Travel ball should only be a 3 Tier system that starts at 7th Grade.
Elite
Major
Minor.
Teams have to register under a certain tier. If you dominate one level you move up. Have a state tournament for each tier, then a regional, tournament, and finish with a “World Series” .

Capps Burkes (‘29 AL) with 2 hits in this game including this one he shoots up the middle for a base hit single; gets some strong rotation in the lower half keeping a level barrel thru the zone. #WWBA @PG_DeepSouth

I'm glad Jordan Walker said this.
Growing up, I can't tell you how many times I heard:
"Baseball is boring."
"Go play football."
I was even called an "Oreo" because I chose baseball.
There was definitely pressure to play the sports everyone else was playing.
Baseball changed my life!
That's why seeing players like Jordan Walker embrace being role models matters. The more kids who see someone who looks like them thriving in baseball, the more they'll realize it's a path that's open to them too.
I hope more kids feel free to choose the game they love...not just the one everyone expects them to play.

If a program's pitching staff sits 88 to 94 and your son throws 79 as a rising senior, that program is not on his list. I know that is not what anyone wants from me, but I have watched families spend two years and five figures courting schools that would never call while the schools that wanted him badly went ignored. Being wanted somewhere real beats being invisible somewhere famous. Every time.

I worked with a D1 player and a D3 player this morning.
On paper...
They looked almost identical.
6'4 200 pounds...
Both had elite bat speed. Both had power. Both were physically gifted.
But there was one difference.
Every time the D3 player mishit a ball...
He complained.
He got frustrated.
He pouted.
Then he'd struggle for the next 3 or 4 swings.
Pop-up.
Ground ball.
Weak contact.
The D1 player?
He'd mishit one.
Make an adjustment
...And move on.
No emotion.
No drama.
Just the next pitch.
It reminded me of something I learned playing professional baseball...
Sometimes the biggest difference between two players isn't their talent.
It's the conversation they're having with themselves in their head after they fail.
Your bat speed matters.
Your swing matters.
But the operating system between your ears matters just as much.
The best hitters I've been around don't waste energy explaining why they failed.
They spend their energy figuring out what to do on the next pitch.
- Jermaine Curtis
P.S. The next time you mishit a ball, don't ask, "What's wrong with me?"
Ask, "What's my adjustment?"
P.P.S. - If you enjoyed this, and thought it was helpful, share it.

Pet Peeve: Hitter takes Strike 1.

Instead: Nods head yes to umpires strike call.

Everybody tries to fix their direction by training and feeling their bat path.
Makes sense. The barrel and hands the part you can feel the most.
But your path is mostly just following where your body already sent the energy.
Posture leaks a little, the energy comes away from the ball, and the barrel goes right along with it.
So when you’re pulling off, it usually started before your swing even starts.
It started with your posture and where your body was working.
Hands, path, posture, energy. They all work together.
Clean up the stride, body energy and posture and the barrel falls in line on its own. Typically.
The drill in the video is how you train that. Volume up so you catch the cue.

Carter Gilley (‘28 AL) connects with this ball sending it on a line into RF; keeps the barrel on a smooth path through the zone with good extension. @PG_Uncommitted #WWBA @PG_DeepSouth

This would push an insane amount of talent towards college baseball
Jeff Passan@JeffPassan
MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.
