« Nine pitching essentials | Main | Why pitching isn't rocket science »

To pitch in college, you've got to get noticed. Here's what I recommend.

Andrew_millerIt's the summer, which means one thing: There's no better time than now to get hooked up with a summer league baseball team and keep pitching. It's one of the best ways to get noticed by college baseball coaches -- and even pro scouts.

If you've got to work this summer to earn some extra cash, that's fine. But see if you can work mornings -- or on days that you don't have practice or games.

It's no secret to why ball players -- and pitchers, in particular -- from warmer-weather states wind up getting better looks by college coaches and pro scouts: they play year round. Top draft pick Andrew Miller, shown here, played year round. You should, too. And summer league play helps.

No matter where you live, if baseball pitching is important to you, find a way to play summer ball -- and have fun!
