Synopsis:

“I had no idea I was being scouted when Al Goldis saw me playing amateur ball in New York’s Central Park League. If I had this book then, it would have given me further insight into the standards required for breaking into the big leagues.”—Devon White, 3-Time Major League All-Star

The purpose of this book is twofold: one, to give ballplayers an inside look at just what scouts are really looking for in their search for professional ballplayers; and two, to help them market and sell themselves so that scouts will know they exist and see them put their best skills on display. Chapters include:

  • How scouts find talent
  • How scouts rate prospects
  • The fundamental ingredients of a Major League ballplayer
  • Marketing yourself: Hits and myths
  • What You need to know about tryout camps
  • And much more!

This book has been written with the intent of helping ballplayers keep their dreams of playing pro ball alive and flourishing. All any ballplayer wants is a shot at playing pro ball, and by reading this book, they will be that much closer to having their dreams come true.

About the Authors: Al Goldis has been a senior level scout in the front offices of several major league teams, including the Cincinnait Reds and the New York Mets. He lives in New York, NY.


John Wolff played baseball for Harvard in college and was drafted by the Chicago White Sox, where he spent time playing for their minor league team. He lives in Armonk, NY
