    How College Coaches Evaluate High School Hitters

    Would you like to work with me to help you find your perfect school? https://patrickjonesbaseball.com/recruiting My service includes: * Full evaluation and personalized recruiting plan. * Direct connections and recommendations to college coaches. * Access to honest feedback from coaches. * Player development support throughout the recruiting process. * Ongoing communication and guidance for both recruitment and player improvement. Episode notes: 1. Consider Position Projection - Evaluate the player's projected position in college, not just their current position. - Up-the-middle players are valued differently than corner players due to defensive impact. 2. Understand Context - Consider how the player fits the team's home park dynamics. - Some coaches recruit based on how their home park plays, influencing player selection. 3. Batting Practice - Focus on hitting to all fields, not just pulling the ball. - Showcase hitting ability by staying up the middle and demonstrating power without solely focusing on home runs. 4. Metrics - Metrics are a starting point, not the sole determinant of a player's potential. - Coaches prioritize hitting ability and swing decisions over metrics. 5. Movement - Coaches look for good movement and a swing that translates to the next level. - Individualized stances and hitting styles are valued, focusing on hitting consistency. 6. Mental Game - Demonstrate competitiveness and resilience in the face of failure. - Show a growth mindset, situational hitting, and positive team interaction. 7. Power and Speed - Coaches value players who can reach second base independently through power or speed. - Power includes hitting doubles, not just home runs. 8. Left-Handed Hitters - Left-handed hitters are often preferred due to swing aesthetics and matchup advantages against right-handed pitchers. - Avoid overemphasizing metrics; focus on overall hitting ability. - Do not solely rely on physical attributes; mental game and team dynamics are crucial. Tips for Efficiency - Emphasize hitting to all fields during batting practice. - Prioritize consistency and situational hitting - Foster a growth mindset and positive team interactions.
