in august there was a freshmen team that would last all year for winter base ball. i am not cocky so when i say this i am honest, and that is that i deserved to be in this class.some kids made it without knowing any fundementals or skills of the game.now there are more tryouts from the 13-15 of january.what can i do to really stand out this time around?

eat a bunch of hotdogs in front of the coach so he’ll think of you like the legendary babe ruth.
I had that once.. in freshman soccer. I didn’t make the team, and i was hella mad at the coach for such a long time. What you need to do is reflect on anything, ANYTHING that you didn’t do so hot in at the previous tryouts. Make sure that is perfect. its too bad the coaches can’t see the effort or mindset you have. if you perfect your game and your physical abilites (the only thing the coaches can see and judge you on) then you MUST get in.
dont be shy talk to coaches and players make some good playe on defence dont just hit the ball hard when hitting hit some line drives hard grounder and huge pop ups it lets them know you can do everything
Talk to the coaches and see what you can do to improve your game. What didn’t THEY see in you? What do THEY think you can do to improve your game and get on the team? They might see a hustle and desire in another player that they don’t see in you. But don’t give up! Michael Jordan didn’t make his high school basketball team. Many of today’s great athletes are in their positions b/c they were given an opportunity that they took advantage of.
Good luck!

Assuming you have skills, hit the ball, know the zone, know how to run the bases, get in front of the ball, catch, throw on a rope. There are a couple of things you can do. Think ahead and know what to do in different situations, don’t fart around, ask good questions, and work hard. A good attitude helps, but you have to have the fundamentals.
Hope that helps.
Give 100% effort. Run out every ground ball, go hard after fly balls, and show disgust when you strike out/pop out, etc. That’s how I used to make my team, and I didn’t have much talent.
play baseball naked in front of everyone you are sure to make it i know i did
If you want the coach to notice you in a positive way then you should hustle at all times, and run out to your position as fast as you can, coaches really like to see a perston who really wants to play hard.
P.S. good luck at your try-out
Get rid of the attitude. I am serious. Don’t go around saying that you should have made the team over others. Even thinking that is bad. That may mean you speak it, and people will mistake you for something else if you continue like that.
A lot of what the coaches look for is attitude. Maintain eye contact. Do not laugh when a person misses the ball. Instead, encourage them to keep it up. Coaches look for that a lot more than skill. Make eye contact with the coaches when they talk to you.
I did not make the team in freshman year either. Just have a good attitude. Respect the coaches decisions. That’s all. Skillwise, it’s up to you.
Do everything asked of you and come off as coachable as opposed to knowing everything. The kids who were just raw talent gave off the impression that they needed to be coached.
run faster than anybody else and play good d. you stuck in the coaches’ mind that way.
