Hi, i am a 13 year old guy and im really into baseball, and i really want to get good and play in high school and collage and who knows even pro. problem is, my parents dont have the time to get me on a good travel team. but i went to a baseball camp this summer and the coaches were really really impressed by me and said i have a lot of natural ability. on a pitching speed thing, they clocked my fastball at 71 mph more than once though i cant aim it too good and i hit a baseball out of one of the high school fields that is marked as being 225 feet. i play center field also, im pretty fast i have ran the 40 yard dash in 5.2 (i know that because i ran that in football practice). what can i do to make myself better at baseball though? my goal for now is to get on the high school team, though im afraid i wont be able too since im not playing on a good team. but i feel like i have the talent, some of my friends play on this one travel team and i am faster than them, i can throw harder then ALL of them, and i can hit just as good. none of this is lying either.

Right now Im currently 5’8 135 pounds and I’m officially caucasion/white. Quick background- Ive been playing bball for about 6 years now and Ive started every year, but one. Well I actually quit bball and just play baseball bc I actually have a good chance of going to college doing that. But during traveling baseball in the summer I had a problems with my throwing shoulder and the doctors told me not to pitch for another 8 monthes. So Ive decided to go back to basketball. Ive been rusty all year and I can’t get my game back, so I need help guys. Coach told me if I work hard enough in the summer I could be starting Point Guard on Varsity bc were losing 4/5 starters and the one returning is our center. My strengths are getting to the paint at will, quickness, fast, and a lot of different moves. My weaknesses are my jump shot and 3 ball and taking contact. I get open all the time with a pull back or spin around the free throw line, but I can’t hit the damn shot. So Im looking to work my azz off this summer with my attack moves, jumper, and ball handling. I give it my all and if I want something I damn well will get it with hard work . Thats what I tell myself b4 I start going hard in practice. Is there any other advice you guys can give me. Like stuff I can work on for being really small. Like defense help or ways to avoid getting my shot blocked. Thanks guys and I will have best answer chosen by tonight if I can.
