The New Reality of College Baseball with Coach Tyner
Sponsored by ProLine Training Balls and Bluebook Sports
Train with ProLine. Connect with college coaches on Bluebook Sports.
In this powerful episode of the Coach Beede Podcast, Walter is joined by one of the most authentic voices in college baseball — Coach Matt Tyner, head coach at Towson University. What unfolds is a masterclass on today’s recruiting landscape, roster caps, the transfer portal, preparation, development, and the realities families need to understand as college baseball continues to evolve.
Coach Tyner brings blunt honesty, decades of wisdom, and a fresh dose of perspective every parent and player needs.
The Roster Cap Reality (34 players):
Why roster limits are changing everything — scrimmages, depth charts, cuts, development, and year-to-year planning.
Transfer Portal Chaos:
How the December 1 roster deadline conflicts with portal timing, why the NCAA may have miscalculated, and how this affects thousands of players.
DSA (Designated Student Athlete) Loopholes:
Why some programs may carry 40+ players and how DSA spots impact recruiting and retention.
Why Older Players Dominate:
From 23–25-year-olds to former pro players entering college baseball — what this means for incoming freshmen and recruiting classes.
Is Division I Becoming MiLB Rookie Ball?
Insight into MLB’s desire to reshape the development pipeline, shorten the draft, eliminate levels, and use college baseball as its feeder system.
Summer Ball, Tampering & Retention:
The real impact of summer leagues, player poaching, and how teams try to protect their culture and roster integrity.
Recruiting Breakdown (Coach Tyner’s Ideal Mix):
✔️ 1/3 High School
✔️ 1/3 JUCO
✔️ 1/3 Transfer Portal
A balanced strategy for success — and survival.
The Value of Strength, Size & Tools:
Why college baseball is bigger, stronger, faster than parents realize — and why strength training is no longer optional.
Hit Tool vs. Speed:
Can you hit? Then someone will find a place for your bat — but you still need a role, a skill, and a way to help a team win.
Reality Check for Families:
Most players in the portal will NOT find a lateral home.
Coaches don’t cut with malice — they manage rosters, scholarships, rules, compliance, and performance.
The Purpose of College Baseball:
Growth. Maturity. Education. Competition. Identity.
Not chasing illusions of the next level.
