    2018 Select Baseball Fall Season

    Well since the last thread was so good figured I would start a fall season thread for the guys playing. We have tryouts in 10 days at Rothwood on August 10th for my 13U team if anyone is interested. Good luck to all who is trying out for their clubs!

        No fall ball here... rest, strength training, work on mechanics, and MAYBE a start here or there as a pickup player. He grew 8 inches in the past year and a half (6'2" now) and while he had a great summer pitching, it highlighted some minor mechanics issues that developed with such fast growth and are holding him back a few mph. Currently sitting at 83 on the fastball and gonna try to pick up 3-4 more mph...

          Yes sir will be with SSK1 again this fall. The team really picked it up late in the season, so looking to add 1-2 players will get this team to where it needs to be in the fall.

            Hope you guys find a couple of kids that fit with your group! I hear alot of kids move to the organizations at 13 and up, but don't know if there is any truth to that. Do you guys plan on playing 14u some to get the kids some experience on the big bases? My little guy still isn't comfortable with the -5 bat, but is swinging it alittle better.

              You really do need to look at the organization side when you get older. They have the connection with the college coaches over an individual team. Plus they showcase all over to help the kids. Yes we will play some 60/90 in the spring to get ready for High School. Tell little man to keep swinging and getting stronger it will come.

                  Guys good luck on your new teams. Just make sure you check your coaches out good before you joining their team. Just found out that a guy that played in our organization was recruiting the whole time and started his own team and took a few of our kids pretty shady if you ask me. I know it's select ball, but you don't recruit while playing here you could have waited for the season to be over. That's ok now I will just get in his tournaments and hope we play them LOL! Bad thing is this guy burned them a couple years ago by walking away guess they never learn!

                    Not sure I'm looking forward to all that showcase stuff! Lol. Our only hope for him is that if he wants to continue playing in highschool he will be good enough to make the squad. He loves the game and we love watching him play and work hard towards goals. Thanks for always giving me good insight! My baseball knowledge is limited and this is all new for us.

                            Big Organization - vs - Single team

                            Age Group 14U Class of 2023

                            What is the recommendation? Especially if the kid shows exceptional potential?

                            I hadnt really thought about "exposure" or "college" until this exact discussion last night with a buddy of mine. He has an older daughter who went through the recruiting process for softball and he is a firm believer in gaining exposure early.

                              Great Organization!

                              Is the coach Garrett or Fry?
