In this solo episode of Behind The Lineup, host Quinn McGrath breaks down what it takes to make the most of the transition from spring baseball into the summer grind—for players, coaches, and parents alike.

For high school players, Quinn outlines how to structure your summer with intention—balancing strength training, skill development, and showcase exposure while building healthy habits that carry into the fall. He talks throwing routines, position-specific work, and how to stand out to college coaches with more than just talent.

For college athletes, the message is clear: summer is a development window. Whether you're playing summer ball, working privately with coaches, or staying on campus, this is the time to create a focused plan and work on the areas that will define your fall.

Coaches will hear reflections on how to use the summer to grow their teams and themselves, while parents get a well-earned thank you for the vital role they play in every player’s journey.

This episode is a playbook for maximizing the summer season—with structure, mindset, and growth at the core.
