Hello I am new to the message boards. I am former Xavier University outfielder, graduated 2015 and played professionally in independent baseball for 2 yrs. My Mom used to post here, and she recommended I ask the fellow posters for advice. 

I currently am coaching for the Lima Locos in the GLSCL.  I also give hitting lessons, and am passionate about helping my players improve every day. 

I also have been hosting a free baseball podcast, which is directed towards up and coming players and their parents.  Would love any advice on how this can be more helpful to the players.  Here is a link to one of my podcasts below.

Welcome Patrick. I listened to a couple of your podcasts this weekend. I think people here should give it a listen. Good content with some great guests. I wish there were podcasts like yours when my son and I were spending all those hours driving to baseball events.
Are you asking your guests to mention their appearances on their social? I know Jason Ferber has 100K followers on Instagram. Best of luck. I hope you will become a regular contributor here.

thanks @MidAtlanticDad I just released one with Bronson Arroyo today. I think it is very good because he talks about how his dad never pressured him to do well. Yes I do ask each guest to promote it on social media. Unfortunately Bronson doesn't have social media, he still uses a flip phone. It through me off when I was at his house and he pulled that thing out. haha. What type of content are you looking for? Or do you think people will want?

thanks for listening. 

Sorry for the duplicate post, but I meant to put this here:

I have not had a chance to listen to the podcast yet, but I'm looking forward to it. 

You probably know this, Patrick, but in case you don't,  I just want to say that it's a mistake to wait for other people to promote your podcast for you on Twitter.  It takes time, but you can generate a following on your own by getting onto Twitter and following every single baseball type account or baseball account follower you can find, thereby getting a bunch of follow backs, and then posting tweets and interacting with folks with comments that will inspire them to check out your podcast and you.   For example, Kyle Boddy, who posts here, has  over 66K tweets and 36K followers.   He doesn't follow that many people -- only 1523 - but he doesn't have to.  His brand is already built.  But if you look at Steve Springer, he has tweeted 16.4k  times and is following about the same number of people that are following him, around 54K -- so it looks like he has used Twitter to build his following and brand.  

As for what people want to hear -- you could probably learn a lot about that by just reading here for a while and seeing the kinds of questions people have.

Good luck!
