In this episode, we talk about the little things that coaches look for when recruiting players in the summer for their program. It is not just pitching velocity, exit velocity, or your defensive prowess. While these are important, coaches want to see how complete a baseball player you are. Can you run the bases hard and correctly? Can you get yourself into the correct position on cuts and relays? What does your routine look like on deck and in the box? What is your level of feel or instincts for the game? Can you control the running game or field your position as a pitcher? A lot more goes into evaluations than just how hard you may throw or hit the baseball.

In this episode, we talk about the give and take of the recruiting process. When you opt into wanting to be recruited there are certain things you get to do and find out before the general population while also having to make a decision without being able to do one hundred precent of what you might want to during the college search process. Being recruited is a far different experience than that of a student who will not play a sport so there will inevitably be some give and take.

In this episode, we talk about the window of opportunity in the summer and how sometimes the window to be seen and perform in front of college coaches can be incredibly small. Sometimes players will only have one or two games to show what they are capable of and that could be the difference between and yes or a no in the recruiting process.
