Daily KPB| Why Size and Physicality Matter in the Recruiting Process - a podcast by Keep Playing Baseball

This Daily KPB episode corresponds to the article on our website with the same title. 

 We’ve written about how in baseball, skill is valued over size. It’s one of the great things about the national pastime—the best players come in all shapes and sizes. Just think back two years to the AL MVP race between Aaron Judge and Jose Altuve. You couldn’t pick two more distinct body types. While the Judge and Altuve comparison is easy to draw upon and helps to show that size doesn’t have to be a limiting factor, it would be foolish not to point out that Altuve is an extraordinary talent. While skill is the driving force for playing opportunities at the college level, size and “physicality” are heavily recruited attributes and do matter. In this episode, we describe the difference between “size” and “physicality”, and explain why college coaches value these two attributes, and why you need to focus on becoming the most physical version of yourself.
