Are You Using The Correct Bat?

More For Most: Defining the Initiative

If you look at the landscape of youth sports today, the conversation is heavily dominated by the top 1%—the Division I commits and draft prospects. While those milestone achievements are incredible and deserve to be celebrated, the nature of social media often creates a distorted reality. The cold, hard fact is that the overwhelming majority of amateur athletes will not play at that specific level. In this episode, we explain how that hyper-focus can unintentionally leave the other 99% of families feeling as if their journey is a compromise. When in reality, playing college sports at any level is a profound honor that builds the lifelong relationships, resilience, and teamwork necessary to advance young athletes as people and working professionals. Using the iconic, full-menu framework of Atlanta’s Marietta Diner, Brian defines the core philosophy behind the More For Most initiative that Power Baseball was built on. He breaks down how Power Baseball intentionally acts as a high-level recruiting consultancy designed to provide equal advocacy, transparency, and resources for the entire roster—ensuring that the late bloomers, grinders, and pure baseball players find their perfect home at the DII, DIII, NAIA, or JUCO levels.

We also discuss the possibility of future Power Baseball bat fitting events. If that’s something your family would be interested in, reach out to us or let us know after the episode.
