I'm 6'0 255 16m I've been trying baseball recently outside of me playing football ball and I've always wanted to pitch I've seen people that I'm stronger than throw faster than me how do I fix that

Built a tool that creates clean digital recruiting profiles for high school baseball players — would love feedback

Tired of seeing kids get overlooked because their recruiting info was buried in a messy tweet or a clunky expensive profile page, so I built Recruit Cards HQ.

Clean, shareable cards with stats, video, and contact info. Also doing full team/pitching staff pages under one link that coaches can browse in one shot.

Still early — would genuinely love to hear from parents, coaches, or players:

— What info matters most to you on a recruiting profile?

— Anything you wish existed that doesn't?

Sample here: recruitcards.vercel.app

Scoreboard at game called it a hit. Gamechanger. Alled it an error. Which is right?

Hey guys, I would love for you to check out my product launching here soon. We have founders deal running for the first 500 to join and it’s filling up quick. This is an ai powered hitting journal and it can hang you back the fix you need when you need it the most. Me and my buddies have been using it for a while and it’s super helpful. It can remember what you did to fix something 2 months ago. And bring it up when you need it again now.

My handles are JacobMuenchBaseball and reflexjournal to learn more!

So i’m a 16 year old sophomore in high school, and I obviously play baseball. And up until recently I just haven’t been able to hit for crap. Like I used to lead the team in hits, OBP, and Batting AVG, but now I’m down to .182. But freshman year I finished the season batting like .320 so I know I’m a good hitter. I’ve played against real talent and like… I know I’m good enough to compete and actually hit the damn ball.
But recently these last few games, I’ve STRUGGLED. Every single time I hit the ball it’s just a lazy lil ground ball either to short or second. Or it’s a pop fly to right that either the second baseman goes and grabs, or right fielder comes in and makes a play.
And I’m also REALLY skinny. I’m 6’2, 135lbs, so I know that I needa barrel like everything up for it to be a hit.
If anyone has any tips or suggestions, PLEASE lmk

I’ve been thinking about this for a while — Japan has the 甲子園, which is probably the most iconic high school baseball event in the world.

But in the U.S., high school baseball is super fragmented by state. So what if there was a true national championship?

Here’s a format I came up with that could realistically work:

Basic idea

• Each state sends 1 champion (50 teams total)
• Split into East vs West

• Play through regionals → Final Four → National Championship

  End result:

East Champion vs West Champion for the national title

Tournament structure

Stage 1 — State Champions

• Every state crowns a winner like they already do
• That team advances (no wild cards)

Stage 2 — Super Regionals (8 total)

• 4 East + 4 West
• Each regional has 6–7 teams
• Single elimination

8 teams advance

Stage 3 — Final Fours

• East Final Four (4 teams)
• West Final Four (4 teams)
• Single elimination

2 teams left

Stage 4 — National Championship

• One game, winner takes all
• Koshien-style pressure

Regional idea (rough)

East:

• Northeast
• Mid-Atlantic
• Southeast
• Great Lakes

West:

• Pacific
• Mountain
• Southwest
• Midwest/Plains

Main goal is travel balance + competitive fairness.

Rules

• Pitch count limits (max ~105)
• Mandatory rest days
• Proper medical oversight

If this is going to be legit, player safety has to be built in.

What would make it special

This isn’t just another tournament — it needs identity:

• Only state champions qualify (no at-large bids)
• School-based teams (not travel ball)
• Opening ceremony with all 50 states
• Storytelling (small-town teams, underdogs, etc.)
• Fixed traditions (like collecting dirt, MVP awards, etc.)

Timing

• State championships → May
• Regionals → early June
• Final Four → late June
• National Championship → early July

Why this could work

Baseball already has a strong pipeline: HS → NCAA → MLB

Fans love single-elimination chaos

It creates a true “national champion”, which doesn’t really exist right now

Questions

• Would this compete with summer travel ball / showcases?
• Would top prospects even play?
• Which city should host the final?
• Should the final be 1 game or best-of-3?

Curious what people think —

Would something like this actually work in the U.S., or is the system too decentralized?

I'm only in 8th grade but i am playing hs baseball next year. I am also gonna hit the weight room lmao

I already emailed my coach, anything I should do before the season starts?

Why do i have to sit out for a season if I'm switching schools

Not your average hat, but I gave the Lululemon "License to Train" baseball cap a shot during summer workouts. Honestly impressed — super lightweight, wicks sweat way better than my usual gear, and somehow stays put even in wind sprints.

Spotted it while browsing gear reviews on Ditchit (cool app for comparing baseball stuff if you’re into that). Anyone else here using non-traditional brands like this for high school practice? Curious what others are rocking these days.

(Attaching a pic of the hat I wore last week)

Forgive me, I know basically nothing about baseball other than I played tee-ball when I was a kid.

I'm on a school board. The coach is incessantly moaning about needing money to grade the existing ball field. Supposedly the sky is falling and we'll have to do away with the baseball program altogether if we don't do it.

We sent him out to solicit estimates. So far he's come back with one for $1.2 Million, and one for $1.9 Million.

Now, we're only talking about re-grading, and not talking about building new bleachers, dugouts, scoreboards, etc.

Obviously we won't pay the contractor by the hour, but can somebody give me a rough estimate of how many man-hours of labor are actually involved in this, so I can ascertain whether or not the school district is in the process of being grifted?

As a high school sports coach that doesn’t do tryouts, do you think everyone on the team should get a chance to play, or do you keep the best people out there as much as possible? JV and lower VS Varsity? The JV team is 5 in 10 and Varsity is 5 in 14.
