Reply to "Does anyone use Twitter to boost your son's exposure?"

Another way to get to the people you want to see your tweets is by tagging.  Putting the "@" in front of their Twitter handle in your post will alert them to your post.  There are also some Twitter accounts that promote baseball players that are followed by large numbers of baseball people and are intended for exposure.  @FlatGround and @flatgroundbats were both created by Rob Friedman @pitchingninja to help with exposure.  If you tag those accounts in your tweets he will often retweet your post to all of his followers.

I would reserve that type of blast for exceptional performances or measurables though.  We had a local kid throw a perfect game in Jupiter last week and his dad tweeted it tagging @FlatGround and @perfectgamebaseball which likely got a ton of views.
