One Summer Skill to Elevate Your Baseball Game

What one skill will you focus on this summer—and how will you track it? Drop your answer in the comments on this 3-minute video, we'd love to hear from you.

Why One Skill Changes Everything

Summer is your opportunity to connect with college coaches, but generic efforts fall flat. The solution? Master the skill of writing a short, personalized email that shows genuine interest. Veteran scout John Ramey stresses that coaches ignore form emails and want to hear directly from players, not parents, to gauge your professionalism.

Write a Winning Email

Craft an email that stands out by being concise, professional, and personal:

• Personalize It: Address the coach by name and mention their school, e.g., “Coach Shoop, FAMU is of interest to me.” Avoid generic “Dear Coach” emails.

• Keep It Short: Write 250-350 words max, stating your interest, introducing yourself, and asking about their next showcase or camp.

• Be Professional: Use proper punctuation, capitalization, and grammar. Have someone proofread to avoid errors.

Why it works: A tailored, polished email shows coaches you’re serious and sets you apart from players sending form emails or relying on parents.

Track Simply, Win Big

Track your emails easily. Note on your phone: “Emailed Coach Shoop: Personalized, 300 words, proofread = ✅.” Log the date sent and any responses. Practice drafting emails with a teammate or mentor to refine your tone and clarity.

Pro Tip: Keep it direct and professional. A concise email from you, not your parents, builds trust with coaches.

The Prize: A Recruit-Ready Profile

Mastering this skill delivers:

• Visible Progress: Emails that grab coaches’ attention and spark interest.

• Clutch Performance: Showing maturity in professional communication.

• Recruit-Ready Mindset: A proactive approach that secures showcase opportunities.

These gains make you a standout at summer camps and boost your fall recruiting prospects.
