PARENTS: Your 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 year old does not need facilities. The need you in the yard, garage, & basement throwing, catching, hitting and talking ball daily. Even if you know nothing.

Ethan Carswell (26 KS) with a couple loud contacts. Good eye-hand and can hit to all fields. This an 88EV liner.

Good looking swing here from Ethan Carswell (‘26, Overland Park, KS), as he rips a 2B down the RF line. Advanced swing and approach for his age, has certainly not been outmatched by older competition. Intriguing young bat to follow

Slows things down and really tracks well at the plate. Solid base with balance. Bat-to-ball skills.

Players were once recruited by watching them play baseball games because college programs play games. Now a days players are recruited from showcase numbers. So coaches have little idea what type of player they are when they get to school.
