If you’re a high school baseball player waiting until junior year for college coaches to call you…you’re already late.

In this video, I break down the exact strategy I’d use if I were starting the recruiting process from scratch today:

Why waiting for coaches to reach out is the biggest recruiting mistake players make
The truth about August 1st—and what it actually reveals about your preparation
Why development (not exposure) is the real key to earning D1 opportunities
How to proactively build relationships with college coaches before they can contact you
The simple shift that turns recruiting from stressful guessing… into predictable outcomes
