Send us a textAt just 10 years old, Kalani already has the travel baseball rings to rival Tom Brady. He's been playing since he was six and has racked up game-winning runs, MVP titles, and even took home the “Fastest Runner” award at Ripken Myrtle Beach. That was also the site of one of his favorite memories—walking it off with the winning run and grabbing MVP in the same game.Kalani started out as a catcher but quickly realized he belonged on the mound. Pitcher is now his favorite spot, and he's got the arsenal to back it up: fastball, cutter, curveball, and a sharp slider. When asked whether he'd rather get the final out or drive in the winning run, it was an easy choice. Pitching gets him locked in.His favorite place he's played is Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Something about the mountains and sky made it feel like he was playing above the clouds. But as fun as travel tournaments are, he's quick to point out how much work it takes. Practice four days a week, then games all weekend. It's a grind, but one he clearly loves.Kalani's pregame routine is simple—just one deep breath to get focused. Since he started, he's proudest of how far his hitting has come. He's on a team made up of the best of the best in the region, and he's got big goals ahead. High school, college ball, and hopefully a shot at the MLB. If he had to choose, he'd suit up for the Braves.He wrapped the interview with advice for anyone chasing a sport or skill. “Keep going. Don't give up. Don't stop even when you feel like you can't.” He gave shoutouts to his brothers, his teams, and especially his mom for always being there, driving him wherever he needs to go.Kalani is the kind of student-athlete who makes you believe that the big dreams aren't too big after all. Stay Hootworthy, Kalani!

Send us a textBaseball's developmental landscape has undergone a massive shift in recent years. The glittering allure of travel baseball—with its showcases, fancy uniforms, and promises of exposure—has many believing it's the superior path to player development. But is it really?Drawing from 27 years of high school coaching experience and 8 seasons in travel baseball, Coach Ken Carpenter delivers a thought-provoking analysis of what's truly best for young athletes. The fundamental difference? High school coaches develop student-athletes while travel programs often treat players as clients. This critical distinction changes everything about how players learn the game, handle adversity, and grow as individuals.High school baseball offers something travel ball simply cannot: comprehensive development six days a week under coaches who see it all—the triumphs, failures, character under pressure, and classroom performance. These coaches teach players to compete rather than simply perform, to serve rather than expect privilege, and to represent something larger than themselves. Meanwhile, travel baseball's weekend tournament structure, often lacking accountability measures or developmental focus, frequently prioritizes exposure and winning over player growth.College coaches still call high school coaches first when evaluating prospects—not for skills assessment, but to understand a player's character, work ethic, and response to adversity. As former MLB manager Joe Madden noted, today's system of over-specialization is burning kids out and filling their heads with false promises. The solution isn't eliminating travel baseball, but creating better collaboration between both worlds with proper oversight, certification requirements, and a shared commitment to what matters most: developing not just better baseball players, but better human beings.Subscribe to Baseball Coaches Unplugged for weekly conversations with the game's best coaches who are preserving baseball's soul while navigating its changing landscape.
