Does he know the 6 th tool and Informed Instinct? pro scouts and college coach have an understanding. Bob

Below is a Blastmotion instagram video showing Radar gun. He is consistently high 90's to 103 https://www.instagram.com/p/CA...b_button_share_sheet

Below is a Twitter Tweet sent out by Grandson's Travel ball team. Feel free to retweet. https://twitter.com/DubBasebal...574340896845825?s=19

Good lookin' kid. Nice BUT, if I'm him, I'd be asking the travel team to take and post another video clip. It may be just me but a swing-and-miss in the cage sort of sticks in my mind and takes away from the overall impression. JMO.

Bob, Dub Baseball has done a complete player analysis package using all the latest technology that they will send out to any college showing interest. He's got real power and a frame that could easily put on another 20 pounds to his current 6'3"/210 athletic body.

Peach: In case you don't know there's a program called Western Undergraduate Exchange that allows CA kids to attend other western public schools much less than regular out of state tuition. https://www.wiche.edu/wue

Nice!! Good to use the FGbats twitter for retweet. Now watch the views and reach explode. Check their handle on what to include. Don't see radar gun in video (hint, hint). Include his twitter account. You're welcome and good luck!!

right, you don't need to show us, you/they need to tweet and include that stuff in the tweet is what everyone is saying.....

Did the Dub Travel Team measure "Informed Instinct"? 6th Tool? Bob

I've mentioned this on another post, but exit velo needs to be off a tee. A moving ball will have a higher exit velocity than off a tee. The second overall pick last year (and probably the second best HS bat I've ever seen live) topped at 100 mph. It's unlikely your grandson is at that level. Even then, exit velo isn't the important number. The important number is pitching velocity and how well he hits good pitching. Anybody can smack around 67 in the cage. How does he handle 85+ and how...

get your batting and skill video and tag ONLY his travel team and @flatgroundbats on twitter and they will retweet for you to get your views and exposure up. check out their website on what to include in the video. Also check out Rudd's twitter and youtube channel for tips directly from coaches on what to include in an email and video. https://twitter.com/jrudd_scou...252032601305088?s=21 I know you said Cali, but some state schools in other states, like GA have extra money given lottery...

Hustle can be inconsistency. The inside of the game. Read the bat, read the runner, read the pitcher. Study patterns. Where is the wind, the distance to left center, the moisture on the grass. The catchers stance. When is the cell phone disabled? Did he watch the pitcher warm up in the bullpen? Ted Williams did. Has he read the Willie May's books. Did you know Willie, he called the pitches from CF? This is informed instincts.l Bob

Bob, I don't know if he does all the things you mentioned, but I have noticed that he's always in the game, watching the pitcher and the positioning of the defense. He has the ability to hit hard to all fields and has mentioned that he tried to hit the ball to a certain area because of the way the defense was aligned. Patrick

Thank you. If I coached today I would eliminate all cell phone two hours before the game or practice. Fine focus and concentrate. Body language tell me everything. Bob

I wonder why a 2021 who has recorded one of the highest EVs of all time who is big, runs sub 7 and throws 90 isn't committed to a D1 school yet. Has he not performed in games?

A video was posted. Did you see it ? Enough said.

I understand that you are an advocate for your grandson. Look at Junior Colleges.

Thanks Bob. There is no doubt that the path to college baseball has become more difficult - especially for position players. Very few HS seniors are good enough to impact a good 4 yr school program as a freshman (or sophomore) even in normal times - much less now. With 2020 seniors returning and the talent pool being deeper than ever the challenge is great.

My Grandson was among league leaders in ExtraBase hits in his Sophomore year. Junior year cut short due to Covid-19 but he again was a league leader in ExtraBase hits. He's been named to the All-Tournament team at all 4 of the Showcases he's attended after Sophomore year, but again due to Covid-19 there have been no Showcases this Summer for D1 coaches to see him. I should also mention that while he was good as a Sophomore he worked really hard putting on 25 pounds of muscle for his Junior...

Adbono your absolutely correct. each California JC will have over 150 candidates for their team this this year. In addition, 20 on loan from D-1 and D-2 schools. Probably the same in Texas, AZ, Oklahoma. Study the game, forget metrics Bob Gibson did not "give a hoot" about metrics. He watched your position in the batter's box, position of your hands, angle of your bat, your front foot and your eyes. Bob

What is the point of this post? EV is only important if it can be produced in game conditions.

According to PG only 8 HS players have ever topped 103 at pg events. 103 is faster than the top hs draft picks Veen (99), howard (95) and hassell (91). Ev is very important but 103 is obviously super elite and once you get past a certain threshold (say mid 90s) it is probably more important to worry about making that power play in games rather than further pushing batspeed. I mean you need to hit 400 foot to hit pro ball bombs but there are no extra points for 450 foot.

Covid has complicated a lot of things. It will be the end of many players careers. It will not be back to normal anytime soon. Your grandson should pursue Junior College options. Based on my educated opinion, that would be the best path.

Covid-19 has made things difficult, many colleges have already said this Fall would be Online only. If the virus lingers on Spring sports could be impacted as well. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon.

With Covid-19 it's been a challenge for non pitchers. He has a few schools calling, but no official offers yet. One school told him they will be offering him a scholarship once they know which Seniors are coming back and how much scholarship money they have. He was recently ranked as a Top 25 player in California at 1B/OF by Perfect Game which should raise his stock with schools. That said, he really likes the Coach at the school that is most interested in him, and it also close to home so...

I saw you logged on not too long ago. Has your grandson found a home?

okay thought i’d share this as I think its both effective and entertaining. My youngest son is slow. But sometimes I’ve actually seen him move very fast and athletically, so I began to surmise that maybe he just didn’t instinctively know how to RUN fast. Off season he ran cross-country which I always hated for baseball players because it trains you to move slow. my belief but cant convince mom of that. So I came up with a game, I sent him into the fenced back yard with a backpack with 3 to 4...
