Your teammates know if you're real.
• Baseball has a funny way of exposing excuses.
• The best players are usually obsessed with improvement, not attention.
• Nobody remembers your excuses. They remember your actions.

Build your floor. Chase your ceiling. ⚾️

Players.
No bat flips.
No dances.
No theatrics.
How it should be done.

@BaseballAmerica The best offense in college baseball is Georgia and it's not even close.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

A week ago our H.S. players were competing in front of 800-1,000 fans with a season on the line.

Last night they were playing a 16U travel game in front of about 20 people, 0 energy and no pressure.

Tell me again that travel baseball can replace the high school experience.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Not saying these kids aren’t good players—many are.

But some “metrics guys” look great in workouts…

Then varsity H.S. baseball hits:
300+ fans or more, pressure, adversity, no easy games.

Some struggle because varsity pressure is different than travel ball.

Sees this deep and smokes it the other way for an RBI double. Direct path to the ball with a good feel for the barrel.

If you haven't legitimately worked and sacrificed for it.
Nobody wants to hear you complain.
If your son hasn't legitimately worked and sacrificed for it.
Nobody wants to hear you complain.
The weight room, track, cages, pitching machines, long tossing and calories are available year round.
Competitive athletics are designed to be cruel, rude and nasty at times to allow the cream to rise to the top.
Don't be the locker room or grand stand lawyer because you or your son didn't get what he didn't work for.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

College coach told me this week:

“We’re looking for mid-80s arms that throw strikes and can land a secondary.”

Because our 90+ guys can’t find the zone… it’s a walk-a-thon.

At every level—you can’t defend a walk.

Thoughts?

[Radi Nabulsi @RadiNabulsi]

WOW. Georgia just went into Mississippi State and SWEPT the No. 5 team in the nation. Not one game. No split. Not just a series win. But an absolute sweep on the road in SEC baseball.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

As youth travel ball starts…

Coaches: if you don’t have enough pitching to safely get through a tournament — don’t enter.

Too many kids get maxed out just to win a meaningless trophy.

No trophy is worth a young arm.

Parents — if you allow it, you’re part of the problem.

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

Say it with me now. A coach holding you to a standard is not being mean.

2027 SS Brantley Patch took some of the best swings of the night.

Well-leveraged barrel in an uphill path with loads of strength in the frame.

Pull-side 2B here & just missed another XBH late with a loud F9 thanks to some stiff winds.

Most high school players don't understand how strong they will have to be to play college baseball.
Most college players don't understand how strong they will have to be to play professional baseball.
When you think you're strong enough, get stronger.

[Troy Silva @TroyPSilva]

Everyone has the same 24 hours…

How you use them will dictate your future.

That weight room is calling you when you’re not wanting to go.
That extra cage work is available if you want it bad enough.
Those daily ground balls and fly balls can be monotonous, but are difference makers.
That daily long toss seems unimportant now, but can be career changing.

Your 24 hours…
Use them as you wish.
But you are the only one to blame when you don’t use them wisely!

Lift heavy during the season.
You will have the best season of your career.
Baseball players are notorious for getting weaker and losing weight as the season progresses.
You be the one that gets stronger.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Coaches that don't have a relentless obsession to win, should be doing something else.
Players deserve to have coaches that outwork them, and run through the wall for them.
