## Resource

In this episode, we break down the truth about baseball camps and showcases for the 2030 class and younger players. If you’re a parent or player wondering whether 12U, 13U, or 14U athletes should attend recruiting showcases right now, this episode is for you. We explain the current NCAA recruiting rules, who is actually allowed to attend showcases this time of year, and what college coaches can (and cannot) do when it comes to early recruiting. We also cover realistic college recruiting timelines and why most college baseball coaches are not focused on the 2030 class or younger prospects. Finally, we share our honest thoughts on early showcasing, the pros and cons of playing in recruiting events at a young age, and what we believe is the best long-term development plan for youth baseball players who want to play college baseball. If you’re trying to navigate youth baseball recruiting, travel ball decisions, and showcase strategy for middle school players, this episode will help you make smarter, more informed decisions.
