Everyone in baseball talks about exposure.
Travel tournaments, endless showcases, chasing scouts… families believe showing up is the ticket.
But here’s the truth: exposure without development can hurt you.
In this episode, Dr. Edwin Porras breaks down why most athletes aren’t Arch Manning — and why that’s actually good news.
Arch didn’t need random tournaments to get noticed. Scouts went to him because his name and his talent created a spotlight worth chasing. For most athletes, the spotlight comes after you build undeniable strength, health, and skill.
👉 We’ll talk about:
Why “exposure” can backfire and make you white noise to scouts
The real opportunity cost of nonstop games (missed training, skill work, and rest)
How development builds the spotlight that scouts can’t ignore
Analogies from Arch Manning, Adele, Paris Hilton, and In-N-Out (yes, really) that prove the point
⚾ If you’re a baseball parent or athlete under 16, this is your wake-up call:
Don’t chase exposure before you build the foundation.
Become undeniable. That’s how you get found.
