Today, getting the attention of college coaches is not as difficult. Baseball players have many chances to get noticed. Here are a couple of ways that an athlete can get noticed without paying large sums of cash with organizations that charge into the thousands for doing little things that an athlete can do for himself.
1. Build your own recruiting web site. This is an easy task. Some domain sites like Go Daddy are inexpensive and could charge as little as $40/ year for site availability. On the site, the athlete should have contact information or a "Contact" page. The athlete should have still photographs as well as motion videos of his swing, pitching technique, approach to the ball in the field as well as base running clips. If there are links to You Tube performances, the athlete should link them to his site. The athlete should post his stats from summer teams and from high school. A list of camps where the athlete will attend or has attended is helpful so that college coaches can research your performance and get statistical data like 60 yard time and throwing velocity. Posting the high school and travel team schedule is helpful to coaches. With a schedule of where you will be a coach can find you if he is in the area. The athlete has to use this opportunity to sale himself. Aside from sports accomplishments, the athlete should post his academic accomplishments and community service. College coaches are interested in well rounded individuals who can pass classes, stay academically eligible, and stay out of trouble.
2.
Participate in special
baseball events. Being a member on Team USA, or playing in a Perfect
Game tournament can go a long way and make an athlete stand out from others.
There are many organizations that build teams for special events. Participation in these events looks good on your resume. Amateur
Baseball Report (ABR), Under Armor, and Caliendo Sports are a few of these
organizations that can make the baseball experience unforgettable and impress
college coaches. An athlete should try out as often as possible for special teams and stay in the circle of elite players.
Dear Coaches, Players and Parents:
Caliendo Sports International is announcing three outstanding international baseball tournaments/instructional trips for the summer of 2013. We have selected some outstanding coaches because that is the foundation of our program. Plus we will be having a competitive tournament along with exhibition games. Something we do all the time to help in the development of the players is to train with players within that country. Not to mention the cultural aspect of the trip.
· Italy August 1-9, 2013 ages 18-17-16 and 15 year olds.
· Dominican Republic August 12-18, 2013, ages 18-17-15 and 15
· Dominican Republic August 12-18, 2013, ages 15-14 and 13.
· Japan August dates being confirmed, ages 15-14, 13.
If you are interested in being part of one of the international trips please send us an email or go towww.caliendosportsinternational.com and register, and then we will follow up if there is a possibility of being on a team. We only take between 12-14 players depending on how much pitching we have on the team.
We also supply the players with a donation letter which can be used to raise the whole amount of the trip for the player.
Do not miss this great baseball development and cultural experience; we encourage a family member or more to be part of the trip and experience.
Wishing you a great summer baseball season,
Yours for Better Baseball

Larry Cicchiello Tip. “Baseball Talking On The Field – You MUST
talk on the baseball field and this is not a debatable issue. One of the best examples is when a ball is
hit on the right side. The catcher must
immediately yell “get over” to his pitcher.
If the pitcher is a second or two late covering first base, very seldom
will you get the out at 1B. Another very
good example is when a pitch gets away from the catcher. It is the pitcher’s
responsibility to yell and point where the ball is.
