PLAYER SPOTLIGHT ⚾️ | KYLEN GRAVELY Kylen Gravely is a 6’1” / 195 lb LHH OF out of Santa Margarita Catholic High School with the tools, frame, and ability to play at a high level. This is a projectable left-handed bat with run-producer potential at the next level. Add in a 4.1 GPA, and Kylen has the academic profile to open doors at programs across the country. Big upside here. Keep an eye on him. #C3Recruits #PlayerSpotlight #CollegeBaseball #BaseballRecruiting @kylengravely11

⚾️ A HUGE VALUE-ADD FOR ANY BASEBALL ORGANIZATION We spend so much time developing the physical side of the game—but what about Baseball IQ? Especially at the younger ages, I don’t think we’ve done a good enough job over the past several years of consistently teaching players how to actually understand the game. Situational baseball. Decision-making. Knowing where to be. Understanding why something happens—not just what to do. That’s why adding 6-Tool can be such a HUGE value-add for an organization. Give your coaches another resource to teach the game, give your players a way to learn and test their knowledge, and create a more complete player-development experience. Better athletes are important. Smarter baseball players matter too. 🧠⚾️ #C3Recruits #6Tool #BaseballIQ #PlayerDevelopment #YouthBaseball @six6tool

I went to an aquarium the other day and watched about 300 fish swimming in the same direction. There was one little guy that wanted to be different. It immediately made me think about baseball recruiting. Too many families follow the crowd. Same showcases. Same camps. Same emails. Same strategy. Everyone assumes that because everyone else is doing it, it must be the right path. But recruiting isn’t about following the most popular path. It’s about finding the path that gets YOUR player noticed. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your son’s recruiting journey is stop watching what everyone else is doing—and start swimming in a different direction. 🐟⚾️ #BaseballRecruiting #CollegeBaseball #C3Recruits #HighSchoolBaseball #CollegeRecruiting

The next 4 months can be some of the most important months of the year for your development. 💪⚾️ If you’re a freshman, sophomore, or junior and you’re spending more time running from camp to camp and showcase to showcase than you are training, getting stronger, and becoming more athletic—you’ve got it backwards. Exposure matters. But exposure without development only shows coaches where you are right now. Get in the weight room. Get stronger. Get athletic. Get better. Then go show everyone what you’ve become. 🔥 #C3Recruits #PlayerDevelopment #BaseballRecruiting #StrengthTraining @novosathlete

⚾ C3 RECRUITS PLAYER SPOTLIGHT Nick Carrillo | 2027 | Cathedral Catholic HS Carrillo is a projectable arm who is up to 87 MPH with a 4-pitch mix and isn’t afraid to attack the strike zone. His athleticism goes beyond the mound—Nick can play any spot in the infield and brings a quality offensive approach. He works deep into counts, competes every at-bat, and has the ability to be a QAB leader. A versatile 2027 that will help a college program early. 👀 #C3Recruits #PlayerSpotlight #ClassOf2027 #BaseballRecruiting #HighSchoolBaseball @nickcarrillo27 @cchsbaseball7 @forcesportsca @ztprospectshs

⚾️ FROM THE BIG LEAGUES TO THE YOUTH LEVEL — BASEBALL IQ MATTERS. One of the things that stood out to me in my conversation with 6-Tool is how their platform can benefit organizations at every level of the game—from MLB organizations all the way down to youth baseball. The game is constantly teaching you something. The challenge is making sure players are actually learning it, understanding it, and applying it. 6-Tool gives organizations another way to teach the game, evaluate Baseball IQ, identify areas for improvement, and help coaches develop smarter baseball players. Different levels. Different players. Same goal: Develop better baseball players. ⚾️🧠 #C3Recruits #6Tool #BaseballIQ #PlayerDevelopment #BaseballRecruiting @six6tool

🚨 COMMITMENT ALERT 🚨 Congratulations to Jake Musicant on his commitment to Pomona-Pitzer! Pomona-Pitzer has built one of the premier Division III baseball programs in the country, combining high-level baseball with an elite academic experience.

⚾ The C3 Dugout Fund is officially underway! Our first-ever informational breakfast was a huge success. We had club, high school, and college coaches alongside friends, family, business leaders, and philanthropists—all coming together to learn about our mission. It was a blast sharing our vision for what the C3 Dugout Fund can become. Our mission is simple: help high school baseball players whose financial circumstances may be limiting their opportunities. The recruiting landscape is already difficult. For families who don't have the financial resources to keep up, it becomes even harder. We want to help provide financial assistance for things that can make a real difference in a player's development and opportunities: ⚾ Strength & performance training 🧠 Mental performance coaching 🧢 Private lessons & instruction 🏟️ College camps & showcases ✈️ Travel baseball dues & expenses 💪 And other resources that help players pursue their goals Now we need your help spreading the word. As we kick off the C3 Dugout Fund, please share our mission with everyone you know in the high school baseball community—coaches, parents, programs, businesses, donors, and anyone who believes finances shouldn't be the reason a kid can't chase an opportunity. We've got big goals for this fund, and we're just getting started. Too many people to thank in this post, but I definitely want to thank Coastline Church, my home, for being kind enough to let us use this amazing space. To learn more, get involved, or support the C3 Dugout Fund, email [email protected] or visit c3recruits.com. Let's help more kids stay in the game. ⚾

We have a great morning planned and are excited to share more about the C3 Dugout Fund, our goals, and the work we hope to do for families in our baseball community.

Our goal is simple: help make sure financial challenges don’t keep a kid from being part of the game they love. We’re looking forward to sharing our vision, bringing people together, and continuing to build One Baseball Family for All. ⚾🧡💙 #C3DugoutFund #OneBaseballFamilyForAll #HighSchoolBaseball #BaseballFamily #GiveBack

⚾ KIDS — WATCH PLAYOFF BASEBALL! This is the best time of year to learn the game. When October baseball arrives, MLB players put the contracts, salaries, and individual stats aside. They’re playing for one thing: WINNING. Watch the intensity. Watch how they compete with two strikes. Watch the baserunning, defense, pitching, communication, and every little detail that can decide a game. Finish your homework early. Turn on the TV. Put the phone down. And WATCH. You’re getting a front-row lesson from the best baseball players in the world, playing the game when it matters most. Study the game. Enjoy the moment. This is playoff baseball. ⚾🔥 #C3Recruits #PlayoffBaseball #BaseballIQ #StudyTheGame #BaseballRecruiting @mlb

🚀 C3 RECRUITS IS GROWING — AND SO IS THE NEED FOR RECRUITING GUIDANCE. In less than two years, dozens of high school and club baseball teams have joined the C3 Recruits Organization Platform, and we’re continuing to expand across the country. Why? We are service-minded. We are honest. There is nothing like this out there. Our price point is unmatched. That’s where C3 comes in. We've built what we believe is one of the most efficient paths for high school baseball players to educate themselves, identify the right schools, communicate with college coaches, and ultimately find their future college program. Nothing replaces being good enough. You still have to perform. But once a player has the ability, there is a lot more that goes into getting recruited—and we've proven our model can help families navigate that process. Organizations partnering with C3 receive an entire recruiting ecosystem, including: ⚾ College search, filtering & research tools 📲 Individual player recruiting profiles 🤖 AI-assisted recruiting & email tools ✉️ College coach outreach & communication 📋 Recruiting trackers & organizational tools 👥 Organization recruiting meetings 📱 Mobile access 💬 Direct access to C3 for questions and guidance The goal is simple: give organizations a recruiting system they don't have to build themselves and give every family access to the guidance they need. If you run a club baseball organization or high school program and want to learn more about bringing C3 to your players, please reach out. 📩 [email protected] #BaseballRecruiting #CollegeBaseball #HighSchoolBaseball #ClubBaseball #TravelBaseball
