KBA Prime Baseball

Families,
Don’t forget to take advantage of our partnership with Central Kentucky Eyecare. They are our official optometrist/eye care partner. We receive 24 hr emergency service if there is an eye injury during a game or practice and we receive discounts on eye glasses and sunglasses (all brands they carry including Oakley and other designer brands).

When you go in mention you play for KBA Prime and take a piece of your Prime gear with you!

Don’t keep putting off getting your eye health checked! And a friendly reminder that all incoming kindergarteners need an eye exam too 🙂 Give us a call at 859-303-6464 or email us at: [email protected] to schedule an appointment! Just need an awesome pair of glasses or sunglasses? No appointment needed! Just bring a copy of your prescription or we can call and request it for you 🙂

You can have all the technique and fundamentals, but at a certain age... that "dawg" needs to be activated inside of a player.

Good luck Coach Hoagie and team while you’re down in The Shipyard Park.

Go gett’em.

Congrats to Coach Bryce and Coach Lil Hoagie on yet another 11u Championship. They went 4-0 this weekend scoring 42 runs and only giving up 6!

🚨Players interested in playing at the next level🚨

We are GIVING you a free recruiting platform. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!!

You can’t complain that nobody helps if you don’t take total advantage of the resources at your finger tips.

Get on our recruiting site and create your player card. Make sure to link your PBR profiles and your YouTube page where you should be storing all of your videos. Make sure your page is clean with valid metrics and all of your contact info. If you created your player card last year you need to update it to your new team/age group. If you have committed you need to include that so coaches know.

We are talking to coaches weekly about players and we sending them to this page where it contains EVERYTHING they need from videos, contact info to schedules.

There is a saying that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. We are providing the playform that NO OTHER org provides so take advantage of it.

See below tweets we are making to our over 1000 college coach followers to go see schedules and player cards.

If you have recruiting questions please reach out to Coach Nate. He is more than happy to walk you through the process and let you and your families know what to expect. He has helped over 40 players find a college home to play over the last 4 years.

We will be looking for an 8u and a 9u coach next year to add to our organization. We currently run through age 18 with 18 total teams. We offer indoor and outdoor practice facilities all year around. We give the coaches the freedom to book their own tournaments based on the budget given.

We have tryouts the first week of August so we would like to go ahead and get these coaches so they can start recruiting players. Message us if you are interested.

Congrats to our Prime Players who were nominated for All City.

Here are the 2024 Lexington All-City baseball teams and player of the year

For those that are D1 or bust, here are some rules that pertain to the recruiting process and timelines.

If you’re worried and wondering why a D1 Coach hasn’t reached out to your son at 12u through 16u just know they can’t. D1 cant talk to recruits before Aug 1 of their Junior year and D2 can’t until June 15th after their Sophomore year.

There are no restrictions on D3, NAIA or JUCO but generally they all wait until junior year or summer between junior and senior year.

2023–24 NCAA Baseball Recruiting Rules and Calendar Use the NCAA baseball recruiting rules and calendar to learn when and how college coaches can reach out to you as a recruit.

Equal playing time isn’t fair.

Earning your playing time is.

Just because you work for 5 or 6 months doesn’t mean you get everything you want. That’s not how this works. 5-6 months might get you caught up to where you should be but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it gets you to where you want to go!

So when you are working ask yourself “Am I sacrificing enough? Is there more I can do?”

If you’re not where you want to get to or where you want to be, sacrifice more! Less video games, less free time, less hanging out…….

Catch the guy ahead of you! You’re not going to do it by doing what everyone else is doing!

Focus on what you need to, make a list……

Have To List VS Want To List
✅

Get your “Have to” done before you do your “Want to” list.

KY Select champions!

This kid is an absolute GAMER!! In tight situations you want the ball in his hands or you want him at the plate! Again he came through in the clutch with a game winning RBI triple for the 18u Team to get the #1 overall seed and going 4-0 in pool play in Cincinnati at the Crossroads Baseball Series Cincinnati Invite.

15u-18u Players,
We are currently pushing coaches to your player cards. If you player card is sloppy or 1/2 done this is a bad look for you! Take pride in your recruiting. It’s not mom and dad’s job to handle your recruiting. College coaches want to see you take the bull by the horns. When mom and dad do it all for you it is a HUGE 🚩!!!

College coaches love our recruiting site because it gives them EVERYTHING they need to know. Videos, PBR Profiles, school information, metrics, high school coaches contact info, summer coaches contact info. We are the ONLY organization in Kentucky that offers a full recruiting website like this. TAKE ADVANTAGE!!

When we have coaches ask we send them to your profile. If it’s not complete there is nothing we can do about that.

⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️15u-18u Players ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
We have had several college coaches reach out about players but unfortunately we are unable to send them recruiting profiles because they are incomplete. The Coaches love this option because if you complete the fields correctly it gives them all of the information and videos they need at their fingertips. This has been a great help in our recruiting.

It’s free so take advantage of it!!!!!!!

Make sure you go and update your recruiting profile. Make sure your team is correct as you have most likely moved up in age (16u Crump moved to 17u Crump).

Make sure you link your YouTube page with all your videos, your PBR Profile and your Twitter.

Make sure any metrics you include in your profile are backed up by PBR, PG, Baseball Factory, or Trackman video from your trainers. IT HAS TO COME FROM A CREDITABLE SOURCE!!

If you have committed to play college somewhere there is a box you can enter the school you have committed to and it will show on your Player Card (See picture below) plus it will put you into our Alumni Page.

We love getting these types of messages. Our KBA Prime 13U Norris team participated in the Toyota Miracle League this past weekend and evidently made a lasting impression! Great job Coach Norris and staff on leading these young men in a positive manner to help them becaome the best versions of themselves. Keep up the good work!

Our 18u Team is looking for 1 more 24 or 25 catcher and POs to fill the roster. If the catcher is able to play other positions as well that’s a huge plus.

This team currently has 7 committed players from D1-NAIA and JUCO. It is expected that each player will either be committed or have started conversations with college coaches by the end of the season.

We also offer a free recruiting website where you are able to house all your information which makes it easy to send a coach one link with all your information.

With our first 3 graduating classes (‘21, ‘22, ‘23) we have helped over 30+ kids find a place to play at the next level.

⚾️❤️⚾️❤️⚾️Happy Mother’s Day ❤️⚾️❤️⚾️❤️
to the ones who keep our organization together! Without our moms we would be a disheveled mess of dehydrated, dirty uniform wearing and one cleat having baseball players!

Moms, you are the heart and soul of our organization and everything our players do. We couldn’t do it without you! We hope you have an incredible day!

Another one off the board!! Couldn’t be happier for Harrison Simpson for committing to not only play baseball but also football! Harrison has battled back from injury and through PT to get back and make it to the next level!

Go do great things young man!

Our 15u McRae team is looking to fill a couple of spots due to injuries and some unforeseen circumstances. This team has an extremely talented base and looking to fill the gaps with some strong players. Pitching is always a plus!
