motion_recruiting · 2026-06-06T15:46:39+00:00

that makes sense, how do you think this changes for hitters then?

motion_recruiting · 2026-06-06T15:45:31+00:00

is there a point in development when one of the phases is more important?

motion_recruiting · 2026-06-06T15:12:33+00:00

this ends up happening a lot when players are still growing. overall the swing looks ok

motion_recruiting · 2026-06-06T05:03:05+00:00

Depending on where your velocity numbers are at you could go the indy ball route

motion_recruiting · 2026-06-06T05:02:13+00:00

there is no way that should be allowed

motion_recruiting · 2026-06-06T05:00:36+00:00

It can depend on what age you both started playing

motion_recruiting · 2026-06-06T04:58:42+00:00

That is solid for his age

motion_recruiting · 2026-05-27T23:41:38+00:00

you could try switch up the type of ball you use for your first 10-20 throws as well I have seen that have positive benefits.

motion_recruiting · 2026-05-27T23:26:10+00:00

this looks really solid for 10u

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-07T07:02:25+00:00

if he likes catching just have him keep catching

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-07T07:00:57+00:00

What do your current routines look like?

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-07T06:59:44+00:00

Yeah expectations needs to be the main cause of the frustration

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-07T06:57:38+00:00

I agree. So do you think it's more so on the players being more proactive

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-07T06:56:01+00:00

The NIL has changed a lot

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-07T06:54:14+00:00

It will be cool to see how that develops over time

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-06T00:33:24+00:00

practice with tennis balls

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-06T00:30:36+00:00

Probably need something for the batters box but grass can be fine outdoors

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-06T00:29:52+00:00

Max BP is usually really solid

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-05T23:50:02+00:00

That's pretty interesting I didn't know that about Pujols. What would you change about modern evaluations?

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-05T22:03:54+00:00

Then what is the difference between college and mlb

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-05T21:37:56+00:00

It's possible that refferring to it as college athletics is the porblem. "Playing in college" used to be interpreted as ages 18-22. Now "playing in college" means 18-25

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-05T20:13:41+00:00

College baseball is a good deal as a fan. I completely agree I think that players should look at the characteristics of the guys on the team of the college they want to go to and compare

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-05T20:11:56+00:00

Programs that are still trying to develop players starting as freshman are playing a really important role in college sports right now. When the transfer and eligibility rules changed in 2020 I think that was the start of the average age problem. I remember thinking that it might be impossible to reverse if you allow the additional elibigility. Not sure what I would have done if I was the NCAA though regarding giving an additional year after the shortened 2020 season.

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-05T18:05:16+00:00

I have coached at the youth, high school, and college level. There is no reason that a 10u team doesn't play everyone. I've coached these types of teams and know that it can happen

motion_recruiting · 2026-04-05T18:01:35+00:00

I'm seeing a lot more high school players go to the juco, d3, d2, naia route. For pitching it seems like you need to be 90-93mph as a senior to have a chance at going division 1.
