How about parents teaching their children to do what it takes to be winner and how not to worry about what a scout is looking for? If a “scout” or college is looking for anything less than than a winner which is the best situation to be in than likely that school or scout are chasing the wrong thing and isn’t for you.

I guess these guys never watched the movie Moneyball

I am going to show my dad this video. he trains me everyday

Do you have Ed Lovelace contact info?? Appreciate it.

Thank you coach, I am working on my speed and core strength. great story

There still one more thing I feel like you left out and that is having a high profile or a lot of exposure as an athlete. By that I mean playing in a well-known and populated area, playing college sports (not just baseball) has turned to a profession itself. Now and days if you're a well-known up and coming baseball player with these tools you're basically going to have schools contacting you every day to come play for them (don't get me stated about the NIL delas). I been to a few college camps myself in North Carolina and I realized that I need to work on these three tools (which I am currently working on over the Christmas break), but I also realized that these kids come from pretty populated areas unlike myself, and those are usually the kids the Coaches know by first name. Where I live baseball is not very popular (at least with minorities) so much to the fact that I never player organized ball till I was 13, and I only have one high school baseball season under my belt (even though I am a Junior and never be injured during the spring & summer seasons). The conversations I've had with these kids they come from places like Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greenville, even out of state. And when someone ask where I from I usually lie and say Greenville because that the closest large city to where I'm from and that is easier that having to explain that I'm not from Plymouth Massachusetts, or where in the world is Plymouth, North Carolina. I could be wrong but then again nobody that went to the same high school as me has received a scholarship to play college baseball in two decades. There is a kid who recently received a scholarship and is currently playing at Barton College, but he was homeschooled unlike the majority of kids in that county (especially kids who are minorities). But that was my two cents or two dollars I should say since this comment is so long, I still have not gave up on playing college baseball as a matter of I just recently joined a travel ball team for the summer, and I'm looking at more than just D-1 schools as well playing college ball at any level would be a blessing! All in all, this was a Great Video!

Coach Mark, for anyone with wanting to advance their young sons potential in baseball, you knocked it out of the park with this one. I hope parents heed your advice, as I believe kids of all ages and their parents cann have fun scoring QAB's watching the pros together, and really improve their all around game. Hey how about a video on how to fill out and score a QAB chart, and a graph to track progress? Thank you for this great coaching session!

Real simple they are looking for size, speed, power, arm strength, baseball IQ, dedication/motivation/accept coaching, things like that. Your kid could bat 1000 in HS and not get drafted or get a offer from a major conference. How many 5'8' 165-pound players are in the biggs now days? Very few, if you're son isn't 6' 185 + and that's for second base, you need not apply. Join the military do something positive with your life don't waste time, money, and effort chasing the jock dream.
