  • All Things Baseball

    Terrific podcast on all things baseball related. All topics discussed are solid, and questions to the guest always come from a well-thought-out point of view.

    My son is a 12 year old travel baller and I feed him technical nuggets throughout the week, with most coming from things I have heard on this podcast.

    Keep it up Patrick Jones!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Talent Isn’t Everything in Travel Baseball | Chris Thompson
Q: What are your thoughts right now? What advice do you have for people involved in travel baseball or in softball to make it better?
Thompson argues that organizations should end stay-to-play hotel requirements, which can force teams to book through selected hotels or pay opt-out fees. He also points to a looming umpire shortage, citing inadequate pay and disrespect from coaches, parents and players.
Why Talent Isn’t Everything in Travel Baseball | Chris Thompson
Q: What would be some of the pieces of advice you would give your 22-year-old self?
Thompson says not to become power-hungry, to remember how difficult the game is for players, and to communicate with young athletes as people. Coaches should build relationships and use criticism thoughtfully so players do not tune them out.
The D1 Baseball Path Nobody Talks About: Logan Hullette
Q: How do you evaluate and recruit high school players and JUCO transfers differently?
We value seeing players live over any tape alone, emphasize the eye test and tools, but also consider long-term development potential, behavior, and how a player fits our pro-ball style and the program's track record of producing DI-level talent.
The D1 Baseball Path Nobody Talks About: Logan Hullette
Q: What does a typical day look like for the Walters State staff and players in the recruiting cycle?
A typical day blends weights, on-field work, and meetings; players are pushed through a grind that combines practice, lifts, and individual development, with recruiting activities woven into the schedule as needed.
Why 18-Year-Old Recruits Are Being Left Behind | ft. Colton Hann
Q: How has recruiting evolved for you, and what do you look for in players?
I look for honesty and a player's fit within our program; I emphasize developing each individual and avoiding cookie-cutter expectations, ensuring that what we promise on the visit matches what they'll experience on campus.
