Today’s guest is Chase Rowe, founder of the Pittsburgh Spikes & head coach at La Roche College.

Rowe prides himself on placing development ahead of plastic trophies. Considering he’s a college head coach I think there’s something to be said about that.

You'll get to hear how legendary baseball guys Bill Mazeroski & Jeff Messer both had a huge impact on his coaching.

I hope you enjoy this episode of Travel Ball Talk.

Today’s guest is Jason Slattery, GM of Chandler World. 

The Chandler Bat company has had different levels of involvement in the travel ball world over the last few years. I think it’s safe to say that they are here to stay.

In this conversation Jason gets us up to speed with the Chandler’s commitment to teams. We also get into a very interesting conversation about international players & how they are impacting Chandler as well as how Chandler is impacting them.

I hope you enjoy this episode of Travel Ball Talk.

Today’s guest is Mark Helsel, founder of US Elite.

I’ve known Mark for long time & have identified what I believe is his super power. We discuss that at length and how it impacts everything he does.

This is a very informative show & Mark shares a lot of things that coaches would be smart to implement.

Be sure to listen for details on possible opportunities to team up with US Elite.

Today’s guest is Richie Palmer, owner & founder of Elite Squad.

This is a must listen for anyone that aspires to make baseball their full time job. We discuss no less than 4 different pieces of the pie that allows Richie the opportunity do just that.

We talk at length about the importance of mentors in Richie’s life.

And we also discuss the impact his brother has had on Elite Squad. Many of you likely know him from his days playing at The U even if you didn’t realize they were brothers.

Welcome to Travel Ball Talk from Rich Prado, owner of Play In School

Rob Bruno founded NorCal Baseball in 1992. Closing in on 3 decades of baseball, or any business, is not done by accident.

Our conversation covers a variety of topics including his thoughts on early recruiting, relationships & possibly writing a book.

Bob Rikeman provides some common sense solutions for the NCAA in regards to the epidemic level of early commitments & subsequent de-commitments.

A huge announcement is also made live on the call that I believe will change how travel ball organizations approach their scheduling.
