Recruiting in 2025 isn’t what it used to be. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, we sit down with Coach Jorge Pérez (St. Thomas University) and Coach Rudy Garbalosa (Lynn University) to break down the truth behind today’s college baseball recruiting process.

We explore how the game has evolved, from the impact of technology, the transfer portal, and social media, to how academics, strength training, and patience play a bigger role than ever before. Coaches now rely on data, platforms, and performance, not just potential.

🎯 In this episode, we:

• Break down how coaches evaluate talent today,
• Talk about what stats, video, and platforms matter,
• Explain the importance of academics for scholarships,
• Discuss why strength training gives players a competitive edge,
• Offer real advice for families investing in recruiting opportunities,
• Emphasize what players must do to truly stand out.

Whether you're a parent, player, or coach, this is the clarity you’ve been looking for.
