Find Your Competitive Edge

Baseball players are born to compete. We are always finding ways to get that competitive edge over our opponents.

Through these uncertain times, that opponent has become ourselves and the player we want to be. It is easy to sit around and do nothing while you wait to find out what is going to happen to the remainder of the high school season, or what delay will be put on the travel ball season.

Just know that while you’re sitting at home doing nothing, the next guy is still working to develop and get better. Facilities and parks may be closed but that should not stop you from doing the work. Continue to do workouts at home to keep your body in shape and ready for the season to start back up.

Pitchers: Continue to throw and do your arm care exercises. Keep your arms and legs in shape.

Hitters: Continue to hit in the cage. If you don’t have a cage, hit off a tee into a net. Keep getting reps in any way possible.

Coaches may not be able to get out to watch you play, but they are still actively recruiting. Whether it’s through emails, texts, or phone calls they are continuing to work.

I have had more coaches contact me during this time than ever before because they are still in need of players but it’s harder for them to find players without being able to see them in person.

Scouts across the country are relying heavily on video as a way of evaluating players during this time. If you are unsure of where you stand in the recruiting process or need help navigating these tough times, please let us know.
