Good video.. Important to also keep in mind the ability aspect and academics. You could do all the things you mentioned in the video but if you're say a pitcher throwing 77-83 with decent command, it's going to be really really hard to play DI ball... and if you don't have AT LEAST a 3.0 gpa / 80 average in high school... forget it.. But that being said, don't fall into all the hype on D1 schools. There are plenty of great D2, D3 and JUCO schools that would sweep mediocre D1 schools in a series anytime. Play where you can get playing time and will develop as a player.. a bunch of mlb players who went to college didn't play at the D1 level
first round pick for the Cubs Brendon Little went to North Carolina for a year and transferred to a JuCo. So you're exactly right, it's not where you play it's where you get playing time and make yourself a better player
Love this. My biggest challenge as a coach is communicating this exact message. I've come to realize it's mostly young ignorance of not really understanding what it takes to play at the D1 and/or pro levels. As much as I try, I can teach my players the skills, but I can't give them the make up.
Great advice. I know a kid who got cut from his high school team when he throws 90. His attitude was so poor the coaches didn't care about his speed at all.
My dad always said, “you never know who is watching”. You always hustle and give 100% every time you step in between the lines. My three brothers and l got college baseball scholarships for a reason. We put in the work and my Dad would find us the exposure.
Have never been truer words spoken! My son now a sophomore at New Paltz University. He is only 5'3" but the 3 schools that wanted him couldn't stop talking about his work ethic. Busted his but for play. Never brought a bad at bat on the field with him and always picked up his teammates. Nothing like a great attitude and work ethic to get coach's attention . Great vids BTW -Joe
Had to comment and give props. Having been through the travel ball world myself I can say you won't get this much honesty from anyone else. Especially from coaches which just want to take your money and fill a roster spot most of the time. Kids listen good, use baseball as a means to get an education, any education. Don't let baseball use you, and walk away with nothing to show for it. You have statistically better odds of being in a plane crash or terrorist attack than making any substantial living in baseball. I know I know,. You'll be the exception to the rule and I sincerely hope you do. But you almost certainly will not, as sure as death and taxes, be a mlb player.
Well said....I played in a D1 school in Florida in the late 90's early 2000's.....what you are saying is 100% true. My freshman year 1998 we had over 50 guys on the team. Only 25 dressed. Even if you are a stud at that level you have to do the small things right and be a good teammate or you'll be a guy checking the travel list every week. Great advice.
it sounds cliche but high school goes by so fast, baseball and whatever other sports are games so work hard to make a name for yourself but have fun with your friends
Ian McManus me too. I'm good but no where near the best in the state let alone the nation. However, I make very good grades and love the game to death. I'm going to one of the best baseball high schools in the nation and I'm going to work my ass off to get my ability up there too. My goal is to play at Notre Dame and eventually go on to the MLB, and God-willing, have a great career. Best of luck to you.
Moved from NJ to Texas three years ago not to play but to coach, and I instantly saw the difference in talents. Guys up north have to work twice as hard than guys in the south. They are out here grinding every day. Also when it comes to guys wanting to play college ball, first thing they have to be is realistic with themselves. How do you compare with the guys committing to D1 or guys playing at that level? That's something most don't do.
As I rewatched this video, there are several other questions that need to be considered: 1) The decision whether to sign a contract with a major league team or play college baseball. I have had a couple of friends sign immediately after high school (and be wise enough to ask for college money at a later date. 2) Do you really want to WORK TWO FULL-TIME JOBS in college (baseball and school)? When I worked trying to keep Div I athletes eligible, some of the schedules were pretty horrendous, especially during the season. 3) How will playing baseball affect my future career aspirations? For example, playing intercollegiate sports will put you a year or two behind if you plan on attending medical school as fitting in labs during the season are pretty difficult. Also, you will not have the experience in the medical field that is expected for medical school applicants. 4) While I like Division III Sports, you do need to remember that MANY of the schools at that level use sports as a means of recruiting applicants to the school.. It costs them almost nothing to keep a large roster around and you are generally paying serious $$$s to attend some of the smaller private college.
awesome video! i totally agree with everything you say. would love it if you made another video similar to this but on what you can do physically do to set you apart.
Bingo! We'll said. If you're worried about looking cool vs playing well dont worry about playing college BB. You need to eat breathe and sleep baseball to have a chance at a D I school. Baseball cant be a maybe i will work on it today thing for you. I played D I and minors for ATL for 2 years. I still have dreams about baseball more than i do anything else. Driven is a word that comes to mind as well. If you need someone to motivate you...dont bother. Self motivated, positive attitude and a hunger to learn is a good start.
Hey Matt can you do a Jose Bautista swing mechanics. And if you have the time a good baseball workout thanks I love the channel and I appreciate the tips your giving me thanks man
You should have also mentioned two other factors: 1) Off-field conduct. Most coaches don't want to see a police record as those maturity issues only get worse in college. 2) Academic eligibility - What good are you to any coach if you cannot get admitted to the university or maintain eligibility at the college level?
I know this is off topic of this video, I'm a huge baseball fan I even watch off season stuff every day but my question is what is the "magic" word to get a player thrown that umpires don't like? I've been wondering this for years
I'm a freshman, and by no means am I the best player on my team, but I'm probably top 2 or 3. I've played since I was 6, and I hope to play college ball, but I can't seem to stay consistent or find a position I like playing, while also being good at it. I'm a tallish, athletically built player. I've played everywhere besides catcher. I know 3rd is probably where I'd play more, but I just don't like playing it because I'm not good at it. I love playing first, second, and pitching but I'm not very consistent. I'm right handed and I bat left handed (I'm working on switching sides because I have much more power from the right) can you make a video on how to stay consistent please? Thanks. Keep up the good work.
I play baseball almost year round. How should i approach College coaches and colleges about playing baseball for them? And how do i get a scholarship? I have a great attitude, and am one of the best catchers in the state of South Carolina and batted 758 this year.
I know I’m late and I doubt you’ll respond to this, but I got really screwed over with my high school baseball experience. At my school, since it’s small, they allow eighth graders to play for the jv team. My eighth grade year I played and I was our go to pitcher, but my coach hated me so I never got to bat or play any other position. Meh whatever at least I got to pitch. Freshman year I didn’t play at all even though I thought I had potential. Sophomore year was the beginning of covid and there was no season. And no season again this year for my junior year. I have no idea what I need in order to get out there. I mainly pitch but I think I’m a decent hitter too. I throw low 80s fastballs and have great off speed stuff. Are college showcases a good way to go? And what does my future after college look like if I go to a d2 or d3 school?
Kris Lam I don't play baseball but I'm looking to get into it. I'm a freshman in high school, I would just say, work your ass off, do all the chances you can, and work non stop. What are you in? A lot of people say baseball can't be picked up but we'll see
I don't think so. I've seen players start playing baseball late and make it professionally. It's probably tougher to do so, but possible. Thanks for watching!!
Yes! Preach brother! You have to be the best player in all phases. Attitude included. Oh and guys these days have to stop millennial mind set! I don't want anyone who is like that!
Matt, I want to play college baseball, football, hell let's go for hockey even though I can't skate. Can you help make me 30 years younger so I can be 19 again? Jk I am one of those that sports taught me that I need to hit the books. I learned in early HS that my chances of making it in athletics were extremely slim. Reminds me of Dumb and Dumber in the one in a million scene, "so you're saying there's a chance?"
Miky Cal_33. Matt, he is what your channel is really all about. You should be proud to be such a great role model to the youngsters out there who love baseball. and it goes to more than just baseball... Way to go buddy, keep up the great work. Oh, and this was a great message. Outstanding, brutally honest and true.
Why do mlb players jog to first on grounders? I know it’s a 99% chance of getting out but the videos of college scouts say hustling and mental toughness is most important. Kind of confusing for kids.
What if you are the opposite? I'd think I'm a rather good person I don't spike my helmet I always hustle and like a 3rd best on the team, but I look around and see all these players and realize most of those people are working the same as me and I don't feel like I have a chance
Tough school. Lots of work. We all called it “Work Forest”. Lots of very smart kids there. I wasn’t one of them lol. I had to work really hard to get good grades
I have a weird question I have never played on a baseball team but I am a really good picher I can throw 85ish and have 4 different piches is there a possibility to play for any college base ball team I just want to be seen because I know that I have the ability to be a really good player and someone that can contributes to a team as bullpen or starter
If you really throw 85 with 4 pitches you could play at a lot of colleges lol. Put it on video with a radar gun and send it to all the schools you want to go to. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Depends on average. Average high school player may be tough. Tough to say though without seeing the player. Thank you for watching our stuff and commenting!
If i am not a great player and not in a great program but can feel I have potential and am 100 percent willing to work for it what are the stepping stones to become the best I can be? Serious question, am 15 years old
If you're a lefty and can throw in the 90s there is no doubt you'll get a shot in indy ball. Harold is right about the control, command, etc. but that can be achieved easier than high velocity. In other words they can teach you that stuff/ help you improve that stuff.
Thanks guys for the feedback i really wanna play at least to that level or even minor league my fastball still has the tailing/running movement that would miss bats
Biggest thing you have to do besides all of this is market the shit out of yourself. Get to every tryout, workout, and anything and everything that will get you exposure. Write to these college coaches. Show up at a game. Who cares? No one else wants you to make it as badly as you do, so therefore no one is going to push as hard for you. Do it yourself because truth be told, you could do all these things but if no one’s there to see it, it doesn’t matter. Pitchers can all throw 95-+ and hitters can all hit it. The game has evolved to a ridiculous level, therefore you gotta do a lot extra to separate yourself from the pack. Sincerely, Nobody special
I’m a freshman baseball player I start and shortstop and I have always been which made grind a lot and i have baseball practice after school for the school and then my own practice everyday and my dream is to play d1 baseball. What is the best way to get looked at? Showcase tournaments?
Hello sir my name is Jordan Newman and just had a quick question for you. I played baseball for 14 years growing up and played 2nd Base in Yale, OK for high school ball. After high school I joined the army but never stopped loving the game. My question is how would I go about getting back into baseball and playing for a college team? I'm 21 almost 22 and have been out of high school for 4 years. Do you have any pointer's on where I should start?
Good video.. Important to also keep in mind the ability aspect and academics. You could do all the things you mentioned in the video but if you're say a pitcher throwing 77-83 with decent command, it's going to be really really hard to play DI ball... and if you don't have AT LEAST a 3.0 gpa / 80 average in high school... forget it..

first round pick for the Cubs Brendon Little went to North Carolina for a year and transferred to a JuCo. So you're exactly right, it's not where you play it's where you get playing time and make yourself a better player
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!!
Speaking straight facts, my D1 dream actually ended in football out here in Cali I played a lot of D1 guys and reality hit me of what it really takes
Thanks!!! Good luck!
Love this. My biggest challenge as a coach is communicating this exact message. I've come to realize it's mostly young ignorance of not really understanding what it takes to play at the D1 and/or pro levels. As much as I try, I can teach my players the skills, but I can't give them the make up.
Thanks!!! For sure!! Thanks for watching!!
Real eye opener, wish I could have seen this earlier
Great advice. I know a kid who got cut from his high school team when he throws 90. His attitude was so poor the coaches didn't care about his speed at all.
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!!
My dad always said, “you never know who is watching”. You always hustle and give 100% every time you step in between the lines. My three brothers and l got college baseball scholarships for a reason. We put in the work and my Dad would find us the exposure.

First base tips in fielding and drills for scooping
I have a video on it if you go to our defensive playlist. Thanks for watching!!
I've heard the exact thing from scouts when I play for big travel teams and I hope to play in college and my dream is to make it to the mlb.
Good luck!!! Thanks for watching!!

I think more coaches in all youth/high school sports need to send this message. Great video!
Thanks for watching!!
Great video. Could not agree more and hope the younger players are listening to you. Coaches and scouts want to see you hustle and respect the game.
Thanks!!! I appreciate that!
Well said....I played in a D1 school in Florida in the late 90's early 2000's.....what you are saying is 100% true. My freshman year 1998 we had over 50 guys on the team. Only 25 dressed.

For sure! And thanks!!! Thanks for watching!!
thanks a lot I'm going to be a freshman this fall I still got a ways to go
Ian McManus enjoy it, that's the most important
Ian McManus I just finished my freshman year, just make sure not to do anything stupid off the field because two guys got cut during the year for that
it sounds cliche but high school goes by so fast, baseball and whatever other sports are games so work hard to make a name for yourself but have fun with your friends
thanks a lot I just wanna enjoy myself
Ian McManus me too. I'm good but no where near the best in the state let alone the nation. However, I make very good grades and love the game to death.

Thank u so much I'm only 11 and I watch all of ur videos and hopefully I can be like u some day🙏🏻⚾️
Showing this to my 8 year old. It's great advice even for his level. If you want a chance in the future, start doing this young.
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!!

Great Advice...............I wish football would follow these rules of conduct.
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!!
Matt, this great and sobering reality is applicable to just about any pursuit in life. Great talk!
Awesome video! I wish everyone in my local Little League could see this. Players and Parents.

Long toss work with me the best. Each time you go out throw the ball like your trying to throw it over the outfield fence
Tyler May throwing program
Great video

Great advice, thank you. What about D2 vs Juco?
Half my team in high school acted this way. So many guys like this
Yeah unfortunately that's the truth! Thanks for watching and commenting!
You are the ultimate coach... any player is very lucky to have you as a coach. Good luck with your season
I play baseball almost year round. How should i approach College coaches and colleges about playing baseball for them?
And how do i get a scholarship? I have a great attitude, and am one of the best catchers in the state of South Carolina and batted 758 this year.
Send them a recruiting video and try to get on a team that gets in front of them. Good luck!
Thank you
So true💯
Thanks for watching!!
I know I’m late and I doubt you’ll respond to this, but I got really screwed over with my high school baseball experience.

Do you need to start young to have a chance in the professional scene? How old will it be too old to start?
Kris Lam I don't play baseball but I'm looking to get into it. I'm a freshman in high school, I would just say, work your ass off, do all the chances you can, and work non stop. What are you in? A lot of people say baseball can't be picked up but we'll see
Kris Lam Lorenzo Cain never played baseball until high school and look where he is. He wasn't even intending to play either
I don't think so. I've seen players start playing baseball late and make it professionally. It's probably tougher to do so, but possible. Thanks for watching!!
Congrats on 30k
Thanks!!!
Yes! Preach brother! You have to be the best player in all phases. Attitude included. Oh and guys these days have to stop millennial mind set! I don't want anyone who is like that!
Great vid!
Thanks!!!

Can someone get drafted out of d3 or d2.
Gabe D'Angelo yes for sure
Miky Cal_33. Matt, he is what your channel is really all about. You should be proud to be such a great role model to the youngsters out there who love baseball. and it goes to more than just baseball... Way to go buddy, keep up the great work.
Oh, and this was a great message. Outstanding, brutally honest and true.
Why do mlb players jog to first on grounders? I know it’s a 99% chance of getting out but the videos of college scouts say hustling and mental toughness is most important. Kind of confusing for kids.
Should you go to a Junior College to get stronger and then try to get exposed to a D1 college?
Really depends. For some it is good. For others probably not. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you.
Hey Matt, I'm looking to get started with coaching. I've got about 10 years of playing experience. How would you recommend I get started?
High School or travel ball is probably the best and easiest way to get into it. Then work your way up from there. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Antonelli Baseball Thanks Matt! Will do!
What if you are the opposite? I'd think I'm a rather good person I don't spike my helmet I always hustle and like a 3rd best on the team, but I look around and see all these players and realize most of those people are working the same as me and I don't feel like I have a chance
Just got to keep doing the right thing and keep working hard! Good luck! Thanks for watching!!
Were you a Red Sox fan when you were a kid because your from Massachusetts
How do you get the exposure to college recruiters if you play for a small school?
There are some D2 or D3 schools that could be D1's.
For sure! Thanks for watching!!
Obviously your videos are baseball focused for obvious reasons, but what was your academic experience at Wake Forest like being a student athlete?
Tough school. Lots of work. We all called it “Work Forest”. Lots of very smart kids there. I wasn’t one of them lol. I had to work really hard to get good grades
yeaa 2:20
i gotta question did you win a world series when u were in the mlb
King Cashyy Just look that stuff up man.
Nope never made the playoffs. Thanks for watching!!
Antonelli Baseball o and np
I have a weird question I have never played on a baseball team but I am a really good picher I can throw 85ish and have 4 different piches is there a possibility to play for any college base ball team I just want to be seen because I know that I have the ability to be a really good player and someone that can contributes to a team as bullpen or starter
Please right back if possible thank u
If you really throw 85 with 4 pitches you could play at a lot of colleges lol. Put it on video with a radar gun and send it to all the schools you want to go to. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What happens if your an above average player but not amazing that hustles and plays the game the right way
Depends on average. Average high school player may be tough. Tough to say though without seeing the player. Thank you for watching our stuff and commenting!
Antonelli Baseball thank you Matt!
If i am not a great player and not in a great program but can feel I have potential and am 100 percent willing to work for it what are the stepping stones to become the best I can be? Serious question, am 15 years old
Good luck to you! Check out our other videos we really go in depth about some of those stepping stones. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What about it we want to play highschool and we didn't make it
3B then do your best to get better. Go to the gym
Keep working hard to improve. Good luck! Thanks for watching!!
Matt I really want one of your hats!! Will you sell me one?
I'm all out but trying to get more made! Thanks for watching!!
I came here at 999 views... anyway, who made that intro? It's pretty cool imo
I had it made about 5 years ago from someone online. Thanks for watching!!
Realistically if I'm left handed and I can throw 90s can I at least make independent ball?
Sauce Boss Not enough information. Control, command, and break of several pitches is also very important
If you're a lefty and can throw in the 90s there is no doubt you'll get a shot in indy ball. Harold is right about the control, command, etc. but that can be achieved easier than high velocity. In other words they can teach you that stuff/ help you improve that stuff.
Thanks guys for the feedback i really wanna play at least to that level or even minor league my fastball still has the tailing/running movement that would miss bats
Sauce Boss Do you have any secondary pitches its going to be hard to have success in pro/semi pro ball with just a fastball
Yup!!! Thanks for watching!!
I can play & I’m 39 😎
Matt we have the same name my man
Nice!!!
I don't know how to refer to a coach in this situation so I'll call you coach Matt. But coach Matt do you coach a d1 college or no
Keenz is cool he played in the MLB and he was assistant at wake forest and coaches travel baseball Great TH-camr
ThisWhiteGuy13 ty
I did coach at a D1 school but got out of college coaching 3 years ago. Thanks for watching!!
Can you go to college for baseball with just a ged
Cause I’m really good at it I just never played for my school
That's a good question! I believe you can at certain colleges. Thanks for watching!
Antonelli Baseball ok thank you for replying didn’t think you were gonna reply after a year
You should sell those hats there clean as hell

What about a if you're on the bench like what can you do if you're not playing in that game to get a college coach to like you a little bit more
Did your team just loose
No we didn't lol. Thanks for watching!!!
Biggest thing you have to do besides all of this is market the shit out of yourself. Get to every tryout, workout, and anything and everything that will get you exposure. Write to these college coaches. Show up at a game. Who cares? No one else wants you to make it as badly as you do, so therefore no one is going to push as hard for you. Do it yourself because truth be told, you could do all these things but if no one’s there to see it, it doesn’t matter. Pitchers can all throw 95-+ and hitters can all hit it. The game has evolved to a ridiculous level, therefore you gotta do a lot extra to separate yourself from the pack.
Sincerely,
Nobody special
You’re the Dale Carnegie of baseball
Haha thanks!!! Thanks for watching!!

Hello sir my name is Jordan Newman and just had a quick question for you. I played baseball for 14 years growing up and played 2nd Base in Yale, OK for high school ball. After high school I joined the army but never stopped loving the game. My question is how would I go about getting back into baseball and playing for a college team? I'm 21 almost 22 and have been out of high school for 4 years. Do you have any pointer's on where I should start?
Jordan Newman nibba you gotta go to college
if your not good enough just learn to pitch left handed !
