Sometimes you hear people say if you are good enough coaches will find you.  That can be true but you have to be out playing baseball where coaches are at.  If you live in a small town and you are not near a college you have to understand college coaches find it hard to make it there and quite honestly they go to places that allows them to see many players at one time.  What does this mean for players in small towns?  It means you have to hit the road, you have to find teams that will take you to tournaments so coaches can see you.  If you think people will find you because you are good enough you are wrong.  If a coach hears about you and they hear you can play, most times the first thing they want is your summer schedule.  Why? because they want to find tournaments you will be at along with other players they are looking at as well.  No coach wants to travel hours upon hours to look at one player, some might do that but for the most part you have to travel to them.  Coaches recruit all summer, they are always on the road, they are busting their butt to find good players, so all you have to do is make it easier for them to see you.  Find a team, go play, and work hard all the time, once you do that it is up to the coach to determine whether or not you fit their program.  Have fun, good luck, and remember play the game because you love it.
