I get this question a handful of times throughout the year by players who are wanting the eye of a college scout. This question is interesting because it not only applies to reach a higher level of baseball but also in real life.
So, how do you get recognized?
The easy answer is “be good, and they will find you.” This is partially true, but it leaves the question teller thirsting for more and asking, “What’s considered good, and how are you found?”
The skill sets you need are defined by the abilities of the current roster the coach has developed. They are looking for pitchers who throw extremely hard and have a great location. They’re looking for athletic players who are fast, play good defense, and hit the ball extremely hard.
You might have an unbelievable talent to throw the ball hard, but what if all skill sets are equal?
We recently recorded a podcast where we speak on how to get noticed. The name of the episode is called the Tactical Guide To Getting an Athletic Scholarship. I believe this specific episode is about more than just obtaining a roster position on a college team. I view it as a guide to separate yourself from your competition. It’s to help you show your unfair advantage.
The advice given in this episode can easily apply to other areas in life with a little bit of creativity and ingenuity.
Please share this with someone who has a desire to win and grab the attention of a decision-maker.
