Looking for baseball recruiting assistance? Visit Alex's website for more information: www.premierathletes.co
Have you ever wondered what it takes to stand out as a top recruit for college baseball? It’s not just about your skills on the field-how you market yourself and navigate the recruiting process can make all the difference.
In this week’s video and podcast, I dive deep into the strategies that can elevate your recruiting game. I’ve seen too many players hold back, unsure about how to promote themselves without coming across the wrong way. Trust me-college coaches want to know about you, but if you’re not proactive, they might never get the chance.
Here’s a sneak peek of what we cover:
Why self-promotion is key: Don’t shy away from showcasing your best qualities.
Targeting the right schools: How to identify programs that match your athletic abilities and schools recruiting your position.
Building your digital resume: What to include in your highlight videos to catch a coach’s eye.
And that’s just the beginning! For the full breakdown, including insider tips on communication, academic standards, and more, be sure to check out the full episode on UA-cam or listen to the podcast.
I’m here to help you and your athlete navigate this process, so don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or thoughts after you’ve watched or listened.
Let’s get you noticed by the right schools!

    Coach...if you narrow it down to your history, D1, the portal has DESTROYED high school baseball player recruiting. Bummer that it took you 2:40 to speak the truth. I also beg to differ on the 7-10. What coaches are doing is bringing players in "for look", only to tell them to leave after one semester.

    In year's past, I might have agreed with this. But now with the transfer portal, schools at all levels are spending their summers trying to recruit guys out of the transfer portal and then turning their focus to the high school kids in the Fall. Kids now would actually be better off playing in some type of "free" baseball league like American Legion or Babe Ruth in the Summer and saving their money to play travel baseball in the Fall. I can say from my experience that Fall Travel baseball in 2023 and 2024 has been / will be 100% worth it.

    • @RecruitingwithAlex
      @RecruitingwithAlex Місяць тому

      Appreciate your perspective but the problem remains the same which is you only have a few weeks to get in front of coaches and even then you are just hoping someone sees you (bad strategy). You can’t predict who will be there. Certain camps and showcases are not good but if the school are in need of your position and the right coaches are at the showcases it’s way better getting exposure that way than maybe being seen at a tournament by some school you don’t know about.

    • @ValleyBaseballScout
      @ValleyBaseballScout Місяць тому

      @@RecruitingwithAlex Everything you mentioned could be the case in either the Summer or Fall. With everything else being equal, college coaches are going to be more focused on high school players in the Fall than the Summer. I know this beyond a shadow of a doubt. College coaches spent a lot of their resources this summer recruiting transfer portal players out of collegiate summer leagues. I witnessed this first hand.

      @@ValleyBaseballScout Yeah exactly, summer and fall travel ball are overrated for that reason because again for a player you are just winging it you have no idea who is out there if anyone. I talk to coaches every week that can't be everywhere and see everyone that is why camps and showcases are important. To many players and parents are spending thousands and thousands of dollars just hoping to be seen when no one shows up. There is a better way to go about it than some travel team or summer team.

    That definitely makes a lot of sense. I have found that most of these camps at colleges are just clinics, they list them as “prospect camps” but they are really only clinic type things. Do you have a video on how to find good quality showcases at colleges or third party ones? Thank you!
