I’m Patrick Jones, a former hitting coach in the Orioles organization — now I help high school baseball players get recruited to play college baseball.
On this show, I break down how the recruiting process really works. Each week, I interview college coaches, pro players, and insiders to help players and parents understand what it takes to get seen, get evaluated, and get offers. We cover everything from navigating the transfer portal and building exposure, to standing out at camps, managing communication with coaches, and making smart recruiting decisions.
If you want to play college baseball — and you’re serious about the process — this podcast is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Keith Madison, former head coach at the University of Kentucky. Keith coached at Kentucky for 25 years! In this episode, we discuss the challenges of coaching, particularly the importance of maintaining balance to avoid burnout. Keith shares personal experiences and insights on how to navigate the pressures of coaching while emphasizing the need for coaches to find balance between their work and their personal lives. We also touch on the evolution of coaching perspectives, the good and the bad of travel baseball, and the writing process behind Keith's new book, "Coaching with Purpose."
