The Next Season Podcast

You might have talent—but talent won’t save you if you're making these mistakes.

You need to know what coaches and scouts are really looking for. Baseball is a game of details. And if you're missing these ones, you’re in trouble.

In this episode, I break down 4 red flags that coaches and scouts hate seeing from players. These aren't the obvious ones. These are the small habits and behaviors that quietly scream, “Not ready.”

🚩 Phones & Earbuds During Warmups

🚩 Over-Reliance on Mom & Dad

🚩 Drip Without a Grip

🚩 False Coachability (Knowing But Not Applying)

PLUS why they matter from a brain-science 🧠 perspective, and what you can do about it.

If you’re serious about getting recruited, earning playing time and becoming a complete player, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip.
