I get asked a lot what my thoughts are on going JUCO. My answers always the same. “I’ve signed 38 of ‘em, and 6 of them have played in THE SHOW” Houston Astros Scout ~ Jim Stevenson

Hey @grok who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn’t need to be someone I follow. Don’t tag them, just mention their name. I’m guessing Morgan Wallen or Larry Fleet?

Big leaguers come from everywhere. Top of the draft, backend of it, and even free agent signings after the draft. D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO. Getting seen could be luck, could be timing, could be happenstance. I’m looking for guys like Logan everyday. Players are EVERYWHERE.

Passive hitters are a pitchers dream. “Taking cookies and chasin crumbs”

I can’t remember a bigger night in 🇨🇦 Canadian Sports History than tonight’s hockey game versus 🇺🇸 Team USA. I got 🇨🇦 with the W tonight. 4-2

Since the season is weeks away from starting, I wanted to offer some insight into what all coaches are looking for🤔. Coach is looking for dudes who have different plans than being a backup. Make coaches make tough decisions, and that guy playing over you feel your presence.

Pitchers buying velocity programs w/ the “no money back promise” to gain 10 mph or even 5 mph on your fastball, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll send you a program for peanuts on what you’re paying, and no contract. 1 promise, you will get better every day. ❤️& Retweet, I’ll DM info

📌 I’ve done the research to find out what “some” of the best workouts are for athletes to maximize strength & explosiveness. Same answer keeps coming up “SPRINTING”20-40-60 yard bursts. Who’s doing it? Not many. Most only sprint at a showcase. No bat, ball, glove or gym required

There’s been a lot of discussion about the increased velocity that young pitchers are throwing at now. Why they are throwing so hard, so young? and is there a lack of concern for injury, or even surgery chasing ticks in velocity? I get it, they say you got to throw hard to get…

I just completed player meetings at a prominent power 5 school. I Met with 8 players. 7 of the 8 guys I met with were juco transfers. 🤔 Haven’t seen that in a while. They all looked strong and confident. Gotta love the competition. They come from everywhere.

OH Canada, When was the last time you saw 4 Canadians 🇨🇦 playing for 1 team in an @MLB playoff game? @CDNBaseballHOF @CDNBaseballNet @elliottbaseball @CollegeBaseba12

You know it’s October when you keep hearing the best hitters on the planet say, “I was just trying to put it in play.” It’s only about gettin W’s now. The stats are out the window.

The most often asked question I get as a scout; “What do I look for in a player?”. There’s no short answer, but here’s a good start: Great teammate Coachable Winner +Character +Competitor +Attitude +Aptitude +Work ethic *These are traits you’re all capable of having.
