The RosterPilot Show

The RosterPilot Show is built for baseball and softball coaches who want to get better at evaluating, recruiting, developing, and managing their programs.

Hosted by Patrick Jones, former professional hitting coach and founder of RosterPilot, the show features conversations with college coaches, professional coaches, scouts, and other people shaping the game.

We go inside how coaches actually operate — from evaluating and recruiting players to player development, roster construction, managing a staff, and building a successful program.

You’ll hear real conversations about what’s working, what’s changing, and how coaches are adapting across every level of the game.

Evaluate. Recruit. Manage.
