recruiting video advice
I had a couple questions about recruiting videos. 1. What is the best time to create one and start sending it out? My son is a 2021 catcher. He's getting ready for a busy summer season with a lot of travel and recruiting opportunities. I've seen some advice to wait on a video until junior year, giving the player another year to grow and develop. But he's got some skills that are worth showing at this point, particularly an exit velocity in the low 90's. 2. Is there a downside to the approach...

Recruiting Catchers
We’ve been to a number of camps with our 2020 (HeadFirst, Showball, Stanford, Princeton among others) and we’ve made a few observations about schools recruiting catchers. For example, at Princeton and Georgetown our 2020 was told that their starting catchers were both walk ons which seems to suggest that this isn’t uncommon. After many of the showcase events, our son would tell us that all the catchers there felt like they were just there to facilitate recruiting for pitchers. We’re just...

2022 - Where can I get a good assessment?
I've been reading a lot of recruiting advice on this forum, and much of it seems to be specific to the level of the player. The advice given to an elite-level D1 talent is not appropriate for a D3 level player, and vice versa. As he is beginning his sophomore year of baseball and formulating his college recruiting plan, what is the best way for my son to get an honest assessment of his talent level? His high school and travel team coaches are excellent at teaching the game of baseball, but...

Stanford Camp v. Duke Camp, Summer 2018
