Have the courage to talk to your coach privately about lack of playing time? Be sure it's 'What more can I do to help the team' as opposed to 'I want more playing time'. Also, don't get sucked in with the guys complaining at the end of the bench. It's a bad look! NCSA Baseball

You don't need to go to baseball showcases or camps to get verified numbers. If you can get video of a 60 on a football field, ball off a tee and thrown ball with radar gun in view of the camera the video won't lie. NCSA Baseball

Schools in the same conference usually recruit on similar timelines and are very similar in a lot of ways. If you are interested in one school that has a spot available, jump into their conference as well. Great way to increase the # of schools you can attack! NCSA Baseball

Almost every one of my clients has heard this come out of my mouth in the last couple years. For coaches it is a no brainer. It's unfortunate but it is reality.

One of my favorite clients told me his old man was worried he might be selling himself short by going D3. On the flip side, maybe looking at a higher level, not being valued, and not playing would sell himself short of a great college experience. #perspective @NCSA NCSA Baseball

For any young athletes out there that might not know who this is, his name is Lucas Glover....read about his past performance struggles and what he has done recently. Then watch this clip. This is what a truly hungry athlete looks/sounds like.

Can somebody/anybody explain to me why left handed bats are so important to coaches when historically their hitting splits are atrocious against left handed pitching and most college rosters have at least one LHP in the rotation? SMH

For '28/'27 and even '26 grads there is almost zero reason to attend a showcase this summer UNLESS your parents are rich or you just want to see what it is like. Nobody is looking at 28/27 and not many are getting after '26. Go to a local camp and get instruction! NCSA Baseball

With a lot of guys already starting their season and a bunch more on the cusp of starting, just remember that if you play like your hair is on fire, you make the decision to take you out of the game that much harder on your coach, regardless of your results. Enjoy the game!!

If you are putting together a skills film, do yourself a favor and do it as close to game speed as possible. Coaches gain very little from video showing a guy sleep walking through drills. @NCSA_baseball

There are so few reasons to voluntarily stop playing multiple sports in high school. You only get one crack to participate in high school sports. If you love/like doing it, keep doing it! Tired of kids being told they need to play 1 sport. NCSA Baseball

Just looked at a Power 5 school with 19 freshman committed for the 2023 class (baseball). Pretty sure that math doesn't add up, especially when the transfers start rolling in. What the heck is going on.....SMH at athletes and coaches. Who is holding the bag....NOT THE COACHES!

The college transfer play fails more often than people think. Re-evaluate your situation and get a perspective from somebody outside your immediate circle. You know your current situation well but have no idea what the new situation holds, it could be worse! NCSA Baseball NCSA College Recruiting

Coaches are agnostic to the 'big 3' baseball companies (PG, PBR, BF). They don't just search one, they will search for you in all three. In other words, you don't necessarily need to spend the money thinking you need to be in all three of their databases. NCSA Baseball

If your #1 goal is to go to college and try to play early and often, D1 is NOT the route for you. Look at any D1 in the country and see how they spread out their ABs or IP. Historical data is not in your favor. NCSA Baseball

To all my clients....deepest apologies for those that have tagged me recently as I am no longer getting notified about it since I set new settings to stop political posts from jamming up my feed. I'm not very tech savvy....any ideas how to fix it?

Prospective college athletes who think that staying closer to home will allow them to go home more often during down periods in the college year have obviously never spoken to a college athlete before. It ain't happening! NCSA Baseball @NCSA

For those guys being modest and not wanting to post much on Twitter, please know it is appreciated. Also know that utilizing Twitter to gently promote yourself is almost necessary to have success in the recruiting process. Post video, blurb about the team instead NCSA Baseball

Talking to a couple colleagues and thinking how great baseball used to be when you only had one uniform/hat, paid almost nothing to play, and just played for the sake of playing/competing. As a father of 8/6 yr old boys, it's going to be a tough pill to swallow.

Time is precious for coaches. Keep emails short and to the point. If they have to scroll through an email, they probably are not reading it. One tip....rather than adding your entire summer schedule to your email, include it as a Word document. @NCSA NCSA Baseball
