The Current Status Of Travel Ball (2026)

I played one year of travel ball.

One year. Between my junior and senior year of high school.

And that was the year that actually mattered for recruiting.

Before that? I was focused on development. Two-a-days. Gym in the morning. Gym at night.

Local games on weekends. No hotels, no cross-country tournaments.

In this week’s video I share my honest take on the current state of travel baseball…what’s working, what isn’t,

and why so many families are spending time and money on the wrong things at the wrong time.

I also get into why the junior-to-senior summer is the one travel ball window that actually moves the needle

and what players should be doing in the years before that instead.

If you’ve ever wondered whether travel ball is actually helping your son or just keeping him busy, this one is worth the watch.
