In today's episose, we are going to focus on a crucial aspect of the recruitment process: what do college coaches look for in a high school hitter? Here are the 5 things: Hit-ability: Coaches love a player who can consistently get the ball in play. They are looking for players who have the hand-eye coordination to make regular contact with the ball and the ability to adjust to different pitch types and locations. On-Base Ability: The importance of this cannot be overstated. The more often a player can get on base, the more opportunities their team has to score. Coaches appreciate players who demonstrate patience at the plate, the ability to work counts in their favor, and the knack for finding ways to get on base. Plate Discipline: This is all about a player's judgment at the plate. Coaches look for players who know the strike zone well and are disciplined enough to avoid chasing poor pitches. Swing: The swing itself is vital. Coaches look for players with a technically sound, quick, and compact swing that can produce consistent line drives. Game Power: Coaches are always in search of players who can change the game with one swing of the bat. A player's power can be a huge asset in the recruitment process, especially if they can combine it with the other elements listed above.
