I recently posted an article about what college coaches are looking for when scouting high school prospects. Since then, I’ve received several questions from players and parents about how the MLB scouting process works. Better than hearing it from me, I called a buddy of mine who is an established scout for a…

I was reading this ESPN article about the the percentage of African-Americans in the big leagues having dropped more than half, from 19 percent to 8.5. You can read the whole article yourself if you want, but here are a few other issues that stood out to me:

I coach a 9U travel team. My questions is this should a player be able to play both pitcher and catcher in the same weekend? My concern here is injury short term and long term as well as what is best for the team. I have no shortage at either position but the players would like to do both. At this point I have said no due to injury from overthrowing as well as overall fatigue as I expect alot out of both positions. I believe if both positions are played correctly they should be tired. …

Teammates are to be treasured…you will remember them forever.
I have been playing shortstop for some 40 plus years now and I can recall second basemen, and third baseman from way back to my Little League and Pony Leagues days. My high school infield is as clear to me as if we were taking an in/out right now. And the guys I play with today in my men’s league are some of the finest people I know. Teammates are a treasured memory that will stay with me for my whole life. The…
