Reply to "Your best piece of college recruiting advice"

Lots of good stuff so far. Will try to add a couple points not covered.  Recruiting is like gambling in Vegas.  Anyone can win but your odds are much better if you know how to play the probabilities. All schools want big physical kids. The more high profile the program the more this is true. And it’s true at all levels of baseball. D3 Trinity (TX) has players that are bigger and more physical than any other D3 I have seen. Same for Tampa in D2 and same for top 30 D1 programs. Also same for top JuCo programs. Take a look at the players at San Jac.  They are grown ass men. Point being, if you don’t fit that profile don’t waste your time pursuing those kinds of schools. Assuming you can play is a given but you have to look the part.  Another thing is that you should know who you are and what you have to offer. 99.9% of players in college are not 2 way guys. The primary reason for this is that there isn’t enough time in the day for weight lifting, classes, study hall, meetings, position player practice routine AND pitching practice routine. Something has to give. Too many kids (and parents) think they are in the one tenth of one percent that can pull it of. You aren’t and you can’t. So focus on showcasing your best Tool & not a mediocre sample of all of them.
