Baseball Gloves & Skills : What Do Baseball Scouts Look for?

[Trey8knights]

@MrStudlyPants I think it is hilarious how you say Lincecum has perfect mechanics, when his are mayb the worst. For one he doesn't have front shoulder alignment, 2 he throws across his body, and 3 he jerks his head very bad. About the only thing good I know from his wind up is that he goes down, back, then up with his throwing arm, and he strides atleast his body length

@TheCCny1 19 Homeruns in 30 games is garbage dude. when I was in 7th grade I hit 5 homeruns out of 12 games. That was my first year on high school field, and I still had more homeruns then most of our starters.

[MacDaddyssf]

There are some exceptions, but IT IS BETTER to be tall.

[MrXJaRvIsX]

Just to let you know i went to Cal State Fullertons camp Richie the starting SS and lead off is only 5'6.

[MrXJaRvIsX]

Im 5'5 and i plat starting JV and just recently got bumped up to practices for varsity and im a freshman!

[Hector3158]

Btw... I'm not being the antagonist.... This gentleman has very useful information....

I'm sure he has experience in the game...

But his conventional oversimplified conception of height is wrong and unfair....

[Hector3158]

@mrstudlypants agreed... Who is this guy to tell short players can't play baseball... I beleive the smaller you are, the bigger heart you have.... Why? Because many people like myself are under rated because of our lack of height...baseball is for short and tall. skinny or fat .... Baseball has no color, ethnicity, age, height, or weight.... That is why I strongly beleive baseball is the sport for ALL

[OFWGKTAMA]

bullshit

[ibanezmanvicente8a]

ohhh wait..... so theyre looking for a fast guy, that plays good defense, hits for power, hits for average, and has a strong arm... AKA a beast baseball player

[Thethrill1221]

honestly, i kind of wanted to punch him when he sayed they only like the tall ones. im a short 8th grader, and i play on jv for my school.

[MrMackey2mhhkay]

@Thethrill1221 I hear ya bro i played on my varsity baseball team at the end of 8th grade on a summer team. im 5'6'' yea obviously its nice to be tall. But if it comes down to equally good players and ones short and ones tall they will go with the best attributes to because ones taller or shorter.

say bonk plz

[99kerouac99]

The baseball body is a myth and any scout that bases a search on it is losing a good portion of his prospects

[bamargera403]

i love how he says there looking for people that can throw accurately and then he throws a ball at very slow speed

[SlidingMaster17]

does anyone know how to contact scouts i go to a small school but im real good at baseball and i mean REAL good (not trying to brag, just sayin)

[OneAndAHalfStar]

@SlidingMaster17 play for a rep team AAA atleast and if your good they will find you

[KregelParkview]

Very informing video

[jama463]

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother? I hurt people.

[Trey8knights]

When he swings at 1:10 its horrible cause he strides and swings at the same time!

[TheCCny1]

@Trey8knights i stride and swing at the same time and hit nineteen homeruns in 30 games -.-
