Most high school baseball players think college coaches are recruiting them.
They’re not.
They’re filtering you out.
Every year, players send emails, post highlights, and attend showcases hoping to get noticed—but most coaches eliminate players within seconds.
In this video, former pro player Evan Mendoza explains:
- Why measurables matter more than stats
- The biggest mistakes players make in recruiting emails
- Why showcases don’t guarantee exposure
- How development—not recruiting services—actually gets players recruited
One of the biggest lessons:
College coaches care more about tools like:
- Exit velocity
- Arm strength
- 60-yard dash
- Athleticism
than batting average or ERA.
He also explains why most recruiting emails fail:
Players talk about the school instead of personalizing the message to the coach.
And ultimately, the players who get recruited are usually the ones who:
- Develop consistently
- Improve their metrics
- Communicate well
- Stay visible over time
Because recruiting doesn’t create opportunities.
Development does.
