🚨 Career Update 🚨

I am fired up to work directly with players and families to educate, navigate and dominate the college baseball recruiting process.

The Division 1 baseball recruiting period ended yesterday. There will not be D1 coaches at any of your games, showcases, practices, etc. until March 1st of next year. The only exception is if you attend a camp at an individual school.

In 2014 I was an uncommitted senior with minimal D1 interest. Dave Nakama (head coach at San Jose State at the time) came out to watch me play. I went 0-fer and played a sloppy 3B. My worst game of the season, and I knew that any opportunity at

Guy shoves it for 7 innings against the

ranked team in the country, gets a routine fly ball for the last out to secure an upset win, and instead of pounding his chest he is looking to fill a gap on the field by rotating up to backup second base.
This is what greatness looks
Saint Mary's notches a huge upset win as it takes down Florida 9-7. Brian Duroff went 3-5 with 2 HRs and 3 RBIs, Nathan Chong went 2-3 with a HR and 2 RBIs, and Coleman Schmidt went 2-5 with a HR.
Connor Linchey was outstanding in relief, allowing 3 ER on 5 hits across 7 IP.

Sometimes it’s the bottom of the 9th inning in a Saturday intrasquad and you get to cleat up and get after hitters.

Baseball is in an era of change.
- Data/Metrics
- Regulation (pitch clock, etc.)
- On-field emotion
But even in an era of change, one thing holds true:
Tough, competitive & accountable players will find a way to separate from the pack and win. This is true in any industry.

One of the worst things you can do as an uncommitted player, or parent of one, is to play “coach” and over-analyze why other players are committed but you’re not.
“Johnny is committed to ___ school, but he hit .250 last season and I hit .340”.
Here are six reasons why this

College recruiters or pro scouts in attendance at your game?
Go out and play your game, not the version of your game that you think they want to see.
You can’t fake the funk. Whatever it is you do well as a player, just go out and do that at a high level.

If you spend 3+ years as a pro-caliber college pitcher or catcher and are incapable of calling your own game in pro ball, you probably shouldn’t be in pro ball.
90+ % of college programs give pitchers veto power to shake pitch calls.
A college coach calling pitches is no
Ban all college coaches calling pitches. You’re ruining baseball, and are super low testosterone for that.
These are the same catchers and pitchers that come to MiLB lost, with no idea how to call a game because you babied them.
Grow up. You aren’t on the field- they are.
