    High School Baseball reveals who you really are as a player. It costs $0 to play and you are owed nothing. It doesn’t matter what your name is, your travel team, your showcase stats, or where you’re committed to. The best players play! HS coaches want to win—plain and simple!

    Dear HS Players, If your PBR/PG scouting report includes lines like.. "shows ability to barrel the ball with a mostly pull side approach"... that's a nice way of saying you have no pop, a bad approach, and roll over a lot. Stop tagging D1s Stop reposting Work on your swing

    Big shoutout to Chris Sale for winning the NL Cy Young award! I’d also like to thank Chris, as I now appear slightly cooler to my kids for hitting that home run off him 12 years ago. Experts argue this moment was the turning point in his career.

    Other than facing a live pitcher, the hack attack is the most realistic way to get game feel. You’ll find out real quick if your swing will play vs. good arms. Always amazed to see how quiet and compact the load/swing gets for hitters compared to 20Mph front toss.
