The #1 Way to Get a Coach’s Attention (Without Being the Best Player)

Your Son Doesn’t Have to Be the Best Player to Get Recruited—Here’s What Coaches Are Actually Looking For

Most parents think their son needs to be the star of the team to get noticed by college baseball coaches. That’s just not true. Coaches aren’t only watching for stats—they’re scouting for leadership, hustle, and baseball IQ.

In this video, I break down exactly how your son can stand out—even if he’s not the biggest bat in the lineup:

  • Why maturity and leadership are more impressive than RBIs or velocity

  • The underrated power of hustle—and how it can tip the scale in recruiting

  • What I mean by Baseball IQ—and why it’s your son’s “SAT score” for the field

  • The simple mindset shift your son can make today to start improving tomorrow

If your son is serious about playing college baseball, this video is a must-watch. No fluff—just practical steps from someone who’s done it at every level: D1 ball at NC State, pro ball with the Cardinals and Padres, and now mentoring the next generation through Mendoza Baseball Academy.
