I got some nerdy shit to say but everybody in the player development travel baseball world will understand. Parents, the player development is in the boring. There are a lot of coaches out there that are probably scared to do the appropriate things to develop your child because in practice it’s boring. Cuts and relays are boring. Bunt defense is boring. First and third defense is boring. Base running is boring however, if you ask college coaches, they will tell you physicality and metrics are at an all-time high while baseball IQ and getting simple jobs done is at an all-time low. I truly believe this is because people are worried players will leave their program. If the things they do are not flashy they think parents will complain and kids will check out which actually happens but let them. There are 16 u first baseman out there every summer that have to be reminded to hold a runner on first base. There are third base out there every summer that need to be reminded that they are the cut off man on a single to left field to home plate. Starting pitchers do not know how to hold runners or have multiple pickoff moves. Hitters do not know their approach should be based on the outs the inning the score and the base runners so they go up there blindly without any objective in the world. Ideally, you wanna find a program that can teach your child how to play baseball while also developing their strength and improving their important data points. I’ve seen it firsthand when teaching players that continuously forget easy responsibilities on the field. They check out when you talk about the things they consider boring. Explain to them that you are relaying messages that you were getting from coaches at the college level and hold steady in teaching the kids the things that will help them be able to get themselves relied upon at the next level.
