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 baseball offers a prime opportunity to catch a scout’s eye, but spreading your focus too thin can weaken your impact. The solution? Hone one skill that reveals your true character and consistency. Veteran scout John Ramey emphasizes showing up unannounced at a low-key game to prove you play the same, whether it’s a big stage or not.

Be Unseen: Prove Your Consistency

Scouts value players who perform consistently, even in less important games. Visit a non-district or non-conference game without your team gear—no Seattle Mariners hat or radar gun. Arrive late, enter through a side gate, and watch from a discreet spot, like right or left field. Observe:

• On-Field Consistency: Does the player hustle the same as in big games? Are their at-bats as focused?

• Off-Field Habits: Are they still engaged with teammates, showing the same energy and leadership?

Why it works: Playing your best when you think no one’s watching proves your character and reliability, traits scouts prioritize.

Track Simply, Win Big

Keep tracking easy. Use your phone to note: “Player X: Same hustle in low-key game, solid at-bats.” Focus on consistency metrics, like maintaining effort or approach in every play. Have a teammate or coach verify your observations during drills or games.

Pro Tip: Stay relaxed but deliberate. Consistent small notes build a strong case for your dependability.

The Prize: A Recruit-Ready Profile

Mastering this skill delivers:

• Visible Progress: Consistent effort that scouts notice, even in quiet moments.

• Clutch Performance: Proving you’re reliable in any game situation.

• Recruit-Ready Mindset: A disciplined, authentic approach that sets you apart.

These gains make you a standout at summer showcases and boost your fall tryout performance.
