We would like to thank all who participated, we enjoy bringing you knowledge and expertise on players and programs in your area.

Next week, we will be answering questions on either Tuesday or Wednesday, stay tuned. 

Six of the top questions from the Ask.FM Q&A session on January 9th


Generally speaking should 2018’s be attending showcases?

PBR: It depends on how early you want to start the process.

How do you know what level you should be playing at?

PBR: You can get evaluated by a service, make a video, and individuals who have been doing this for years can give you an idea about the level you should be looking into.

What is the best way to contact a college coach?

PBR: The best way to get in touch with a college coach is to get their cell phone and call them on that number.

Are camps a good way to gain exposure?

PBR: It depends on the camp. Exposure is all about getting your name out there so coaches and scouts know who you are and they can follow.

What is the difference between a D3 middle infielder and a D1 middle infielder?

PBR: The difference, in my eyes, is the speed of the game at the D1 level is much more intense so the middle guys have to be able to move better. Also, I would think their ability to hit would be a big difference.

What is the best way to get college coaches to notice you?

PBR: The best way to get college coaches to notice you is to play well in front of the college coaches.
