Baseball Recruiting Program
Building Your Pathway to College Baseball
At the New Jersey Thoroughbreds, we are currently developing a comprehensive recruiting program to help athletes achieve their dreams of playing baseball at the collegiate level. While our full program is being built out in phases, we are excited to introduce our first phase: professional social media guidance and support. This initiative also plays a key role in our Leadership Program, fostering the personal growth and accountability of our athletes both on and off the field.
Phase 1: Social Media Professional Pages
We’re kicking things off by helping athletes build and maintain a professional online presence—a critical component in today’s recruiting process. College coaches are increasingly turning to social media to scout players, and we are here to ensure our athletes make a strong, coach-friendly impression.
This phase includes:
Personal Professional Pages: We’ll guide athletes in setting up dedicated, polished social media profiles to showcase their baseball journey. These pages will highlight key stats, achievements, and milestones.
Posting Guidance: We provide clear advice on what to post—and what to avoid—ensuring athletes keep their pages professional and appealing to college recruiters.
Ongoing Support: Our team will review profiles and offer feedback to help athletes consistently create quality content that attracts attention from college coaches.
The Athlete Portal: Accountability Across All Aspects
Our Athlete Portal is already in motion and serves as the foundation for our players' development, helping them stay accountable and track progress. This portal supports athletes with:
Goal Setting & Tracking: Allows athletes to set personal, and baseball-specific goals, helping them stay on track.
Progress Monitoring: Tracks physical and skill-based development throughout the season, giving athletes and coaches a clear view of where improvements are being made.
Personalized Coaching & Resources: A one-stop platform for training materials, drills, and educational resources, all customized to the athlete’s needs.
As we continue to build out the portal, the next steps will focus on adding baseball-specific content and mental performance resources, and metric tracking so athletes can continue developing both physically and mentally for the next level of competition.
Leadership Development
This recruiting program is not only about baseball development; it is an essential part of our Leadership Program. As athletes manage their professional social media pages and track their growth through the Athlete Portal, they are also learning how to take ownership of their progress and decisions.
Ownership & Accountability: Athletes are encouraged to take charge of their personal brand and development, learning responsibility in every aspect of their journey.
Communication & Professionalism: Maintaining a professional online presence helps athletes develop communication skills and professional conduct—critical qualities that translate to success both in athletics and life.
What’s Next?
While Phase 1 focuses on social media and the Athlete Portal, upcoming phases of our recruiting program include:
Video and Photo Content Creation: Professionally captured videos and images showcasing athletes’ skills to college scouts.
Metric Days: Regular performance evaluations to measure key metrics such as speed, strength, and skill progression.
Exposure Opportunities: Participation in tournaments, camps, and clinics to ensure maximum visibility to college coaches.
Join Us on This Journey
Though we’re still in the process of building out additional phases, athletes who get started now will gain the benefit of being a foundational part of a growing and evolving program. Your path to collegiate baseball starts with a strong online presence, and with our athlete portal already in place, you’ll be supported every step of the way as you grow into a leader both on and off the field.
