In this episode of Help Me Help You I unravel the intricate world of amateur baseball. As the college baseball season kicks into gear and high school diamonds prepare to shine, I’ll explore how these platforms provide aspiring athletes with a pathway to showcase their skills and potentially land a spot in the MLB draft. Join me as I take you on a journey through my own eyes, as a former player who experienced the whirlwind of the draft firsthand. I’ll share personal anecdotes and insights, shedding light on the realities of pursuing a career in professional baseball straight out of high school. But my journey doesn’t stop there. As a baseball agent, I delve into the strategies behind identifying and assessing prospects, from attending college games to building relationships with coaches and leveraging data analytics. Along the way I uncover the importance of production over potential and the invaluable wisdom hidden within the stands.
