My son just came home from a college coaches camp his travel organization puts on. He had the opportunity to talk with a few coaches. The topic of what the coaches look for came up. He said one coach put this out as his list
1. are you hustling
2. If your hustling his next call is to your guidance counselor to check on what type of person you are as well as your grades
3. Next call is to your travel and HS coach asking about your work ethic
4. If he can he will sit in his car and watch for you as you come to the game. He's watching to see what you look like showing up at the park.
5. he will then walk over and watch you warm up.
6. if you pass all the above then they will start to evaluate your baseball skills
He he said that the other coaches in the discussion concurred that most of them all have similar things they look at.
