    Being a Major League Baseball scout the past 35 years, I’ve narrowed down three important characteristics when considering a prospect to draft. Not perfection!..but consistency. 1) Character: Determines who you are and how people trust you when nobody is watching. 2)

    For all HS & College baseball prospects. This is spot on from Reds 1B Joey Votto. Couldn’t be more correct. If you cannot time up FB velo @ the higher levels in this game your baseball career won’t last long. As the ole saying goes “The key to hitting a cb-is not to miss the fb.”

    As a parent, you must prepare your child for the road—not the road for the child. Rains will fall. Winds will blow. Floods will happen. Prepare your child for life’s difficult roads.

    As an MLB scout since the fall of 1991. It is more challenging and difficult today to find baseball players who are Winners. Elite Competitors. High Character Teammates. Leaders. Players that know ‘how’ to play the game and who are not afraid of failure. Be the change!

    Pro baseball scouts are not looking for “perfection,” however we are looking for consistent “progress.” The game is based on failures. You will fail—so fail forward! • Pitch to Kill not to Wound! • Play the game fearlessly, aggressively, passionately and under control!

    We have one chance on this earth to leverage the influence God gives us. Adam Wainwright is making an impact with his life that will long out live him. Well done, Adam!

    “In April 14, 2010, I showed up at the clubhouse with a Bible sitting on my chair in my locker. Changed my life. It’s the Bible I read out of today.” Beautiful story from former Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter on Adam Wainwright.
