HS teams playing travel ball together
#13
I am here as sent by a good friend.

High school summer ball is very strict. Many kids in our area are 2-3 sports athletes and are shamed to not be at Summer Football or basketball.
I started my organization as a whole to openly bring light to East Kentucky Baseball. I have a great relationship with a lot of colleges from College and playing through the years post-college. I know what organizations ask for players to pay for a summer of "Elite" travel ball and it is for the rich. I take aim to not make a killing at this but give the most opportunity on the tightest dime. We had a 15 and 17u team this summer and I had 1 kid from the 2 teams that weren't east of I75.

With that, I have spent many days emailing and exchanging data, stats, and information with colleges that did not know of the kids or had no connection to East Kentucky baseball because the Lex and big city summer ball organizations take care of theirs first. I wanted to bridge that gap and have done a great job already.

As to playing as a high school team, it is super hard. An HS coach can not coach more than a specific amount of kids on an organized team during the summer. So you turn that over to a parent and things arent the way you want them. You either pick to grow as a team or take the kids that want to excel at the next level and get recruited and join them on one team. That has been my goal and I continue to push that cause.

If someone ever had questions I can gladly answer them or talk on my Facebook Page. East KY Prospectors!
