Parents, do you want to know how college coaches evaluate your child and who and how
they recruit? Written by a former NCAA head coach and—more importantly—a baseball
dad, The Process shares with you what it takes to get there from Little League through
high school.
Walter Beede is a baseball dad who played and coached for the last forty years. He has
helped develop both of his sons into college ball players, and his son Tyler into an MLB
player for the San Francisco Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates. Having lived through the
entire process as a student-athlete, a college head coach, and a father, Walter knows
what matters most for your child.
This is the guide you want to have before you spend countless hours learning about the
landscape of travel baseball and player development. Many claim to have the solution to
your fears. Walter gives you the playbook to navigate the entire PROCESS.
With a foreword written by legendary Vanderbilt University head coach Tim Corbin, The
Process will be the book you reference for years to come.
“I have known Walter for over 30 years, and there are not many people around with his
vast knowledge of baseball. He has played professionally, he has coached collegiately,
and he has had two sons who have taken different, yet both successful, paths in the
game of baseball. These experiences make him uniquely qualified to share his
knowledge and opinions. I am most excited that Walter has put together his thoughts to
pen and paper. He is a very talented father, baseball coach, teacher, and mentor who has
contributed to our baseball community through a very thorough and concise piece of
work.

” Thank you, Walter, for bettering the game and helping families through your passion for
this great game.”
—Tim Corbin, Head Baseball Coach, Vanderbilt University

“Walter Beede brings a wealth of knowledge as a baseball player, coach, and father to
what can definitely be a very confusing process. While baseball is a great game, it can
sometimes be a terrible business. But with someone like Walter in your corner to
navigate the waters, the college recruiting process can go much smoother.
—Eric Cressey, President of Cressey Sports Performance, New York Yankees Director of
Player Health/Performance

” There are very few people in this business that
know the process better than Walter. His firsthand
experience as a player, coach, teacher, and Dad is
second to none. I trust Walter.”
—Travis Jewett, Assistant Coach and Recruiting
Coordinator, University of Southern California
