I see it all the time. Players stressing over Perfect Game and PBR rankings, thinking a higher grade means a golden ticket to college baseball.

Here’s the truth: College coaches don’t recruit based on a number. They care about what actually matters—game performance, athleticism, baseball instincts, situational awareness, and the ability to compete under pressure.

But if rankings don’t matter as much as you think… then what does?

I just dropped a new YouTube video breaking this all down—why rankings are overrated and what actually moves the needle in recruiting.

Here is the Truth:

Rankings are based on one showcase day—not a season or even a game.

Coaches trust their own eyes, not a showcase employee’s grade.

Some high-ranked players never get recruited. Some unranked players go D1.

Recruiting is about finding the right fit, not chasing a number.

The bottom line? Don't obsess over a ranking, and start focusing on what actually gets you recruited.

Go watch the video now—it could change the way you approach this process forever.

Let me know what you think!
