What must a top high school baseball prospect do to get to the next level? What is important in a player promo video? Joshua Band, founder of PlateCrate, shares his thoughts on how players & parents can help propel towards playing college baseball in Part 1 of a two-part interview. Plus Rob answers the Question of the Week about whether a full-time travel program or a rec-based travel program is better.

  • why Joshua chose to attend Rollins College
  • the main thing to look for when considering a showcase

  • the main thing to consider when narrowing down college choices
  • what high school kids can do if they don't get recruited by colleges
