Why Summer Baseball Stats Won’t Help Your Athlete Make the Team
Summer baseball stats won’t earn roster spots. Find out why coaches focus on real player development, not summer numbers, at fall tryouts.


Why Summer Baseball Stats Won’t Help Your Athlete Make the Team
Summer stats won’t save your athlete at tryouts.
Coaches don’t care how many hits or home runs your player had last summer. They care about growth, skills, and who shows up ready to compete in the fall.

Summer Ball Stats Aren’t Reliable
Summer leagues are filled with:
Unstable rosters
Varying competition levels
Inconsistent pitching
No real stakes or championships
Coaches know the environment is too random. Stats collected there don’t show how a player will perform under real pressure — when it matters most.
Coaches Trust Their Eyes — Not the Stat Sheet
Coaches aren’t judging players by past numbers. They watch:
How your player moves
How they compete
How much they’ve improved
How they react to adversity
They’re comparing last year’s player to today’s. If there’s no noticeable improvement, no stat sheet can save them.
Bringing Summer Stats Can Hurt Your Athlete
Handing a coach summer stats can backfire.
It shows you don’t understand what coaches value. Instead of impressing them, you risk pushing your athlete onto the wrong list — the one reserved for players who are all talk and no real improvement.
Real Development Beats Summer Numbers
The best thing your player can bring to tryouts is:
Improved strength
Cleaner mechanics
Better baseball instincts
Visible growth from last season
Coaches notice real progress — not empty stats from summer league games.
Why This Matters to Sore to Soaring
At Sore to Soaring, we don’t chase summer stats.
We build players who show real, measurable development — the kind coaches respect and reward.
