In today’s episode about select baseball, we chat with ex-pro Sam Smith.

• How much baseball is too much?
• Should kids play multiple sports?
• What should parents do to support their young athletes?
• What trait is most evident in players making it to the big leagues today?
• And much more!

Our expert Sam Smith from Johnson City, Texas has been involved with select baseball in some capacity since 1995. Sam was a 6th round draft pick for the Colorado Rockies in the 1997 MLB draft. He played in the Rockies minor leagues as an infielder from 1997-2003. Sam then worked as a select instructor and coach for 10u-18u teams. Currently, Sam coaches his son’s 11u team and also runs camps and provides training for several other ages.
