I came across a video of a college baseball coach in Texas talking about their recruiting process. He broke down their numbers: 300 players on their initial list. 60–70 phone calls. 35 offers. 26 visits. 10–12 players signed. But what really caught my attention was something else he said. He’s LOOKING for reasons to cross players off that list. The quicker a player shows he’s not a fit, the easier his job becomes. Think about that. The next time you’re playing your third game of the day, it’s 95 degrees, you’re exhausted, and you hit a routine ground ball to shortstop… Run your ass down the line. You never know who’s watching. And you have no idea how quickly you can go from being ON a coach’s list to OFF it.
