When I was recruiting, often had potential players/parents ask “What separates a FR on the field?”
Obviously there is always a skill component, but being physically ready for a full year of baseball with a strong base to build on was normally a huge difference.
Your athlete doesn’t need another skill lesson.
They need a body that can express the skill they already have or build the capacity to develop set skill.
Under-fueled.
Under-trained.
Over-used.
That’s what I’m seeing.
Physical development isn’t optional—it’s the foundation.
