You Don't Need to Spend $20,000
to Get Your Kid Recruited
What if you could give your athlete professional analytics, verified recruiting profiles, and arm health monitoring—without the travel team grind, weekend hotel bills, or risking their future with overuse injuries?
Start Their Journey RightSpending More. Getting Less. Risking Everything.
You've been told that if you're serious about your kid's baseball future, you need elite travel teams, year-round tournaments, and showcase events. So you pay $3,000-$5,000 per season. You spend weekends in hotel rooms six states away. You watch your 13-year-old throw 95 pitches in July heat because the coach needs to win a ring. And you hope—desperately hope—that someone, somewhere, is noticing. But what if they're not? And what if all this is destroying the arm you're trying to showcase?
Verified Development. Protected Arms. Real Visibility.
College coaches don't need to see your kid at 47 tournaments. They need verified data: exit velocity trends, mechanical improvements, health history, and character references. DataMound gives your athlete a recruiting profile that college coaches actually search—with metrics they trust, without the burnout. And it costs less in a year than one travel ball season. Your kid develops properly, stays healthy, and gets seen. Without mortgaging your retirement.
The Recruiting Reality Check
What Your Athlete Actually Needs
College coaches don't care about your travel team's logo. They care about verified development, healthy arms, and character. DataMound gives you all three—without the travel ball price tag.
Verified Recruiting Profile
A searchable profile with verified stats, video, and development metrics that college coaches trust. They can find your athlete 24/7—not just if they happen to attend the right tournament.
Arm Health Monitoring
Track workload, recovery, and fatigue to prevent overuse injuries. Your athlete's arm is protected by the same technology used by MLB teams—so they're healthy when college coaches come calling.
Development Tracking
Measure actual improvement with exit velocity, swing mechanics, and performance trends. Show coaches your athlete is developing, not just participating—backed by data, not highlight reels.
Fraction of the Cost
$24-$400 per year instead of $3,700+ for travel ball. Invest in your athlete's development without draining your savings, missing family events, or sacrificing their childhood.
Family Time Back
No more 6-hour drives every weekend. No hotel bills. No 100-game seasons. Your athlete develops properly while still being a kid—with time for school, friends, and family dinners.
Coach Communication
Share your athlete's profile directly with college coaches. They see verified data, development trends, and character references—everything they need to make recruiting decisions.
The Real Cost Comparison
"Little League identified the top 5 causes of youth arm injuries—and the top three aren't about effort or ability, they're about structure. Year-round play, multiple leagues, and showcase events are creating an escalating cycle that places greater demands on young arms. What I'd love to see is more value placed back into local Little Leagues and their communities, where competitive players can develop properly without the pressure to seek expensive outside teams just to progress."
"We spent three years and probably $15,000 on travel ball. My son was throwing hurt because he didn't want to let his team down. Then a friend told us about DataMound. Within six months of having a verified profile with clean health data, he had three D2 coaches reaching out. One of them said 'I saw his development trends and arm health record—that's what sold me.' He got recruited because he was healthy and improving, not because we bankrupted ourselves chasing tournaments."
The Journey That Actually Matters
Twenty years from now, your athlete won't remember most tournament trophies. But they'll remember if you protected their arm, valued their development over victories, and kept baseball fun while preparing them for the next level.
They Still Love the Game
Without 100-game burnout seasons and constant pressure to perform, your athlete arrives at high school still passionate about baseball—not exhausted by it. That enthusiasm is what college coaches want to see.
They're Still a Student
Time for homework, clubs, and other interests. College coaches recruit student-athletes, not just athletes—and your kid has the grades and character to match their on-field development.
Their Arm is Healthy
No Tommy John surgery at 16. No chronic pain that ends their career before college. They arrive at campus ready to contribute, not recover—because you prioritized longevity over short-term results.
Your Family is Intact
Siblings didn't sacrifice their childhoods to baseball. Your marriage survived the stress. Family dinners happened. You invested in your athlete without sacrificing everything else that matters.
You Have Financial Flexibility
The $20,000+ you saved is available for college tuition, first apartment, or whatever they need next—instead of being spent on hotel rooms and tournament fees with nothing to show for it.
The Right Fit, Not Just Any Offer
Because you weren't desperate to justify the investment, your athlete could choose a school that fits academically and personally—not just the first program that offered a partial scholarship.
Give Your Athlete the Smart Advantage
Join thousands of families who are investing in verified development, protected arms, and real recruiting visibility—without the travel ball price tag or burnout. For less than one month of travel team fees, you can give your athlete everything they need to get recruited.
Because when your athlete signs that letter of intent with a healthy arm, solid grades, genuine love for the game, and a family who got to enjoy the journey together—that's when you know you did it right. And you didn't need to spend your retirement fund to get there.
