In this episode of Dugout Dish, EMD Baseball breaks down exactly why college coaches continue to prioritize the high school season in their evaluation process and what they are specifically looking for when they come to watch your son play. What we cover: • Why college coaches still show up to high school games despite the showcase and travel ball circuit • What competing against your peers in a real game environment tells a coaching staff that a showcase never can • How coaches evaluate the way players handle failure — and why it matters as much as performance • What situational baseball and baseball IQ look like in a high school game and why coaches are watching for it closely • Why playoff runs and state tournament appearances are some of the most valuable recruiting opportunities a player can have • How the pressure of a meaningful high school game mirrors what players will experience in college baseball • What players and families should keep in mind about the high school season at every stage of the recruiting process Whether your son is deep in the recruiting process or just getting started, this episode is a reminder that the high school season is not just a warmup for travel ball — it is one of the most important stages a coach will evaluate you on. New episodes of Dugout Dish drop every week. Subscribe so you never miss recruiting and development intel that could change your player's future.
