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.

Have you ever seen a coach react to summer stats? Tell us in the comments.

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.
