Hey Matt, I've been watching videos about the facilities at D1 schools for their baseball programs. Appears to have it all. Beautiful weight rooms, training rooms (injury prevention/rehab), nutrition centers, common/relaxation areas for players, facilities for pitching and batting and of course the clubhouse and field. How does D1 facilities and training compare to A, AA, AAA and even MLB facilities compare?

Hey Matt, I took the offer out of HS, played 4 yrs, and then went to college at 23. I went because I wasn't sure if I would ever get another shot to be a pro athlete. I did feel like the old guy in my classes, but intramural sports was fun lol. If I had to do it again, I would have probably gone the juco route to develop my game and my body because you are thrown in to playing with grown men, and if you aren't ready to compete everyday, it is a wake up call for sure. Keep up the great videos.

Thank you for the video. A typical pitcher should probably be more inclined to sign out of high school than a typical position player. The minor league development staff will likely have more emphasis on keeping the pitcher healthy, whereas a college coach has competing interests.

Played with this one pitcher who was lights out, 6’6 220 pounds with a high velocity fastball and went to the Giants in the 7th round. Played through the lower ranks and just fell off the rails because of the lifestyle. He said its the hardest grind in pro sports. Even in hockey, the OHL and minor leagues are basically treated as pros but in baseball your just another player in the minor leagues that gets no exposure. Doesn’t help that he loved to party but even from a young age I thought he would make it to the Show, funny how things worked out

Matt Bush is someone who comes to mind about why you shouldn't be drafted out of high school. He wasn't emotionally mature and got in a lot of trouble off the field. On the field he struggled as a position player and they had to convert him into a pitcher. Thankfully he cleaned up and has an opportunity to pitch in the majors in the bullpen. Josh Hamilton is another example.

But does an education hold up if you haven’t used it for 5 years? There’s a huge difference between having a college degree and joining the workforce. Most of the time you still need to learn how to do your job. So if you have a degree but you took the path of pro at a sport. There’s a good chance you won’t be able to utilize the degree you have.

@@dunnock343 An OLD guy here. On day ONE after college you realize that hardly anything you learned in college actually applies to your new job EXCEPT learning how to learn, and technical stuff like Math, Accounting and Science. But remembering that the Battle of Hastings was fought and won by William the Conqueror in 1066 will NEVER come up outside the lunch room. So, no, and I've hired ex pro athletes, the time away isn't the biggest issue. In fact, hiring a varsity Athlete who went Pro assures me I've got a person who has teh discipline and work ethic and COMPETITIVENESS to WIN at business. I've also been the old guy finishing college. And it worked for me. I studied hard, and efficiently. I was a Dorm Counselor my Jr. Year, and Head of a Dorm my Senior year which was super for finances, AND it gave me serious time to help other younger students and keep my mind occupied why I learned Accounting, Marketing, and WHY the Battle of Hasting was so important. And 55 years later I still remember. The discipline and work ethic from a Pro Ball experience, added to Varsity sports (ANY SPORT) are the important things that last a lifetime. Same was true for Military vets who rose to E-4 and above, and O-2, especially, O-3 and above. As I re-read your post, I think I'm more agreeing with you and just adding to your argument, that what you say about joining the workforce applies to Varsity Sports And Pro Sports. It's about the values, not so much the content--Specialty trades aside--that make the difference.

I would definitely recommend taking the college route. Two months after HS graduation, I went straight to the military. I regretted it for many years. It was the same for me, I was shipped off to Air Force basic training and after, it was tech school and then permanent duty station. At this time, my friends were all still back home. Some were in college and some working, but they all were pretty much around. I feel like I missed out on the social life that I could of had for another year or two. Later as I would come home on leave, my friends were all too busy. They couldn't just drop what they were doing to hang out with me. It was a hard transition to go from beach bum directly to an Airman working B52s on the flightline. I got out of the Air Force in '96 and went to college. I think collage is a time of your life like high school. You are going to come away from college, hopefully along with a degree, with a lot of memories.

Antonelli Baseball It’s been a pleasure. Your channel has become my latest addiction. Since I mentioned wanting to be Ozzie growing up, and you played for the Padres, here’s a bit of trivia: when Ozzie retired and was asked what his favorite play was he pointed to one he made when he was a Padre. Pretty wild since except his rookie season he was a lifelong Cardinal. It’s up on KZfaq but I’m a tech dummy so...no link. Sorry. It involved a bare handed catch and an amazing throw. My question is this: I noticed in the comments on one of your other videos that you said when you watch baseball these days you tend to notice things from a coaching aspect. For my own part I have come to largely dislike the “longball”. On the other hand I love to see a perfect bunt, a guy hustling to beat out a throw, or a fielder catching a guy trying to do too much, rounding a base too hard, or just a cannon shot from the outfield. What aspects of the game do you just love to see? What gets your pulse racing? By the way, no way in hell you’re a bust.

What you said about high school and how it's different, the coaching, players not playing past high school etc. I agree completely. Our coach told us in these exact words "I only care about playing and winning conference games, nothing else." So non conference games he'd just half ass it and throw guys out there. Says a lot about how different it can be with the levels of play and coaching. Now Matt, conference or non conference wouldn't you want to try and win every time you step on the field?

Well fom a development standpoint that makes sense what you're saying. However this coach in my school, he did not care one bit about any of that. He was the keyboarding class teacher and was only there for the extra paycheck. He actually had to ask one of us his players what a balk was, and he's our coach! That says it all there. He also took bribes from parents as well. Be thankful you didn't have to go through any of that and actually got some good coaching to go somewhere with your talent. This coach of ours screwed over many guys.

One thing about college vs. High school is leverage. A good high school prospect with good grades can have options and leverage that with scouts. Pro scouts may overpay to keep you from going college...but you have to have solid college offers. In college, you better hope to sign no later than junior year. I've seen many (as a pro scout) who lose that leverage as a senior in college. What other options other than indy ball do they have? It will be used against the player...because of options and because of another year older. College pitchers are getting better now because the coaches are learning more in development. Back in my day, college coaches were notorious for burning out arms because of a short schedule, playing 2 doubleheaders a weekend and burning arms, plus a lot of pitchers also played other positions. Unless top D1 programs, you were at risk of burning your arm and not getting proper training. We stayed away from those guys. Maybe if they were a fit, big athlete...but that was rare.

@kleshreen 4 жыл бұрын

It really depends. If you are a talented player who is getting recruited by top baseball schools, the pro team will offer you a nice bonus to forego college because you have a good option to go to. If you get drafted after three years in college, you'll still get a pretty good bonus because pro teams will try and coax you out of finishing your college career. If you play out your eligibility in college, though, and get drafted as a college senior, you're going to get almost no signing bonus because you have no other options. They'll also draft you, usually, at lower rounds than you should be because, again, they don't have to pay much for you since you don't have any other options.

@gabrielvazquez1691 4 жыл бұрын

I never had my shot, but if I did I would sign out of highschool. Why? Because, I wouldn't have gone to college if I wasn't going to be in the college mindset. Why would I go to have classes feel like a drag and get through every week for 4 years with a "I'm doing this because I have to" way of thinking. Also, with the money made at pro ball, which would not be much but something is something, I would save that to help pay for tuition. I mean I would have had zero money out of high school now I would have something. Third reason is that we peak physically at age 25. Youth is short and I want to push myself to the absolute limit and see how far I am able to go. I have the rest of my life to be slow and empower the mind. This is just my personal take on the matter.

If you are drafted in the 1st Rd, you almost HAVE to go. If you're a HS player drafted in Rds 2-3, but given an overslot bonus, so you're getting 1st Rd money, you almost have to go. It's life changing money. If you don't get much better in NCAAB, you'll be drafted lower, miss out on $$ & probably not get as many chances because you're no longer a high pick. You'll never have a chance to make up that kind of money

I was so frustrated how bureaucratic college was. Just dealing with the college was a joke. I just felt like a lot stuff I took for granted at 18 was no longer acceptable. I can laugh about it now but it was not fun. You must of felt similar to me.

I think every institution has its politics. College for someone at 18, 19 years old is a different mindset when someone goes back to college in their 30's, 40's because they're established and don't view the world as an 18 ,19 year old would.

@@Frankybeanselevators politics. Coaches son pitches as well as kids on coaches sons travel team. My son has got the shaft since elementary school in our county. He made the American legion team this year and it wouldn't surprise me if they don't cut him from varsity next year. He can play any position very well. He caught for American legion and played third and out field. He pithed one inning to n American legion and got the out of a j and never saw the mound again. Roanoke VA is who you know. Not what you know

This one kid in on3 of my physical science classes was drafted out of high school. He never tried and I failed him. He couldn’t graduate and had to go to summer school. But he HAD to go into the minors bc he would never get into college.

It’s a bad idea to draft someone out of high school bc they’re not developed enough unless they’re an absolutely incredible baseball player
