Having spent the last 10 years in D1 baseball, with the past 7 years as a recruiting coordinator, I have current insights and connections across the country. If you’re interested in having me in your corner during the recruiting process, let’s have a conversation. Here is how to connect: - DM me - Email: JonKarcich@gmail.com - Book a call, Let's plan and attack this process together 👊🏼

Got to watch some California JC ball today. There are some really good athletes and uncommitted players out there. Keep grinding! @csmbaseball @CanadaColtsBSB @SRJCbaseball @FRC_Baseball

@jkahn_5 @im_jaxong @slccbaseball @FiveToolJUCO Talented arm! And How about the play by the SS!

“At the very least, you can go in so many directions once baseball is done.” When people say it’s a 40-year decision, this is why. Education should be a key part of your decision-making process. I know—not every player can get into an @IvyLeague school, and that’s okay. There are plenty of great academic options out there. The key is finding the right one for you! 🎥 30-second clip 👇

I spoke with Columbia Recruiting Coordinator David Vandercook about all things baseball ⚾️ & academics 📚. They won the @IvyLeague title last year! Here are two of my favorite clips: @vanderBook @CULionsBaseball

SS- Kyler Bittner – SO – Cañada JC Athletic, smooth-moving shortstop w/ the tools to stick there. A D1 plug-and-play SS. 6.7 runner with 30 SB last season. High-OBP player w/ emerging pop. 5’11”, 180 lbs | 3.1 GPA @kylerbittner @CanadaColtsBSB #Uncommitted #JKAthlete

⚾️ Baseball tryouts and season are coming up, with lineups posted in the coming weeks. Stop trying to guess what the coach will do—you’ll drive yourself crazy! Just go out there and be yourself. If you're good enough and the coach thinks it’s best for the team, you’ll make it. If not, play where the coach says. Remember, Michael Jordan got cut from varsity his sophomore year! Just keep getting better! #Baseball #Develop

RT @DigsPitcher: I've done my best to note every NorCal ⚾️ player with a college commitment, but I'm sure I missed a few along the way. Her…

RT @JonKarcich: Had a great convo with a coach about a player who struggles to listen. Here was my feedback: ⚾️Keep adjusting your messa…

@treyyjohnson2 @SkylineTrojanBB @AntGranato @JoeyGomes21 @djmarkymark24 Get some!

How we think now is how we’ll think later… and eventually, who we’ll become. 🧠🤯 • If you stay even-keeled, you’ll remain that way • If you constantly look for excuses, you’ll always find them Control your response to everything. Be prepared for anything. #Mindset #Prepare

Baseball players, coaches, and parents: Here’s my 20-second advice for players at every level this season: In short, “Just get better every single pitch.”

@Bensmetbaseball I'd say that's something. Cool to see the transformation. Good luck!

@Bensmetbaseball Good work! Anything with your diet?

⚾️ No player or parent needs to panic 😡 after the first weekend of the season! It’s a long season—don’t get caught up in the emotions of results you can’t control. Focus your energy on preparation and approach. Keep it simple, don't ride the wave🌊

@Tpack5 Good drill to get extra reps!

😤Short Term Pain = Long Term Gain 📈 Here are some examples of this: Grinding through the tough weight work out. Challenging self on a hitting drill. Saying no to the crappy food. Saying no to the party. Making a tough phone call. Extra reps in conditioning.

The choice is always up to us! The subject of this is, “the grass only looks greener.” Thanks for the daily email, Steve Gilbert.
