The trash talking/dugout chirping is soooo tired. Imagine if all the coaches policed it for a year or two. I'd bet the behavior would change. Any coaches willing to join me in stopping this?

Players, go watch college baseball in person this weekend. Show up early to BP and In/Out. Get close to the field and see how big, strong, fast these guys are. And then get back to work.

Disturbing trend I’m hearing with HS aged players - Travel coaches saying “If you leave our team, I’ll bad mouth you to all the colleges.” You people should be ashamed of yourselves!

I don't think enough HS kids who think they can play 2 way in college realize how good you have to be to pull it off.

Player Secret
#5
- find a summer coach who will actually coach and develop you. You don’t need a cheerleader or hype man. You need someone who will work to make you better and prepare you for college.

Parents should stay away from the dugout. Why? It paints the picture that either a) the player can't plan properly to bring enough water, Gatorade, etc. or b) the parent feels the need to coach the player. Neither is a good look. Let him grow! Exceptions for injury, etc.

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Coaches don’t always show up wearing their logos. Sometimes they want to be in disguise to see how you really play the game. Someone is always watching. Remember that.

If your summer coach can’t/doesn’t/won’t help you get better, what are you doing? There are so many non-baseball people in travel baseball now, it is scary.

Want to play in college? This time of year always reminds me of key advice - you HAVE to love the game. early work, breakfast, classes, lunch, practice, lift, dinner, study hall & then extra work. That's your life in college.

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨
Summer Baseball is here. Show up ready. Warm up with intent. Play with a sense of urgency. Be a leader. Communicate. Hustle. Compete. Be a great teammate. Give a college coach a reason to notice you

Kinda weird that HS coaches hide their individual/team stat numbers.
55
30
561
🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Players, you need to be more interested in how you play rather than how you look. I don't see any college players wearing hoodies under their jerseys or towels in their back pockets or sliding mitts in their pockets on defense. Focus on being better.
21
72
542
Most HS kids have zero concept of what competing at the college level is like. You have to prove yourself EVERY. DAY. and in every way. If you make the game all about you, you will not last in college baseball. Coaches do not have time for pouting because you made an error.

A secret for all you players...get really good at the boring stuff. Make the routine plays, throw to a target, proper footwork, have a consistent load & footwork at the plate, run hard every time out of the box...these will make you better & you will always stand out & win.

Anti-transfer portal guys, a lot of the players were told they won't play or aren't wanted. What else are they supposed to do? And don't comeback with "they shouldn't commit in 9th grade". Many of them did not.

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 26-28 grads need to be focused on getting bigger, faster, stronger & better. Colleges are focusing on 24's & 25's. 26-28s need to surround themselves with the best possible coaching to give feedback, advice & direction.

If any players or coaches are depressed from COVID & need someone to talk to, slide into my DMs. I'm finding a lot of people are dealing with "stuff". I'm here for you!

Players, don't get caught up in these All-Tourney/Pre-season All-American lists. NO ONE CARES. College coaches sure don't. No one will remember any of it when the season starts. Keep getting better physically and mentally every single day.
11
19
358
🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 2025's, today is your day. I hope you have a list of questions for coaches. Take time to get them answered. Find the right place, not just A place. If coaches don't call, keep working & market yourself. You only need 1 school to find you "pretty"

345
🚨 Recruiting Reality🚨 When you play for your teammates rather than just for yourself, you will see a jump in your game. You will lead. You will be more consistent because you focus less on results. You will be better. Try it. Trust me.

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Parents, don't be a reason why your son isn't recruited. Yelling at umps, coaching from the stands, talking poorly of other players, etc. are all reasons your son gets ❌off a list. Coaches sit in the stands to listen to you. Happens all the time.

Youth/HS players, put the ball down for a few months. Get bigger, faster, stronger & MOVE BETTER. It's so important to your development as a player.
7
37
328
🚨RECRUITING REALITY🚨 If you don't love to work away from scheduled practices (weight room, cage, bullpen, etc.), you won't excel in college. You will dislike your experience and likely quit. I'd rather save you the heartache by being upfront. You have to really love it.
2
59
323
Players, you just had your first week(end) of travel baseball. If you went 0-20 or 20-20, that's not who you are. Keep working.

320
Tip for youth players. Find a coach/team that will help you get better. If you aren't improving, then "exposure" means nada.
5

Another secret for players - you're not considered a good hitter unless you can hit a good fastball. If you can't, you won't play at the next level. Don't miss fastballs!
3
36
312
🚨RECRUITING REALITY🚨 I'll tell you the truth that most people won't...there is NOT a place for everyone to play. You have to be REALLY good and LOVE to play the game. You can't go through the motions in HS and then play in college. It doesn't work that way.
11
52
308
HS & youth players, it ABSOLUTELY matters who you play with. There is ZERO reason a kid should be throwing 99 pitches in December tourney. Surround yourself with the right coaches.

My previous tweet re: spam tagging college coaches simply pointed to the problem. I want to be part of the solution. Here are some of my tips for travel coaches to help promote their players.
19
54
300
🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 HS players, stop worrying about being “embarrassed” by bad swings, bad calls, getting out, etc. What should be embarrassing is when you negatively react to the adversity.
1
53
302
Players, if you’re not one of the 2-3 best players on the field every single HS game, don’t worry about recruiting and focus on getting better.
16
43
296
Players, please stop reacting to bad strike calls while hitting. Yes, we saw it. Yes, it will happen again. No, your coaches don't care...only your parents do. Your reaction tells me that you likely won't flush it before the next pitch.
6
60
289
Players who are "grinding". Work harder. You need to outwork everyone around you to accomplish your goals.
3
25
285
Players, you can't be a player and an umpire. The sooner you learn to ignore "bad calls", the better the player you will become.

Freshmen ⚾️ entering the portal…you won’t likely find another D1 home immediately. Go build a resume and then try again later. Some of you need better advice. 🤦🏻♂️

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Fielders, coaches can tell if you can play by watching you field 2-3 GBs in between innings. That's the amount of time you have to get a ✅ or ❌. Don't miss the opportunity. Do it right every time.

Coaches, check in on your players. You'd be surprised what it means to your guys.

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 HS players, clean up your body language. It’s the easiest way to get crossed off recruiting lists. Why would a college coach want that? They can go get a portal dude who deals better with adversity.

I've seen a lot of people justify a bat flip bc a pitcher's animated actions (& vice versa). I'll offer another argument - who cares what the other guy does? If you worry about the actions of others in in real life, you're going to be miserable. Worry about you.

228
HS players, have you seen how many tweets today from college players entering the portal? You better get to work if you want to compete.

229
🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Players, don't focus on rankings. Don't compare yourself to others. Run your race and make yourself as good as possible. Bsb skills, strength, speed, decision-making, mental game. Be elite in everything you do & things will work out fine.

Baseball is so much like life. One day you crush it (5 HRs) and the next day you get crushed (no hit). Get up the next day and expect to dominate. It builds character.

Players,

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Coaches want to see you at your worst so they know your character. How do you act when you are 0-4? Anybody can be a great teammate when you are 4-4.

37
211
🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Treat pregame like the game itself. Prepare. Focus. Have a routine. College coaches watch you stretch, catch play, long toss, GBs & FBs, etc. to see how much you care & know about the game. Do you love the game? These are ?s coaches need to answer.

HS Players, you have an opportunity to get better this month. Don't take it off like a lot of players do! You can make important gains while others are taking a break.

Congrats to all football players on National Signing Day. Now, you can stop posting about who has offered you and how many offers you have.

So hitters should stop competing because their team is up by 6 runs? Should pitchers not throw CBs if they are up 6? Embarrassing. Be better.
6
19
204
Players - to move to the next level, you have to get really good at the "boring" things. Make the routine plays. Be consistent. These have to be embraced to advance. If you can't do them in HS, college doesn't want you.

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 Players, schools want guys who can win. If you can't help them win, they don't want you. Become a winner in everything you do. Be the best son, best student, best person, best player. Life is a competition. Learn how to win.

HS players you HAVE to get in the weight room if you plan to play in college. I saw 50+ guys today and only a handful were close to being physical. Bigger, faster, stronger.

🚨RECRUITING REALITY🚨 Hitters, your exit velo is 95+ off a tee? Cool. Let's see how many balls you square up when the opposing pitcher is 90+ and there is a defense. That's how you prove you are a dude.

🚨Recruiting Reality🚨 3 reasons to attend a college camp: 1) Be discovered by them - but you have to be really good (if not, don't go) 2) Establish/continue a relationship with the staff. If they've shown interest previously, go to learn more. 3) Get instruction.
