The numbers don’t lie. Only about 2 out of every 100 high school baseball players will ever play Division I baseball. And today’s high school seniors aren’t just competing against other high school seniors for roster spots. They’re competing against 20-year-old JUCO sophomores, 21-year-old NAIA transfers, 22-year-old D1 transfers, and players with multiple years of college experience. D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO baseball are full of outstanding players and outstanding programs. The goal isn’t to find the highest level. The goal is to find the right fit and earn your opportunity once you get there.
🚨 “This is a crazy time to be playing college baseball.” College coach Victor Solis from Paradise Valley Community College explains that college coaches now have more options than ever before. Because of that, players and families need to stay open-minded about opportunities and understand the importance of finding the RIGHT level and fit. The landscape has changed.

Unfortunately, Many hitting coaches these days are unknowingly teaching the natural adjustability and athleticism out of hitters in an attempt to create the perfect swing. If a hitter’s “swing” can’t adjust naturally and athletically, you’re making the hitter worse… even though they might “look better” off a tee or soft toss. #BaseballTruth
