Baseball is different today than it was 25 years ago. The talent that’s out there today, the size of the kids, the magnitude of the coaching that’s available is vastly different. Back in the day, kids had their dads or perhaps a school teacher to coach and teach them the game of baseball. At least the part of it that they knew. That’s all changed. Today, to take you to that next level, you have to have that next-level coach.
