Episode 191
Thursday, 29 October, 2026
The recruits who give the best account of themselves next spring and summer are the ones who use the next eight months well. In this episode of Dugout Dish, Andy and Keith lay out the reality of the recruiting process between now and the 2027 spring and summer seasons, and what players should be doing every week to give themselves the best possible advantage. What we cover: The reality of the next eight months of the college baseball recruiting process and why this stretch matters so much The weight room and why getting your body more physical improves your skill set, not just your strength numbers Building a body that can hold up through a long spring and summer in 2027 so you can perform when coaches are watching Academics — staying on top of your grades, or improving them, so you can get into the most schools possible Skill set acquisition on the offensive side of the ball Why defense needs to be a priority this offseason, not an afterthought Catching bullpens and daily infield or outfield prep that will raise your game How the work you put in over these eight months shows up when it is time to perform in front of college coaches Whether your son is a 2027 entering a critical spring or a younger player laying the groundwork — this episode is the plan for making the next eight months count.
