Market Yourself with a Plan
I've been seeing a lot of good things on Twitter (X) and Instagram coming through from high school and junior college baseball players. Guys are putting out quality hitting and pitching videos, including stats from a game or recognition from a newspaper, etc. Players are even recognizing each other's accomplishments. The one thing I think players should consider is putting together a strategy or plan to distribute information. Sometimes posts seem too random. Stick to a theme, as long as it doesn't seem too arrogant or cocky. Make sure to include video of your workouts. Get clips of squat workouts or other explosive training. Get clips of you doing other things besides baseball. Posts about volunteer service, leadership training, and teamwork and great ways to illustrate qualities of character or other intangibles that are difficult for a coach to gauge in a one-hour meeting. Many players have been great with the baseball community posts, however, don't forgot you are part of the community in which you live. Demonstrate through your posts that you are engaged with other things besides baseball. Show indications that you are willing to put others first.
