🙏🏻 Thanks so much for watching! If you've got any questions or comments about pitching, hop down below and let's chat there!

[@CloranM]

I needed this conversation to go on for like 2 hours... love the info, but I feel like it just scratched the surface. Great job.

[@tw7554]

Awesome video. You guys touched on so much for parents to understand, but unfortunately, most won't understand. When I say understand, I really mean comprehend because they are so entrapped by the travel ball world of more tournaments are better, and more showcases are better. As a parent of a JUCO player and a big Div I commit, we have received an education about the college recruiting process (at all levels), and you guys are on point! Really enjoy what you guys are doing! I look forward to more of these....

[@YouGoPro]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 Wishing your boys all the best on their journey! 👊😉

[@andybufano7363]

Great information. Thanks Coach.

[@sclass21]

Very insightful video. Answered a lot of my questions. My son is 13 and has done a spring and fall season in rec and has really fallen in love with the game and wants to do travel now.

[@bayroot510]

I like how you both collaborated on this video.

[@ryanthomas8955]

You guys need to do more collabos

[@carlosfigueroa9287]

Great content

[@R2sojr09]

Picked a travel team for my 12u daughter that they are usually around .500. She will get full playing time, the facilities are awesome and the coaches are solid dudes. If you are playing 40-60 games, you have to enjoy the ppl you surround your child with. She doesn’t need rings every weekend. I want her to develop and play against better competition.

[@az8405]

Hey, thanks for the videos, they are most helpful for perspective. I'm a little frustrated with this one because many travel ball organizations are detrimental to rec leagues. The same thing happenes with club soccer. I'm wondering what your thoughts and ideas are where they can both exist.

[@eprohoda]

YouGoProBsaeball,Good day, yeah!that is excellent done. :)

[@YouGoPro]

Thank you

[@899tone]

Great information

[@YouGoPro]

Thank you

[@xavierrivera9130]

Awesome video, scouring youtube for information my son is 11 and I'm new to the whole process

[@loganbrokaw4633]

Dude, PLEASE get rid of the background music in your videos…. I want to hear what is being said and not distracted by bad music.

[@ricklorence]

I enjoyed the beat in the background. Helpful baseball information, thanks guys!

[@dcartiair]

agree turn music down turn voice volume up

[@kingbuckley2024]

Good job coaches

[@shawnmsattler2116]

Awesome content, will have my kids ay 2 spotrs tell high school if there mire dedicated to more one than the other. My son baseball and soccer.loves both and he's itching for base ball right now but we have 4 plus inches of snow still and 34 degrees. No indoor area to practice besides home. He's 6 just like your kids age. Looking forward to the under 10 video.

[@YouGoPro]

🥶 stay warm! I’ve got a ton of younger content coming (selfishly 🤣) stay tuned!

[@jwclark12]

When did you all come to Sarasota? Good ole Ball and Shoe sports center.

[@royn8032]

Great video guys! There is a local high school by us that my son wants to go to and play for their team. We found out the coach has a separate travel team that he runs. Would that be the best option for my son? He does not want to play professionally but just for high school.

[@ewash532]

What team were u both on? Thanks great video

[@CoolIHandIMatt]

Padres

[@YouGoPro]

We were both drafted by the Padres and played together in Ft. Wayne Indiana & Lake Elsinore California. We also spent a few spring trainings together.

[@utopiabaseball6756]

Great information! Background music was a bit loud and distracting, makes it difficult to hear what Matt Antonelli was saying.

[@JEFE310]

Hey guys thanks for the confirmation on player development. My son plays for driveline and their youth program is in the beginning stages, but they are more focused on development than winning games. What would you recommend if the players aren't able to translate their developmental gains to wins? Do keep them there or find another program?

[@YouGoPro]

I think every situation is different. I’d probably have a chat with my son if he was old enough to understand. There’s a lot that makes a good team like good parents, good coaches, distance from home, schedule, etc. A lot of moving pieces besides just wins/loses and development. Hard to say without knowing your exact situation.

[@UltramanATL]

Need help guys. Is it better to join a very competitive team but your son's role would be Pitcher Only or join a C team where your son gets to bat, field, and pitch on a less competitive team? My son will be playing 14U.

[@csisson4nu]

Make sure daddy's aren't coaching the team! Daddy Ball

[@YouGoPro]

We need Dads to volunteer coach at the youth level. But I agree at the high school level it’s good to have a paid professional.

[@StephenHosler]

Dad coaches kid should be one of the best on the team but not treated as so.

[@PCRAGE]

Where did you get that sweet green flat bat?

[@YouGoPro]

Which one?

[@PCRAGE]

@@YouGoPro The green one in this video. It looks like one of those bats you hit with the edge.

[@YouGoPro]

@@PCRAGE oh no it’s just a Fungo

[@hightowerjared]

hey if you guys send me the audio files... i can make them stereo sounding.

[@chriswhite1174]

Most travel ball here in Arkansas is parents that pay for their kids to play with bot much talent..

[@mjuberian]

Did either of these guys make the major leagues?

[@yancyscott9295]

Do yall recommend NCSA?

[@YouGoPro]

I’d like to ask someone who deals more with this type of thing on camera. I’ll keep this in my back pocket. Thanks for the great idea.

[@tw7554]

Waste of money. You don't need any recruiting services to help your son play at the next level. #1 focus on helping your son be the absolute best player he can be #2 when he is ready, make sure someone that the college coach trusts watches him play.

[@yancyscott9295]

@Troy Wilson thanks for the reply!

[@tw7554]

@@pk1237 I do not have experience with high academic schools, so you could be right for that exception. Thank you for pointing that out, I would never want to give bad advice to any family. Congratulations to your son and your family for his college commitment! For high level, mid-level Div I, and low level JUCO, I do have experience though, and from what we experienced, recruiting services had nothing to do with it, or any other player on their roster. I do not have any experience with DCAT either, so I don't know their results. This topic would be a HUGE area to put on camera for parents to understand when they are needed, if at all. Everyone is constantly hit up with their emails, etc. I just don't want parents to believe every email/phone call promise that they can get their son a scholarship (for just $xxx, a month) just for signing up for their service. Again, thanks for pointing out a possible exception to my earlier comment. I hope more parents get involved socially to help others.

[@MH-Tesla]

Background music is distracting... just my opinion.

[@YouGoPro]

I just realized it’s a little loud. Thanks for letting me know.

[@mike_dc3359]

Is there anyway to increase Matt’s volume

[@YouGoPro]

Yes, next video will be better

[@allenmcdonough2482]

Volume issue's

[@mrgrimm]

My ask would be get better mics, even on max volume youre not loud. Sorry

[@YouGoPro]

Mics are good. I think it happened in editing. Will get it fixed next video

[@steadykastyn2073]

But today it's all about the money there's so many tournaments, different teams and alot of teams are backed by former MLB players. So the average kid that is very athletic that has a lot of good skill, respectful and works really hard he has no chance in getting in the MLB. It's all about who you know not what you know.

[@steadykastyn2073]

Kids that are any kind of kin to to the organization they get the extra

[@stevendriver1399]

Are you saying a 1000 KZbin Videos won't help me? --Uncle Rico

[@ablank6888]

If I had a monkey I wouldn’t let him learn from Jeff Frye.

[@MrFredy428]

100% agree Jeff is making a bad name for himself. I don’t like he bashes other coaches. He needs to stick to what he knows and forget what every else is doing.

[@blaike6661]

Someone should dial this awful music down in the mix. Struggling to hear the conversation.

[@YouGoPro]

Next video will be better thanks

[@charliegodinez9655]

Matt you’re looking too skinny
