The Kardashian-ification of Travel Ball - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 117 | Driveline Baseball

The Kardashian-ification of Travel Ball

A reality show about travel ball is coming, and the kids on it are about to become characters. Deven makes the case for why that is worse than it sounds, then pulls the game logs from his son's junior year to show what we are already asking of these players without cameras: 1,001 pitches, 223 innings caught, roughly 4,500 total throws, and a game frequency that beats an average D1 schedule. Plus the showcase invite they turned down in July, and why a senior-year football season is the right call.
