1. Use College Baseball Openings to Search for Two-Way Opportunities
⚾ Filter by both “Pitcher” and your secondary position (e.g., First Base, Outfield, Shortstop).
⚾ Look for schools actively recruiting both pitching and position players for your grad year.
⚾ Access real-time updates showing roster needs, timelines, and coaching contacts.
📌 Tip: Some programs specifically list “Two-Way Player” as a priority need—those are your best bets.
2. Highlight Your Two-Way Skills in Your Materials
⚾ Make it clear you are interested in playing both roles at the college level.
⚾ Include pitching stats (ERA, strikeouts, velocity) and hitting stats (AVG, OBP, power numbers).
⚾ Mention athletic versatility—being able to play multiple positions increases your value.
📌 Tip: Your resume and videos should emphasize both sides of your game equally.
3. Create a Two-Way Player Highlight Video
⚾ Show footage of you pitching (fastball command, offspeed pitches, mound presence).
⚾ Show defensive plays at your position and hitting clips (gap power, situational hitting).
⚾ Keep it around 4–5 minutes and clearly label pitching vs. position footage.
📌 Tip: Coaches want to easily evaluate how you impact the game in multiple ways.
4. Contact Coaches Recruiting Two-Way Players
⚾ Use College Baseball Openings to reach out to schools that still need pitchers and position players.
⚾ In your email, mention your desire to contribute as a two-way player.
⚾ Include your baseball resume, academic info, and highlight video.
📌 Tip: If a program doesn’t typically allow two-way players, be prepared to show why you’re different.
5. Stay Open to Different Roles
⚾ Some programs may prioritize one role (e.g., closer + DH) depending on roster needs.
⚾ Flexibility could help you land a roster spot faster.
📌 Tip: Coaches value players who put the team’s needs first.
