The Process

Stop chasing exposure. Start building a player.

Written by a former NCAA head coach, 1981 Chicago Cubs draft pick, and father of two-time first-round pick Tyler Beede, with a foreword by Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin. The Process gives baseball families a clear, age-by-age plan from Little League through high school.

Using his "Ages and Stages" framework, Walter Beede shows you what matters at each level and what you can stop paying for.
