The thing that bothers me about travel baseball is the fact that it is considered to be a necessity nowadays instead of a luxury for a kid who loves the game. The teams are usually extremely expensive, and the tournaments take over an entire weekend including Sundays. The pressure for religious kids like mine to choose ball over church is hard to deal with. However, nowadays, there is a feeling of necessity to play. I never played travel baseball or AAU basketball, but I still made my high school teams which were playoff caliber in both sports. Unfortunately, that kind of path is rare nowadays because the attitude has changed.
how do players in the majors treat the bat boys? or just talk about bat boys in general, your interactions w/ them in the majors/minors?
did you go to the area code baseball games this year?
My son has been playing rec baseball for 4 years now. He loves the game and when there's no more rec baseball to play, he wants to play more. Best thing we did was sign up for travel ball. It improved his skill level when going back to rec baseball and his confidence, in-between times he plays rec basketball and flag football. I think its great that travel ball is there for the months that rec BB isn't there. He is a 10 year old with more passion for the game I ever had, a 50 year old Dad. I grew up on skateboards and surfboards. As long as I can afford his passion I will provide for it. Will he be able to make it to the big leagues ? I don't know but travel ball fills the void of no baseball at all.
Travel baseball ….. where parents spend $25,000 in hopes of a $10,000 scholarship
I’m lost on why the hate travel ball gets. If a child is really into the sport and wants to play more games against better players, what’s the issue?
Travel ball for the most part is a racket...they make money and grow their business off little kids playing baseball....at it's core I think it's terrible....I'm sure some good has come out of it...but at what cost...
Hey matt what's your opinion on legion vs club baseball
Is legion ball good?
Love the vids man. Keep going!
My travel ball team was filled with my friends that I had known for years. So it didn’t really matter if we did good or really bad we still all got to hang out
I’ve been enjoying your channel! Thank you for all of the insight, good stuff bud.
Thank you for having a consistent upload schedule and replying to our comments
Travel ball helped me and the guys around me because we were small town guys and needed more exposure against high level talent it helped us all improve ourselves.
A good club and team will help you move forward. My son got into a really great club that helped get him in front of some good quality juco's and he choose one that I believe was the best fit for him. The juco coach really worked hard to get him moved up to the D1 level. That coach takes pride in the number of guys that move up!! He had quite a number of teams looking at him and With his coaches guidance I believe he made the best choice to pursue his dream. (he wasn't going to listen to mom and dad lol) He's now in his Junior year at SLU, getting som starts and some innings. Chasing the dream!!! Thanks for the videos, I've spent the whole day watching these.
Good information! I have a grandson that does travel 10u travel baseball in Md.
Thanks. This info was very helpful for me and my son.
One thing i've always wanted to hear more about are the things that are rarely talked about. Different ways that players might get an edge during a game. Some might call it "cheating" but i would use that term loosely. Things that fans watching a game might not catch or take for granted. For instance runners stealing signs and relaying them to the batter. How prevalent pitchers doctoring balls really is these days. Maybe some creative ways you've seen players try to get an edge that we may have never heard of. I think something like that would be cool. Anyways, love the vids and keep doing what you do.
How much does legion ball help with improving your overall skills as a player?
You should make a video discussing what happens after a manager / coach and a bench coach both get ejected. What happens after that??? Who takes over the team? Has that ever happened to you or your team?
